"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I don't think "frothy" and "lung" should ever be used in such close proximity.

I am right there with you. t froths

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I need to get the name of the stuff, so I can try to find it around here.

Oddly, you are the second person I've heard of today who had a jar of that stuff confiscated by airport security. Is there some kind of Biscoff/Spekuloos spread meme going around?

The meeting was ok. We will see what happens from here forward. We have a couple of new things to try.

After that I went to the Nail Salon Nicole has been talking up for the F2F. Nice place. Happy with the results.

Then I stopped by the jewelers. Walked in with a stopped watch and some old jewelry. Walked out with a working watch, an 18" white gold box chain, and $120. Not too shabby.

Stupid reason for the failure of the acceptance test: someone was running a parallel system that was "stealing" files. AHHHRG.

Anyway, I was a bit pissy.

And now, where is UPS? My package of badly needed catfood has been "out for delivery" since midnight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yesterday's neverending deployment stretches into today. Still waiting on CIO approval to start. Which means everyone has to hold position until 6PM. Including the vendor. Which I'd feel bad about, except yesterday they kept us hanging for much longer.

Still! I want to know for sure! I'm glad I didn't go into the office, because I'd probably have to stay there until at least 6.

I hope you're done by 6.

Posting makes UPS dude show.

Awwwwwwwww man. I had a perfect record for karate last week. Since my last post, my head has started hurting, as in impending migraine...Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Har! No, we start at 6. At least we got word, though. Now the people that are waiting around, are waiting around for something to actually do.

The husband of my neighbor who often catsits is in the hospital down the street. He had surgery a few weeks ago and developed a pulmonary embolism last night. Dr told him he'd seen better CAT scans of dead people. Yikes. But he is doing much better, and they caught it just in time.

I'm gonna have to bake her cookies or something. Or get takeout dinner for her and the kids one of these night (I'd cook except I know her 2 kids are very.very picky, so going out and getting them Boston Market or something is probably more helpful to her.)
