yeah, I've worked in an Ivory Tower. Our little department was in the middle of several different political shenanigans and we had no authority to make people work with us, or any budget to do the things we were charged with. That was the job that had me so directionless, I live-streamed Big Brother Season 2 - 8 hours a day in the background of my work computer. Good Times. or not.
I know I am being premature about my interview tomorrow for an internal job, but I think it is my job to lose. I am way ahead of the horse on this, but I am already starting to miss my few good friends I have made at work here.
Sparky, would something like a themed potluck be possible? That way everyone who attends is responsible for bringing food, and the theme could be geared toward inexpensive alcoholic beverages (or non-alcoholic). Retirement party could go well with lawn furniture/tiki torches and cookout or clam bake style foods.
For you Cinncinnatti peeps- they are serving a "5-way" at my cafeteria, but here is what it is: 5 Way Blend - Carrots, Corn, Peas, Green Beans, Baby Lima Beans
have you seen the self-defense umbrella?
That is so John Steed!
One of my friends at Faire made a freshwater eel version a few years ago. It is even more disturbing and distressing in person, especially on a picnic table surrounded by bowls of food that are recognizably food and not the stuff of nightmares.
I'm not an eel fan, so yes, stuff of nightmares indeed.

Man, that sounds good!
BUT NOT A 5-WAY.
Which also sounds really good. I think I'm just ready for lunch.
So I just had some black tea (English Teatime) and the labels is marked "Gluten free." Are there teas that have gluten?
Well, I hope your horses and carts get themselves properly aligned and all those chickens hatch, msbelle.
I am so not on top of things this week I don't even know. I'm giving up on getting ahead and just going to work on keeping my head above water for the next little while, I think.
I have no retirement party ideas.
That sounds like the gluten-free beef jerky I saw. I suppose there could be a grain-based filler in the stuff, but I think it's more marketing stuff.
So I just had some black tea (English Teatime) and the labels is marked "Gluten free." Are there teas that have gluten?
I know there's a Celestial Seasonings holiday tea (maybe gingerbread flavor) that has gluten. It doesn't literally have gingerbread, of course, but for some reason the flavoring they use is barley-based. Weird.
But plain old tea leaves are kind of GF by default. Did the label also say "100% mayonnaise-free!"?
