'War Stories'
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.
I'm having shrimp and grits for lunch, and I feel like I need to explain to someone that it is not Shrimp and Grits, it's just grits that I have topped with "barbecue" shrimp, Tasty, but I'm fairly sure not what Nora, for example, would expect.
I'm very pleased to have figured out a successful grits making strategy, btw. It is not something I have had in my skill set.
Maybe you mean grits with shrimp?
Dying on endless conference call.
Plus side: It's about an investor pitch where the investors are hot to trot, which means I'd get back pay for all the months of unpaid work I've done on this thing.
So...that's worth it.
I was pseudo dieting over the weekend, but I don't think missing meals due to sleeping in has much of a net effect.
Steph, I would advise you to save the e-mail chain for the inevitable questions from the Editor-in-Chief. (For what it's worth, I tend to run into the opposite situation where my counterpart in Print Coordination raises questions about making major changes after something has been approved as is by the EiC or the Big Boss. She's technically the last set of eyes to look at outgoing products, but I wish she'd do a thorough review pass BEFORE it goes to the bigwigs instead of just rubber stamping at that point so she could raise these issues before things are approved as final.)
I just got my diet back to vaguely healthsome after the post-election eating of feelings. Salad actually tasted really good last night. OK, the bacon crumbles probably helped. Still--salad.
Bacon has protein. Maybe not the healthiest source of protein, but at least not empty calories. And better than most of what I've been eating lately.

I save all my work emails because I'm paranoid.
Only the eating-my-feelings diet.
Eating-my-feelings high five!
Though, for the record, I did buy Brussels sprouts yesterday. So I could roast them and put bacon on them.
I have been totally surgeried. Local hasn't worn off yet.
