I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

{{{tommyrot}}} It's good to see you, sorry about the job situation.

Is there a word for when you have to change your password and then keep putting the old one in because you are so used to it? There should be.

Oh, I need that word. Not clever enough today.

Some places specify Word .docs in their application process, but I don't know how prevalent that is. I'm remembering that it was places that would let you upload a resume but then ask you to fill in basically all the same information in their required form, so I hope that all of that is less common than it was.

Don't tell them about chicken salad, Connie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Don't tell them about chicken salad, Connie.

Or, you know, American sandwiches. They usually have mayo!

All the fast food chicken sandwiches, right?

Yeah, I don't know why the sudden outrage.

ANYWAY, I've met the lead electrician guy, and I thought he was American, but now I think maybe I just don't remember his accent, because what he's left in my kitchen are tea bags and evaporated milk. That's not an American, right??

He's from Newfoundland!!!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

One of my friends posted on FB that he tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich and failed miserably (the dude is almost 50, and I feel like that's a sandwich skill you learn well before that age). People were offering suggestions, and more than one person said to use mayo instead of butter. That sounds sketchy to me, but they said it was good. Has anyone tried that?

Wait--putting mayo on the outside and grilling it in that?

No.

Kat mentioned that being delicious at some point. Unless I dreamed that conversation. No reason why it shouldn't work just fine, it's spreadable oil. I can't remember if I've actually tried it or not - I do tend to try different approaches to grilled cheese but I don't often have mayo to hand.

Googling Buffy Blue Jacket images to figure out what to wear tomorrow (assuming I am not out sick again AND I'D BETTER NOT BE I HAVE THINGS TO DO [I don't know who I am yelling at, but I feel strongly about this] I'm starting to think that the jacket I bought actually reminds me of an action figure and not an actual scene from the show. Or misremembering the blue trench coat, but the action figure is pretty damn close to what I had in my head.
