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

Pro tip: closing the previous year on the same day as the holiday party when the office will be locked at 4pm and everyone has to be out by then is not a good way to reduce stress.

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

Timelies all!

Long weekend here. No particular plans, aside from trying to keep Mr. S from causing too much chaos. (I know, good luck with that.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Reasons to lock the door: my mother's dinner guests just walked into my apartment. Good times.

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

wilting some kale in beer and mmmm it smells so good. not sure if the flavor will actually come through, so I put the roasted beets in the ban while there is still some liquid and maybe the will soak up some of the flavor.

This will be wilted kale, with the roasted beets cut up, all tossed with some feta and a vinaigrette with some capers thrown in.

Coding and Sleeping

My work software - the software I do all my work on - not only works only in IE, it only works in an OLDER VERSION of IE.

I am so sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The experimental pear and bergamot marmalade crumble is about to come out of the oven. Wish us luck.

Dinner tonight was interesting, I ate alligator for the first time in years (decent, but the crawfish etoufee I'd intended to order would have been better) and sat next to a bunch of Australians who'd traveled here on a job and were excited to order blackened chicken. Chicken's not an unusual food in Australia, is it?

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

Thank you, Gud. *heavy sigh*

Matt, maybe it's the "blackened" part that's novel?

Reached out to a colleague I've been friendly with for help on the hiring stuff. I suspect we'd be friends if I were more extroverted & we both preferred less to distance our jobs and lives. Anyway, gives me good feels. I've got 41 candidates, maybe 15 pass first muster, maybe. But I need an outside voice & some guidance. She'll help.

What is this, old dead home month? Beloved professor dies, people come outta the woodwork(including me) then I find old college best friend's ex-girlfriend committed suicide, she really needs to talk it out with me, as I'm one of the few privvy to the Kate episodes, her first big love. Though we haven't spoken but fb in 15 yrs. Is what it is. At least I'm a better listener than I was back then.

And of course, ita.

I'm examining shit I let go of 20 years ago. Is weird.
