You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Well, he was born in California, but he went to Germany when he was 3 days old, so maybe . . .

ION, my instant miso soup is very disappointing. Very fishy. Is miso supposed to be fishy at all?

Cass has me drooling for Hatch Valley Salsa. I will look for that at our TJ's. Oh what a joy to finally have that option!

Fishy miso does not sound nice at all.

The reconstituted tofu wasn't bad, but the broth is getting dumped. I think I'm going to have to go get good miso tomorrow as penance.

It's not that I think my coworkers are incompetent , just some have higher learning curves to climb and are a little slower to climb and a little less adventurous) It's mostly that looking at the schedule and everything that needs to be done, there can't be a single setback without consequences, and having inexperienced people doing the setup for the first time? Is fraught. And we just lost another coworker for at least a week due to the death of his father. And he was one of the experienced ones, too.

Not gonna start packing until this load of laundry finishes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I went to a work happy hour, which was fun, except I spilled half of my second (SECOND) beer all over two of my favorite coworkers! So then I was cut off. Ooops.

Jesse's a cheap date, pass it on.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

So am I! Except not really, in which I'll order more than I can eat* and wind up with a doggie bag, which isn't terribly sexy or romantic, but also great for my budget!

*appetizers only, and then I'm done.

I don't know what the hell was going on. One of those coworkers had already spilled her wine over the table. It's been a rough fall at my job!

Same here, Juliebird. By the time I've had an appetizer, or even a bit of bread and salad, I am done. At most a few bites of food and the rest goes home. If I don't have anything but dinner I know my limits and just divide it in half when I get the plate so I will have an even amount for the next meal.

Hm, I have a work happy hour planned for tomorrow. I'll be extra vigilant about spillage, I guess.
