My dad toasts buns all the time. Usually on the grill, though.

Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I toast everything, myself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Buns should be toasted whenever possible.

I second -t's opinion on buns.
So my friend L referred a professional placement firm to me, which is nice, although I don't know if I convinced them I'm a good fit for the position they're hoping to fill. Damn this economy: a quasi-generalist is not, apparently, competitive for these positions where all they want is utility experience. Argh.

My next article is on macular degeneration. No pictures. I feel a little cheated.
Think how cheated the people with macular degeneration feel.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't tend to make sandwiches on buns at home, but usually toasted (or grilled) is a good idea for them.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If billytea, for one, can't come up with some completely amazing and elegant haiku based on an obscure anatomical feature the rest of us have completely overlooked or never knew existed, I shall eat my hat.
Heh. I'm supposed to be working, you know. I doubt these will help your friend, but perhaps it will spare your hat:

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Since I worked a twelve hour day yesterday, I informed the boss that I wouldn't be in until 11. Set my alarm, but for pm, oops, so I was late anyway. Then left at 4:15 for PT, but apparently the appointment was for 6, not 5. Luckily there was a cancellation and they fit me anyway (same thing on Monday, except nobody told me I showed up an hour early).
ION, thankfully, at staff meeting the ED explicitly mentioned how it was my department's job to remove snow, and I clarified that even if certain paths would be marked "closed" during inclement weather, we still needed to clear them, to protect against the Stupid.
I'm still waiting for boss lady to come up with inclement weather policy, but my own new personal policy is to let her make her own mistakes, and not suggest anything lest I usurp her authority. And I mean this in regards to when I'm on vacation or the weekends. It has been made clear that outlining her job for her is offensive (by the ED, bless that asshole)(even though she's from California and has no common sense when it comes to snow). It's a whole new ballgame.
