I make veggie chili, so mine has two types of beans. More if I have them in the house.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

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.

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.

Goodness, Scrappy! I don't know how to respond to that. What a thing!
I forgot to pull meat for chili out of the freezer this morning. I think I can magically thaw it in time to be able to eat tonight....
