May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

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

My vending machines are not reliable, but sometimes there's a piroshki and that is always to be celebrated.

I CAN hear the electromagnetic resonance!

So can I! The buzzing of the fluorescent lights above my desk counts, right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This morning, MIL sent us a "humorous" anti-climate change video. It's not actually funny, with a side dish of racism for fun.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There's a vending machine out there that only dispenses freshly made pecan pies and tarts.

Proof of God's benevolence.

Conversely, there's a vending machine in Japan that dispenses worn women's underwear for pervs.

Proof that Satan has a busy international schedule.

Now I'm kinda sad I didn't make use of the cupcake vending machine when I had the chance

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, I can't even get M&Ms out of our vending machine half the time.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My office's vending machine is out of order ... and had a limited choice of sodas when it was working. It also had a tendency to eat money without giving a soda.

To clarify, the cupcake vending machine was not in my office. That would be amazing.

Coding and Sleeping

So can I! The buzzing of the fluorescent lights above my desk counts, right?

I replaced the fluorescent tubes in our basement with LED tubes, partly because the buzzing was so loud. No more buzzing, but the is now BRIGHT.
