Because I got angry at people here (yes, apparently you will need to recompile--why in shit's name couldn't anyone have told me this last week? I have to get in your face and point out I've been asking the question for days and *need* to know if there's a requirement for a Java developer--it's frustrating how many things have ended up in the project plan because I kept asking the same question over and over until I got a different answer--it's pretty obvious no one is paying full attention to it when I send it out for review. I need to walk everyone through it line by line, and even then, sometimes they don't talk) I took a random tumblr break, and now I've ended up in a space I don't even understand. It seems to be "social justice" and "trans women perpetuate rape culture" and it's miserably fascinating.

I dunno. Tumblr isn't a good place to get angry.

Sorry for the awful, Fred. Glad it wasn't any worse, and that you, Hubs, and the cats are home now, with power.

Happy Birthday, Frank!

Salads: my diet offers, nay, encourages, all the lettuce I can eat. Let's just say I've set a minimum requirement for lettuce and manage to get that down. Salads=not food, in my world. I'd sooner go without, if that's what's for dinner.

I am with t. If I want a salad, a muffin is a poor substitute. But also vice versa. I would say I eat more salads than muffins, because I dislike most coffee shop type muffins. However, homemade ones are delicious. So I'm torn.

Are we sure a zucchini muffin isn't basically the same thing as a salad?

Muffins are definitely food, but made-with-flour means none for me. Still, a bit of cheese, chicken, hummus, or even yogurt or cottage cheese is what my mind accepts as "food".

All of which I can put on a salad with a dab of dressing cut with water and call it dinner. But cutting stuff up myself is tiresome, when what I get at the end of it is "salad."

I just grab a handful of lettuce and eat it unadorned. It's inoffensive, if uninspired.

I thought we were sure it was. Basically.

TOTALLY the same thing. It would be unhealthy to NOT eat zucchini muffins.

I'm a science editor (science!). You can trust me.

That sounds like a tiresome weekend, Fred. I'm glad you have power again.

Today it was about 85F when I went out to lunch, and my first thought on stepping outside was, "This is kind of nice." My usual response to 80+ is "ugh." Then I managed to eat a lunch rife with drippy things (French dip, fries and ketchup) without getting a drop on my white shirt. I think I may be in an alternate dimension. I'm thinking the split occurred when the Supreme Court did something that failed to piss me off last week. It's all shrimp-less from here on out.

Also, in this dimension, zucchini muffins = salad, so I'm planning to stay.

Happy Birthday, Frankenbuddha!!

Sorry things are so frutrating at work, ita !

Fred, that sounds horrid! I'm glad you're back home safe though.

EAT A FREAKING SALAD, WHITEY.

Hahahaha!

Dear road construction workers, please turn off your radio. I really don't want to spend my day off listening to crappy country music and I can't close the windows without cooking myself and 2 cats.

Sigh. Going outside to talk to these guys would mean putting on a bra and outside pants.
