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.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

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

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

Let me be a lesson to you!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

No happy hour here, just wiped. I barely managed not to stir a pot with one of the cat's insulin syringes (capped, but it was in my hand when I reached for the saucepan....)

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

It used to take me forever to figure out where downloaded things "went"(It sort of helps that Firefox has a folder for them, but nobody really explained it cause I used to have somebody just "Let me do that!" and now he's gone. I've learned a lot, considering, but my math problems are not a great loss to women in STEM.
