Eesh, msbelle, that is very uncool.

I am just glad at work because there was something due last week that I didn't do. Partly because I was on vacation and was hoping this other piece would be finished before I started mine. But partly (mostly) because I was lazy and procrastinating. I FINALLY managed to finish it (it was due last Monday)...and thankfully, the person who was supposed to be doing the other part screwed up that and a bunch of other things so my problem might end up the least of the issues. Fingers crossed (and it is finally submitted, at least--somehow it's much easier to make myself make any requested changes after review).

That said, the person who screwed things up left the company. Normally for a project, there is a manager above me, and s/he works with a project manager. For this one, there's no manager above me...and the project manager is the one that just left (was fired?) and was doing a terrible job. So now no one knows what's going on or what's still needing to be done, etc. UGH.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Going waay back- meara, it was indeed Kosher Mart(or, rather, Moti's which is how they've rebranded) where the frozen dinner was purchased. Along with kosher for Passover salad dressing, muffin mix and rolls.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, meara! Different ugh, msbelle!

I, OTOH, just won at CVS. My coupons lined up so that I got $40 worth of stuff for $17 PLUS $9 back in rewards! Awesome. I confess that it included a couple of things I didn't technically need, but was more than willing to get for free. (Battery-operated toothbrush and concealer, for what it's worth.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

uh oh meara, that sounds like a bit of a cluster

I am so bad at playing the CVS coupon game. Maybe I should give it a try some time.

Oh, man, meara! What a lot of not-knowingness.

I cannot bring myself to try for coupons. Even ones I get handed to me for things I buy all the time I somehow manage not to use. I am kind of in awe of stuff like that. It's wizardry.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Our Meijer does a thing where if you spend $X in a certain category in 4 weeks, you get $Y off your next trip. Like, spend $500 overall in 4 weeks, get $10 off. Or, spend $50 on pet products, get $5 off. We actually rack up a lot of discounts that way.

brillig

I use coupons, but a lot of them are "buy more things than you want, get an irrelevant amount of savings on each."

My smartphone (which I still consider "new," since I got it in February after 15 years of a dumbphone) offers to autocorrect "shit" to "shitsnacks."

I AM NOT JOKING.

It's that Pam costume.

It's still raining, woohoo! Even better, I am home and do not have to go out again until tomorrow morning!
