Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also, yes, today is the uber-Monday.

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

Jeesh, Maria, yeah that sounds tiring!

Jaw still swollen but okay. I more than halfway wanted to call in sick today, but also figure that if this level of "sick" constitutes unable to work-ness, will I ever be well enough to come in? So here I am. Plus side, easier access to crushed ice at work than at home, so I can always have a fresh ice pack when I need one and not rely on the spinach not thawing out.

My mom used to make tuna casserole using those dried chow mein noodles, eliminating the boil pasta step. The inside ones would get noodly and the ones near the top maintained their crunch.

We used to have a thing like that made with pork (from I Hate to Cook) and my memories of it are of me making it, but Mom must have made it before that because I picked it as a dish I would learn to cook because I liked to eat it.

I have traditionally made tuna salad with no mayo, just mustard. Because I like mustard. A lot.

It turns out that when you spend a weekend doing nothing but adulting, you want to stab everyone in the face on Monday morning.

This may be the truthiest statement in the history of truthiness.

I was just emailed a photo of someone's computer screen, along with the question of if the document I sent her was a Word doc or a PDF.

Wow, that's kind of neat.

AWESOME.

People are out sick and the moon has gone into foo. I'm just going to do what I can and try not to cry.

This person should pick one and take a picture of what happens!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

That makes me want to stabinate. All. The. Things.

I'm probably not going to kill everyone.

I'll be your alibi if you'll be mine?

spaghetti with canned tuna in olive oil in a tomato sauce.

For us, it's a cold rice salad with tomatoes, potatoes, canned tuna in olive oil (or Simmenthal), marinated vegetables, eggs, onion, and peas. The longer it sits in the refrigerator, the better it tastes.

I was with Maria all day, Your Honor.

I was with shrift. We were nowhere near IL or PA at the time in question. I swear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In her (very slight) defense, the photo of the screen was about a separate issue than what format the document is. BUT STILL. This is already my stupidest project ever.

Punishingly Intricate

What is Simmenthal?

I am a great hero who has not succumbed to the powerful urge to nap (yet). However, I've not accomplished anything I want to get done today.
