I'm not sure I could handle the pressure of an escape room.
I know I couldn't, which is why I'll never do one.
Right there with you.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'd love to do an escape room with my brother & his family.

In the last 3 weeks I've been involved in 5 separate meetings and volunteer situations for which my employer has provided pizza. Too bad I can't eat pizza. Tomato allergies and dairy sensitivity suck.

Oooh, bar with a live feed of the escape room sounds great!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I feel you, Aurelia. With added wheat sensitivity.
Also? I miss tomatoes. It's been years. They even smell dangerous now--alarm! alarm! goes off in my head when I smell cooking tomatoes. Peppers. Onions. But I would kill for two slices of white Wonder bread, a good dollop of mayo, salt, and paprika with sliced tomato. Well, I'd use harsh language.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Y'all -- on Ask A Manager, a boss who won't give her employee the annual birthday day off that everyone else gets because the employee was born on Feb 29 wrote back with an update! [link] Or not an update, but a continued assertion of the boss's rightness! It's the most bananapants thing!!

Jesse, I literally JUST commented on that post! (I'm SLB, who called the manager a lousy human being but also cheap and unfair. But seriously, time off IS part of an employee's total compensation package, so that employee is receiving less compensation than employees in a similar position whose mothers weren't silly enough to deliver on February 29. And that's some kind of bullshit.)

If they had this policy in my office, I guess I would get Jan 2 off every year, which would be amazing. Ridiculous, but great.

Dang. (a) what a weird policy and (b) how mean to be so literal!

True. I have taken off my birthday all of my life. It was a school holiday and I never went to school on that day, so I carried over the policy to my work life. I did go to work when I worked in Philadelphia because the office there had really great parties.
