Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm having broccoli-cheddar soup and a turkey sandwich.

I don't know if our eval policy is that strict, but all the managers do get a stern "Not all of your employees are above expectations" email every year.

Yeah, my last job had a hardass line about how the expectations are so high, you're lucky to be meeting them, but below expectations was definitely reserved for Issues.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think I am having grilled shrimp salad for lunch.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have a bunch of broccoli, I should probably make soup. Too bad I can't do that at my desk...

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I had planned to: work on Dad's taxes, go to the gym, then go get Dad and take him out to lunch. Except his taxes are taking so long! SIGH. I was going to run this morning but it's been raining off and on all morning (yay) and I'm not in the mood to get soaked.

If I don't go to lunch with Dad, lunch will be leftover oatmeal risotto. And a visit to TJ's-- I stopped there last night and of course forgot to pick up the one or two things I really needed, like TEA. Argh. I must stock up on Irish Breakfast before I go back to work!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You know, in general I know that comparing yourself to others rarely works out, but it is so windy outside, I thought I'd check the map! [link] And New England looks like nothing compared to that central corridor. Yikes.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think my lunch is going to be split-pea soup and cheese melted on a corn tortilla. And maybe a banana.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It is quite windy here today, and as it's also recycling day, that's not working out too well.
