'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm good if there's a shutdown, but our invoices won't be paid in a timely fashion. Receivables will be a mess, and I'll get yelled at because I won't meet my monthly metrics, but that's nothing in comparison to what friends and work colleagues will be going through.
I'm sorry for anyone who's going to be furloughed.
We'll be fine - it will get to be a pinch if it goes on for more than a couple of weeks, but if it's a day or two it's actually not a big deal, even a little break.
Don't know if I'll eventually get paid -- the agency paid salaries after the last shutdown, but its current budget is, uh, controversial. All of my peers seem to be ok with about a week's unpaid shutdown. I'd be ok with it too if I didn't have to also go to jury duty!
It's the best of both worlds!
How lazy is too lazy? If I make ice cream according to the recipe but substitute soy milk for cow's milk (but use real cream) is that going to mess anything up other than jeopardise the flavour?
I mean, anything chemical?
I bet it's OK, as long as the fat contents are similar.
Speaking of lazy, I just made a potato's worth of chips in my oven, which was super easy thanks to my mandoline, and I might just make another one and call that dinner.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Amy!
Don't know my status yet for work. Those in charge will send out an e-mail on Friday.

Yeah, what flea said. Heck it'll be less stressful than when I was out of work trying to get this contract lined up. At least now I have health insurance.
Also FTR, staying home from work today was a good call, since I got not one email I needed to respond to. And I did my laundry.
