In re salads and quinoa - I like to cut up some marinated artichoke hearts and add them to my salads. Adds a nice taste (and the next bite or two will taste sweet).
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Marinated artichokes seem like such a decadent and luxurious treat to me. Yum.

Happy birthday Trudy!
Roommate discovered today she was exposed to a COVID positive person, so she started quarantine in her room few hours ago. I very much hope that she won't get sick, and that the two days that passed from exposure to discovery haven't exposed me to COVID as well (if, God forbid, she has it). I don't need to quarantine myself but I really wanted to see my parents before lockdown starts (and because holidays), and now I'm thinking that it might not be a good idea, even in "only in open air, with masks" policy I have.

It is far too early to have a Zoom meeting at 7 AM.

already had my weekly staff mtg - queen of bad specific instructions (big boss) and queen of never giving a timeline (my boss) - converged to let me know project I was given last week should be to the next phase by now and I should be doing more on it than I thought - gotcha - THANKS!
So I must remember to ask my boss - "when do you want this done?" at every interaction.
Big Boss is just a communication nightmare at the moment, so I am just keeping my distance. I clearly ruffled feathers yesterday by daring to ask the straightforward questions that made clear that other people above us has not asked ANY questions and so they did not really know what was needed or why. How dare I question being asked to do double work that may not even be needed.
also, I am in a foul mood, did I mention that?
FUCK THE WORLD!

Ugh, msbelle. Fie on your bosses
Irish coffee sounds really good right now. I guess my instant pumpkin spice latte will have to do (I did regret buying it when I realized there were only 4 packets in the box, but it is pretty tasty)
