Grr. The experienced guy on this part of the project fucked up, but I'm lead, so it's my job to look bad. He went ahead and did shit without approval, and, seriously, I take his word for these things. What do I know?

At some point I have to get over the "new girl" schtick, but seriously, experts. Don't lead me down the wrong pathways.

Honey never goes bad!

And aren't Americans considered pretty weird for storing eggs in the fridge to begin with?

Yeah, when I first started dating Tom, he was still putting his eggs in the cupboard. I put an American-style kibosh on that, though.

Bailey's will go bad. Oh Jesus, will it go bad. Although that was more the "cream" part going bad and not the alcohol part, one assumes.

So I should dump that bottle that's been in the cupboard for three...four years?

If the fridge has a lot of liquid in it, it then the fridge may stay cold longer, and thus the food stay cold longer. If I am home when power goes out, I move blue ice from the freezer into the fridge after a couple of hours and run to the store to buy a bag of ice at the three hour mark.

Give the bottle a shake and pour some in a glass to check the consistency. It wasn't the taste that tipped me off that it went bad; it was the fact that it had changed from liquid to partially solid, ewwwwwww.

OH GOOD LORD. I have to have a meeting with two VPs in a minute about an issue that only exists because of five people having various two-way conversations instead of us having this meeting in the first place. I wish my hair looked better, and I felt less cracked out.

And then it's the org-wide spelling bee, which I made us enter.

At least I finished one unrelated thing off my to-do list just now.

I need to stop arguing in the comments section of a blog about socialized medicine and how people will stop working if America gets socialized medicine.

I asked for proof and this is two examples of the proof he gave me:

Put a bird feeder in your backyard. See if any birds come for the free food. See if more keep coming.

and

People win the lottery and quit their jobs because everything is then free

I would totally quit my job if I didn't need it for the insurance! I'll pay my rent in Band-Aids! FREE SOCIALIST BAND-AIDS.

It's always so sad when a vet fixes a wild bird's broken wing, and then when released, the bird refuses to look for its own food but instead hangs out at the vet office for more wing-fixing.
