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

I would have had to guess on that, tbh

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, I would have had to guess too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's not been a good HQ week for me -- I went out on Marvel day because I got too far from the wifi in my apartment.

Looks like we are not getting let go early today, I hear there is flooding on I-80 in town (although I think it is slowing-down-traffic flooding, not underwater-cars flooding), and I REALLY don't want to start anything new but have 2 hours left of work and not nearly that much stuff that needs to be done today to keep me busy.

Oh god, I'm so grateful we got let out at 2:30. I almost didn't make it that far!

And now my pumpkin cheesecake bars are in the oven.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

(I don't know that I've ever seen a Buffista Bread Kerfuffle)!

I feel like starting a Bread Kerfuffle, but that's just because I'm spitting mad after reading about the tech bros taking over sourdough bread baking. [link]

My favorite quote is

These tech bros, who often unknowingly operate in closed-loop communities where men elevate men (a phenomenon that is in no way limited to the tech industry), were able to insert themselves, through an outward posturing as experts, into the dominant narrative of the bread world.

Because in this year of 2018, it takes a special kind of dense to not know that you're operating in a closed-loop community like that.

bUT - in other news, would someone with more tech experience than I be willing to help me on a (customer support) job application? One of the questions is about APIs, and I don't seem to be looking at it correctly.

I skimmed that link a little, juliana, and that was enough to piss me off. Ugh. It seems like everything I hate messing up something I love.

Just googled API and I'm guessing I can't help you, but I could try.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'm not sure you can start a kerfuffle with that, Juliana, since I doubt any of us will disagree with your stance.

Thank you, -t. I'll see if I can get everything lined up in an email, since the question is using the company's links.

Epic, I don't think we can kerfuffle over the article, but we could kerfuffle over proper ways to bake, knead, proof, etc. Or, To Add Things or To Not Add Things?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Sparky!
