Okay, I pulled the trigger on the laptop. I don't know why I do that to myself. Yay, new laptop!
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I pulled the trigger on the laptop. ... Yay, new laptop!
Just because you're getting a new laptop doesn't mean you have to shoot your old one!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay Theo! I know it's not the job you've been hoping for, but pays more than unemployment and close to home sounds like a big yay to me!
Thanks for the heads up on Pound Cake Day, Amy. I have throw together anotehr Ounce Cake in honor. I've always hated creaming sugar into butter, but in tiny amounts it's not that bad.

People don't make actual "pound" cake anymore do they?

I know somebody who regularly did -- he nicknamed it "White Death" because of the pound of sugar involved.
Yeah, not the greatest of jobs, but it does have health insurance and so on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Indeed! Especially if you don't hate it while you're there!

Because books.
That's excellent news, Theo! The insurance alone is a huge plus.
I know someone asked before, but is there a difference between a crockpot and a slow cooker?

I'm pretty sure crockpot is actually a brand name, TM.
