Steph, your "friend" wouldn't need to deal with her drip pans if I destroy the world. Because I am prepared to do that today.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I once worked with a woman who lined her entire oven and stovetop with aluminum foil because she could not bear to have one drip on the stove, and her teenage sons lived with her.
If you have one of those modern, new fangled, electric ovens where the heating element is inside the walls of the oven rather than hanging out where they can be seen (and dripped on), do NOT line your oven with foil. It will mess up the oven. That happened at one of the houses I work at.

That *would* eliminate the need to clean the drip pans.
I approve.

Thrive to spite them
I'm usually buy new ones, but in the past I've soaked them and then used something to scrub them clean. I think once they were still kind of nasty and I was doing the Fly Lady sink cleaning thing (fill it with water and bleach and let sit) so I threw the drip pans in there too. Probably defeated some ofthe purpose of cleaning the sink but that seemed to work.
You shouldn't use foil INSIDE the oven, it messes with the way the heat is conducted.

Boss just called an un scheduled meeting. That's never good, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Usually not. Although there is this new management school of thought that says it's good for bosses to randomly give all their employees fudge....

I may have to seize the cat.
For offices with crazy fluorescent lights, they make these... Film-like? Covers you can put between the bulb and the cover. They come in different colors and patterns. A coffee shop near here has some space-themed ones that are very pretty.

In my office, I face the wall of windows that looks out over the valley. It contributes to the glare, but I'm not giving up that view.

Layoffs, including the only non-writer person on our team. I almost want to fling myself on the sword and tell them to let me go instead.
