It would be kind of neat to have, say, groceries magically appear in my trunk while I was at work. But my car is not eligible so it's all moot to me.

People who are not librarians may not realize just how much patrons complain about staplers, but OH MY GOD do they complain.
Librarian stapler solidarity! Although it's less of a big issue in my public library; in academia it's YUGE.

That's really interesting about the staples!
Jessica, I didn't realize that was your new employer. I think it's an odd option but I can see how some people would like it I guess?? Still creepy.

Our wings are not tired.
Enough of my life has been spent scanning documents for paperless systems that I avoid staplers as much as possible. Dislike.

not your mom's socks.
Someone please distract my husband while I pick out colors for the walls. (My mother once asked what his favorite color was, because she was knitting a sweater. I replied, "Clown." He likes things . . . bright.)
this is... accurate.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In a previous job, I worked with engineers. Most of them, their favorite color was beige - the blander the better. One year, someone who'd taken a marketing course, said that red was the most attention-getting color ... but, for some reason, we ended up with pink. Kind of a strawberry ice cream pink ... they complained about it for YEARS. Three, if I remember correctly.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Back at the airport, this time at O'Hare, waiting to come home. Fighting off a migraine that wants to get started. (It's not really a migraine yet, just that feeling that something is poking at my right cheekbone. Hopefully the daith piercing and migraine meds will stomp it flat.) Considering getting the largest order of fries that McDonalds sells.
How many fries is too many fries? I don't believe the number exists.
The AMA always gives us branded swag, and this year's haul includes a fidget spinner. I shit you not. But also a snuggly fleece blanket, which is warm and awesome. Tim can have the fidget spinner.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Just got back from the first day of Malice Domestic. Much books.
We will not be able to see Infinity Wars until next weekend, at least. Hope I don't get spoiled by places I usually hang out online. The Avengers section of AO3 is already getting filled with fics that have spoilers.(What I get annoyed about is the writers who put spoilers in the summary. Not cool, folks.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
How many fries is too many fries? I don't believe the number exists.
Agreed.

Ann, that's a ferret.

When I was young, I spent a few summers working at McD's, including quite a bit of time at the fry station. I must respectfully disagree.
My senior year in high school, I worked at a McD's where the fry station was next to the drive-thru. The drive-thru crew never understood why I was happy to run orders into the parking lot during winter without a jacket.
