Coding and Sleeping

I listen to a couple of Fox News podcasts to help balance out my podcast politics listening. It's kinda nauseating to have some of the people on there equating BLM to Neo-Nazis and blaming the media for, well, everything.

I realize I'm listening to opinion shows, not news shows, but I checked out the Fox News website and...

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Ugh, just realized I've worked 15 days straight through without a break on my current project, including a 14-hour day yesterday. I'm definitely getting too old for this kind of pace, not bouncing back from a double shift quickly like I could in my 30s.

I used to do this during busy conference seasons and once I got past 14 days, I started going insane.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sophia, no bread at all or no gluten?

If no bread at all, no grains - I would have to go for just cheese covered latkes.

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

Same nomenclature as lisah re: grilled vs toasted. I am also partial to a sandwich made with toasted bread and cold cheese although I don't have a name for it (most often made because I generally keep sliced bread in the freezer and toasting it is the quickest way to make it edible but sometimes that particular flavour profile is just What I Want Now.

Can you do rice cakes or corn tortillas or anything vaguely bread-like, Sophia? I'm mostly just curious with a healthy doe of wanting to try to come up with a grilled cheese sandwich facsimile for you, feel free to ignore me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes. That would make me nuts.

That is WAY too much work. I don't think I've ever been able to do that. I mean, I've worked those hours, but it was terrible and not good quality work and I sure didn't bounce back well.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Ugh, just realized I've worked 15 days straight through without a break on my current project, including a 14-hour day yesterday.

I did that for almost a month, two jobs ago, when I was in my 30s. Never again.

I can see where that would be depressing, Gud. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure Fox News is no longer considered a "news" channel. Its CEO said they're not looking to compete with other news channels, but with TNT and ESPN. It's entertainment for ultra conservatives. I'm working on an online course with, among others, Bill Adair, the Politifact guy. He suggests the Weekly Standard for a conservative perspective. [link]

I had a year when I was working two jobs and taking classes at Marquette and UW Milwaukee where I had Christmas Day with neither work nor school. Full stop.

Since Sophia mentioned keto bread, I'm betting she can't do potatoes, either. Otherwise the cheese-covered latkes would be a great suggestion, and I'd make them for dinner.

I know I found a recipe for keto bread that said it works well for grilled cheese sandwiches, but I haven't made it yet. I'll see if I can dig up the link.
