I'm trying to write up notes from a conference call that took place last Thursday. A lot of it didn't make sense anyway (I didn't have the info they kept referring to, although I could find it later) and I was bored out of my mind. That, and with the intervening time and drama, and I'm finding myself even more bored. This is one thing in my job that I really hate ... it's boring, it's tedious, but it saves my boss being bogged down with it.

We had country ribs last night and I had accidentally taken too much out so today I chopped them up, added onions, carrots and celery and the country ribs to the crock pot, threw in some shisito peppers because I need to finish those up, seasoned it with some cumin, paprika, bay leaf, thyme, oregano and a few other things and let it cook away. I didn't trim the fat enough so I had to add some things, added a little Worcestershire , a bit of red wine vinegar, and I've just turned it to warm and threw in some cilantro and green onions while the rice cooks. I thought of the rice after I threw in the cilantro and green onions otherwise I would have waited.

Tastes pretty nice. Needs some corn bread but we are out of milk.

Timelies all!

I've been home today and yesterday.(My on days this week are Thursday and Friday) We've had the nanny in for a few hours both days since Gary had a webinar yesterday and some conference calls today, and I have work to do.(Mostly data editing, but it's something to do.) Still tired.

Yikes, Theo. I'm sorry to hear you have some cases. Please take care of yourself!

My niece asked if I wanted something from teh good local grocery store, so I asked for organic cheese curls, apples, and spreadable butter. I'm such a fucking snowflake.

My weekly food delivery order is on its way. 8 substitutions for those playing along at home. I can't get any ground pork or ground meatloaf mix to make a bolognese.

got some reports from a few people so for we have a virthual reference team and other people will be weeding at branches they don't normally work at ...and some people have gotten calls with no info but thier team leader

and in other news I can find the probe part of my thermometer , but not the actual probe. Things keep dissapearing ...

Please observe how valiantly I am not pouring myself a glass of the wine I needed to open to cook the lamb, because Work.

Most impressive. Of course it is now past 5 here, so I say go for it. Also, {{{-t}}

Side-note: what is the point of fat-free Half & Half? Shouldn't it just be called Half?

I did not know such a silly thing existed! Much ~ma for your residents Theo. It's a real plus to get the regular testing.

I went to the grocery store! First time in weeks. I'd say 70% of people ignored the one way signs in aisles. Grrr.

This reminds me I need to add thermometer to my spam list. Seriously, the number of emails I get.
