No lie, I've never heard of Cheese Whiz on a cheesesteak. I don't live in Philly, though, so maybe I've been sheltered.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I asked because I got a Philly for lunch today at an ancient local drive-in and contents of the sandwich included beef, melted cheese, a few flecks of onions and peppers, tomato, lettuce, and mayonnaise. Basically a Whopper on a really soggy bun that was falling apart. I thought it was an abomination, but then the bar & grill in Memphis where I took best friend for his birthday dinner had one on the menu with the same ingredients.
To me a Philly should be steak, cheese, grilled bell peppers, and onions if requested.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Other than tonic water for my G&Ts and the occasional seltzer, I have very little interest in soda water at all.
Me neither! But I thought La Croix was some kind of magical thing. It's fine.

In Philly, that would be called a cheesesteak hoagie. A steak with sub toppings on it.

Our wings are not tired.
La Croix is my favorite fizzy water, but any old fizzy water works for me. I love the stuff. I don't care for sweet drinks.

Correctly.

Steak, wiz, onions. Anything else is artisanal and not to be trusted.

Tomato, lettuce, and mayo on a "cheesesteak" isn't artisinal, it is an abomination!

Polar is the best and local to me.

I've never had this Polar Seltzer. If I ever see it in a store, I'll have to try it. Then I'll know whether I can trash talk Jesse's opinions.
I am on the way to the office. And wow, there is a bad wreck in front of me judging by the number of emergency vehicles.

Is this Monday?
Assistant messed up the references in a paper, asked me what to do. I said, compare it with the original manuscript and fix it. She said, we don't HAVE the original manuscript anymore, that's what she worked on.
WHAT
Are you fucking kidding me? She's been editing the submissions and not keeping a copy of the originals. I want to strangle her.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Good morning! I hate everyone.
