BTW, still can't open my lunch. Made do with leftover Halloween candy.

Maybe running hot water over the top, -t? Like, that would make it expand just slightly?

Yay, sarameg! Enjoy your freedom!
TSA, I'm glaring at you
They were very nice to me this summer traveling with my expired license. She told me they wouldn't give me a hard time until it was expired a year. I was left thinking I must really look non-threatening.

Because books.
I think cold water might be better, -t. Although leftover Halloween candy also sounds good.
DMV has always been a nightmare for me. I still don't get how, in many many places in this country, driving can be considered a privilege anymore when there's minimal public transportation.

It's almost down to room temperature, now. It was pretty hot when it got stuck. Maybe if I heat it up the inside will pressurize, but then it will be too hot to hold on to and try to unscrew the lid (how I got into this pickle in the first place). I'm really surprised the seal is that good, it's just a plastic lid on a mason jar, but it seems to be.
The candy was tasty but not satisfying (Snickers lies!). I think I will pick up some takeout on the way home to make up for my trouble.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
-t, if you have one, you can use the tip of a bottle opener or something similar to pry the lid up just enough to let in some air, and then you can open it. I do this with pickle jars.

I don't have a bottle opener with me, although there might be one in the kitchen. I don't want to damage the lid, I use these lids all the time and losing one would be a hardship. If I can find a bottle opener I will attempt with great caution.
ETA: no luck. Found a can opener with a hook for bottles, but it doesn't fit under the lid

Timelies all!
Heading to Philcon after work tomorrow. Will pack after dinner.

Had a chat with someone today about a team I am considering joining, and now I'm more confident that I am qualified to apply for one of the open positions. I have some ideas on how to tweak my resume, too. I need to do that and schedule a follow up with hiring manager.
Maybe I will not have anxiety-induced insomnia tonight like I did last night.

Those sound like positive developments, shrift
