Plus there's often the comedic side effect of flatulence

Priorities.

I make veggie chili, so mine has two types of beans. More if I have them in the house.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've now spent $30 worth of my CFO's time arguing about a $30 expense she doesn't want to approve. Honestly.

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

Mmm, sloppy joe's.

I did successfully buy beans[pink] and rice[long-grain] (and cheese and sour cream) on the way to work this morning, so tonight there will be chili and I can experiment with garnishes.

Last Friday my boss sent out a note saying the ops orientation presentations would be happening yesterday and today. Last year I prepared this presentation but I never even practiced presenting it to anyone, so I figured the complete lack of notice meant I was not expected to present it this time either. This morning she swung by my desk and said I should come watch her present it, just to refamiliarize myself with it a little. So I went, and she does a little bit of intro, asks me if I want to go ahead and jump in and present, which, no, I don't really want to because the one thing I remember is that I had made notes about what to talk about but I don't remember where they are or how to see them, but she clicks to the first slide and, hey, there's my name, so I went ahead with it and it was fine and now that's done. Whee.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Nothing to be seen here. Move along.

Punishingly Intricate

He made a public joke about "shooting all of his coworkers" on Facebook and we suspended him without pay. His feeling was that we knew he was a comedian, so we should have ignored it. Our position was that we had to treat this the same way we would if any employee did it, otherwise the next person who posts a threat could say "Hey, Charles did it and nothing happened to him."

Yeah, I don't know how else you could have treated that. He sounds like a real winner.
