Happy Birthday erikaj!
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Y'all. Starting this week, here in Chicago we can now get Trader Joe's delivered.
Do you know which TJ's in Chicago will be doing this?
Lately I've been rather disappointed with the TJs on Lincoln Ave, so I'm really glad the one in Evanston is finally open. Plus it's much closer to me.
Have a wonderful birthday, Bunk!
OK, phew. The client department has long been unhappy with my department, I am more or less fine, and my boss told them what's what, even though they don't want to hear it.
I had kielbasa with peppers and grilled broccoli for lunch. I dropped some of it in my lap. I don't recommend that part.
Happy birthday, erika!
My sister and her GF are getting married on my sister's birthday, Sept. 30. Since there's no marriage equality in Wisconsin they're tying the knot in Dubuque.
Someone tell me what I want for lunch.
Falafel pita and babaganoush.
Tres weird. I decided to get in my Christmas hols request before new boss, just to see if it can be taken care of, and buy the ticket home, because better sooner than later, and it's clearly not sooner, AGAIN. Will create tickler to buy ticket home no later than August next year, since the cheapest I could find has a business class leg in it (which is nice, but not economical, really).
I decided to pick Economy Comfort seats for the other three legs because I'm grumpy and just pay the extra money, because fuck it.
Zero additional cost for bulkhead all the way through...both trips are 13 hours or shorter...BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL CHECKED BAGS ON THE WAY BACK and that is unduly incensing.
The human brain is just determined to be pissy about something. Well, mine is.
Oh, Dad. I get an email from him, subject line: CALL ME ASAP PLEASE, and my heart starts pounding.
The problem? He forgot to thaw out chicken breasts like Mom asked him to, so he needs one of us to go get some and bring them to him before she gets home from work (and she has the car). SO HE WON'T GET IN TROUBLE.
I told him I thought it was a REAL emergency, and he said in that case he wouldn't have said "please".
DAD.
