Passover Coke really should not be a big deal down here, because with very little work I should be able to get Coke bottled in Mexico with sugar not corn syrup. And then there is always just buying Jones, or really just not drinking cola. The world has lost all of its magic. now I am forlorn.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am continually surprised at how often the best way to manage adults is to treat them like toddlers.
Better that than 12 year olds.

They sell this in my Target.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
If you get your sugared Coke fix by mixing syrup with soda water you get from pressing a penguin's beak, it's pretty magical. FYI.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, seriously do not get me started about how people act in the bathroom at work. And I am one of the shy/slow bladder people! (Especially if I wait too long, it just take me a while to go.) But the people who don't wash their hands! Or just pass them under the water and think that's washing? Or who don't flush properly! (Seriously, just turn around to see if it worked.) Or who want to have a work conversation with me in the stall! NO.

I have one co-worker who asks me every. damn. year. what my family is doing for Christmas, despite my answer having been, for the past 8 years, "We're Jewish."
I'm sure some Jews have traditional things they to on Christmas, but it's not the same as celebrating Christmas. It's just not our holiday.
I may be taking my kids to an egg hunt at the park on Saturday, but I wouldn't call that celebrating Easter.

I have now suggested we go for Ethiopian on Sunday. Fingers crossed the parents go for it. I am craving it.
Maybe I should make some fakey Ethiopia salad tonight and thaw out some injera. OMG now I am starving.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never celebrated a religious holiday if that involves believing or observing attached religious rituals/observances barring sitting where I was put in school, and for non-godly ones like Thanksgiving and the fourth of July if an egg hunt isn't celebrating Easter I haven't celebrated those either because I don't do much actual thanking or cherishing the independence of the US. I just eat the food and look at the sparkly things in the sky which are no more or less pretty than the Montreal multi-day fireworks festival or any other ad-hocish display of celestial pyrotechnics. I've never kissed anyone on New Year's, etc, etc...basically just motions more than anything else, I guess. But people can still ask.
Oh, and I absolutely pointedly deliberately never wear green on St Patrick's Day, or tell lies on the first of April.
Seriously, just turn around to see if it worked.
!!!! Suppose someone walks past you into the stall. Do you want to be that person? I don't give a fuck if you flush three times before I can get at the stall, but if there's a mess when I go in I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU IN THE CONTEXT OF EFFLUVIA. Thanks. People who walk out past you when you're washing your hands make me wonder too--even if for some reason you didn't do the do, you touched enough stuff, that...are you going straight to the kitchen??? Yikes!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Bathroom etiquette:
I have a weird situation here at work. I have an office on a floor with about 12 offices. At the end of one hall is a bathroom for M & W. The bathrooms are one person bathrooms where you lock the door when you go in, but it has a separate stall for the one toilet.
Anyway, periodically when I go in the bathroom, the faucet is running. This is not an infrequent occurrence. We do not have timers on the faucets.
I talked to the secretary about this and they noticed it too! Why the fuck would you leave a faucet running in the bathroom intentionally? I don't understand it. I am thinking about mocking up a sign asking people to please turn off the faucet, laminating it and putting it above the sink.
Too much?

Not too much!

If nothing else, seriously consider taking the chance of being in a room with sinks to wash your hands just because? I mean, you've been touching doors and shit (if not literally) all day! Wash your goddamn hands, people.
