I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mmmm.....muffaletta....

I wish I had taken today off like half my office, it seems. But instead I will take the opportunity to do not much work, maybe catch up on work reading, and go for a long walk. Because fuck it!!!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Earlier this week I was planning on taking half of today off, but a bunch of stuff came in and I had an anxiety attack about not having something done my big boss asked for - so no. I am on a big zoom that only about 10% pertains to me (not that I have access to track even that part). Then I need to shower and head into the office and try to clear another stack of these $%^$^% things from the nemesis.

Punishingly Intricate

We're getting next Friday off to give folks a 4-day weekend, which is nice. A lot of us have unlimited PTO so the hours don't really matter but it's awesome for the hourly folks and good for everyone to get the "permission" to take time. Even if you can't go anywhere.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ooooh, I should make muffaletta bread!

I meant to say. Hawaiian rolls are my go to for my fakey turkey muffulettas.

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

So, like, muffaletta sliders, Matt? Needs must when the devil drives. That doesn't sound like a terrible idea, actually, although that soft sweet bread would sure be different.

That is nice, lisah. Gonna be weird to have so many days of May left after Memorial Day

Herding cats for fun

Really want to try a muffuletta. Then an oyster po'Boy. Those sounded so good when I read about them.

I could probably make a quasi-muffaletta out of the ciabatta rolls I'm making now, actually. I have ham, salami, provolone, and olives. Hmmmmm.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Glad to see that you're including olives. (waits for the anti-olive contingent to have their say)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

olive salad is different than olives!

just try brushing the bread with olive oil and you don't have to deal with actual olives!

I feel like I have more authority than usual, because I have made red beans and artichoke dip this week.
