I made that Alton Brown mac & cheese tonight.

I can understand the contract and writing exercises, but...a logic test?? Like, what kind of questions and we talking? So weird

No idea, but apparently everyone who works for the company takes it.

I wish our customers had to take a test on basic logical thinking.

I'd love to see a lot more basic logic in the world in general.

I'm so paralyzed by the new tech question, I think I'll just put it off as no real imperative is in play. Though, I appreciate the encouragement that moving away from Apple will be horrible.

In truth though, when I worked for a solidly PC based software company, I was the only one in the office with an apple. I made the excuse that I needed it for graphics...which was true...but I just feel like that language has always been easier for me to use on a daily basis.

This, coming from the person on staff who actually wrote the English portions of the tech manuals!

eta: MAN, Freudian slip-o-rama. My subconscious just does not want to believe that moving away from Apple WON'T be horrible. Heh. My wool is dyed, yo.

No Golden Globes talk? I am late to the show and expected to be able to catch up on dresses and faux pas here.

Sorry. I'm drinking pear cider and watching hockey, eh.

Eh, there will be pictures tomorrow and the best clips will be on YouTube.

Suzi, I just found this gigongulous all-the-dresses slideshow: [link]

Whole lot of safe and nondescript and a couple of seriously fugly dresses, but also some serious pretty, and a couple of folks looking about as good as they ever have.

Awards - all I want is for Ralph Fiennes to win for Grand Budapest Hotel. If he loses to Bill Murray, that'd be tolerable, but losing to anyone else is Unacceptable.

eta: #30 in that slideshow, Felicity Jones, is my absolute favorite by far. Ruth Wilson's is unusual and very striking. Katherine Heigl's dress looks like the skirt is on backward.

sarameg, sorry about your sadz. I totally get it.

dcp, I laugh at your and your book selling/buying, because...I know that pain.

Jesse and Pix, I printed out the grocery list and, though I am tweaking some things slightly, I'm going to try it starting the 16th or 17th! Because, payday.

Jessica, Vortex, if you need an eye on writing samples, etc., feel free to ping me!

I oneroused AND relaxed today! We had a showing this AM, and we have TWO clients who are showing real interest. Thank you Jebus and Buddha and all. I went to yoga, and then I edited, wrote and did a ton of laundry, dusted blinds and baseboards, and spray painted an ugly stepstool we keep in the kitchen. Oh, and learned how to cut a pineapple, so now I have FRUIT! YAY FRUIT.

I also painted my nails a lovely muted silver glitter, and my toes a muted gold glitter.

And spot-mopped and Swiffered before the showing.

A friend gave me a box o' pink moscato, and I am now having a glass of wine. and putzing about on the intertubes.

Wow, TMI. I R Boring.

Just got to my hotel room and put on the golden globes. Juliana Margulies looks awful. And I can't tell if George is wearing weird makeup or the light is hitting him funny or what.
