I've never been able to make a grilled cheese as good as one you can get in a coffee shop or diner, though. Something about those grills and the very orange cheese ...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Today should be my Friday but I need money and yesterday was a half day due to rain, so I'm working a partial day tomorrow. Thursday hasn't been my Friday, well, since summer started. Doing it wrong, apparently.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Thank you, Jessica and ita ! and tommyrot. I am elucidated.
As am I. Zenkitty and I are brainsharing today. (Zen, the song stuck in my head is "Steppin' Out With My Baby" as performed by Tony Bennett. Just in case you want to brainshare my earworm.)
brainshare my earworm
(Yes, I just quoted what I wrote one line above.) "Brainshare my earworm." I love the English language.
Also, our butter is stored in the fridge and is too hard to spread, so I melt the butter in the pan for grilled cheese.

I can't store butter on the counter, as it melts and goes bad. My kitchen is that warm.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Even if hackers had gotten into his online backup system like Carbonite, I'm pretty sure those files are stored for something like 30 days, so it would have been salvageable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I butter the top bread, but melt butter in the pan for the bottom one. Efficiency! And lots of butter.
Me too. And butter the inside of the bottom bread because more butter = more yum

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The best homemade grilled cheese I've made recently was on very thin white bread, and I'm pretty sure what was so good about it was the higher ratio of bread to butter. More like a restaurant.

Keep butter at room temp, butter the outside of both slices of bread, spicy brown mustard on the inside, pepper jack cheese and tomato. Boom. Perfect sandwich.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just suggested a secure worst case scenario mitigation to my manager, and she said "No, we'll do the more dangerous labour intensive thing instead." I'm awkwardly shuffling my feet at this point, and she asks "Why do it your way, with SFTP and fire IDs?" "To be safe?" "Mmmm," she replies.
That's not actually an answer! Your way is riskier, involves more work, and requires two people in a scenario which will likely be remote operation, so two people can't do it.
This is like last weekend when my boss was trying to convince me to leave stuff until the last minute on the most high profile project of the year. What is the benefit of that???? I don't want to!

Hello, Seattleistas! Your airport is large and full of coffee.
It is! I recommend going to the Dilettante stand for good coffee and chocolate.
