Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

That's dreadful, Calli.

As I understand it, you feed things like snails and clams cornmeal so that they expel the grit and assorted disgusting things they've been eating and fill up on nice, clean edible cornmeal. The imported snails are a scourge, but an excellent way to eat butter and garlic.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Jilli, I shall. Teppy, I think we should send the main box to you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Teppy, I think we should send the main box to you.

Sounds good to me! Jesse, can you wait until I can assemble an uber-box?

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

Sounds right, Ginger.

Timely, Connie!

I am so frustrated with one of our sibling departments right now. They have access to all the same information I do, I have redundantly sent them the relevant information at least twice over the last week and outright asked them to double check the accuracy of a particular document and they still sent it out wrong. Twice. And after the customer stated deadline (which she said in Eastern time because she is in Eastern time, but THAT WAS CLEAR). Argh. Do not blame this one on the customer being difficult, boss of both of us.

ION, my chicken and egg salad from several days ago is delicious today. Yum.

Our wings are not tired

The list of stuff that I need to get done is epic, and I keep working through it and then more things get added. It's all part of owning a business that is currently being successful, but wow am I tired and having issues keeping on this treadmill.

Okay, I really need to finish this spreadsheet tallying the total value of the business equipment assets so that I can get it over to the bank.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I have Too Much To Do, but have accidentally fallen into an Etsy-style Rabbit Hole. Thought of you, Teppy...

Cute.

I broke my report. I would much rather curl up in a ball and cry than fix it, at least for a little while. That would, I suppose, be unprofessional.

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

I'm sorry Calli, how awful

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sounds good to me! Jesse, can you wait until I can assemble an uber-box?

Of course! But if we're re-starting the original box, I guess we should re-start the original list?

And because the tone difference was too jarring for one post: OMG adorbs to see -t shake her pom poms at meara!

People, pear season is upon us! It is one of my favorite things about fall. I am really really trying to consciously eat better, less refined sugar, way less meat, lots more fruits and vegetables. Has anyone tried the Greens and Beans and Grains thing at TJs? I find it tasty.
