XKCD weighs in on sourdough...
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I emailed one of my cousins a few days ago -- he's 95 years old, and lives in an independent living facility in Portland -- and I haven't heard back yet. I'm starting to get worried. (I've got his son's email address, though I don't really know his son too well, so if he doesn't reply in another few days, I'll email his son, I guess.)

I hope he's ok and just missed your email or something, Hil.
My boss asked for my self-assessment which, to be fair, was due to her middle of March. I didn't do it because I was overwhelmed with work and did not care about my annual review. I am now even more overwhelmed with work and care even less. So that's fun.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I have been reliably informed that you can just sift the weevils out.
That may or may not* have happened to a certain Trudy and her college roommate and a box of cake mix resulting in a very flat yet still tasty (and possibly protein enhanced) cake.
- "May not" in that it could have been some other bug - what did I know from weevils? We definitely went ahead with that cake.

I'm supposed to have my monthly "career growth plan" meeting with my boss this week. Is "staying minimally productive while hanging onto my last shred of sanity" a valid career goal?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Jessica, no less valid than "not get yelled at while navigating these last months before retirement."

Good one, Jessica, I may have to steal

Jealous of your goal, Fred!! Jessica i think in these trying times that is a perfectly cromulent goal!
The weather has returned to our usual gray after a week of beauty. And my mood has cratered. Every day is the same. All things are boring. Big bowl of whyyyyyyy
