'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm sorry, Gud. That's rough. And I'm sorry for your kids, that sounds pretty bad for them, too.
I'm thinking of going to a Mardi Gras event at a localish winery. They say "Authentic New Orleans Cuisine" on their flyer, but some of that appears to be "Apricot Chipotle Meatball Porboys" which, don't get me wrong, I would eat but....Um.
They say "Authentic New Orleans Cuisine"
It's a trap! Don't make me tell the story of the red beans again.
Oh, do I remember this? No rice? Soup?
So, this new birthday celebration system where the department has a cake for everyone who had a birthday in that month so no one is left out apparently means that since I am the only one with a February birthday in the department I get no cake until March. The end of March. I do not find this satisfactory.
The soup one was the time my mother ordered jambalaya. And they asked if she wanted rice with it, because it was basically a soup.
The red beans was when I ordered it and they asked me if I wanted cheese and onions on top.

NO BEANS??? t edit x-post!
Oh, dear. I think I blocked that out but I kinda remember now.
Hey, Jesse, you know how we were talking about how short weeks were subjectively longer than 5-day weeks because of teh concentrated workload? I am not finding the converse to be true this week. Just so you know.
Booooo. My own week is actually feeling OK, but apparently the Casual Friday email was so long ago (possibly Monday or Tuesday) that I forgot about it by the time today came.
(But winter + airplane + formal event = THREE SHOE TYPES)
That's just objectively true, and sometimes you do need more shoes than days.
Your focus has plenty to deal with between a new job and having children. I'd focus on the things where you can have success and be appreciated. Clearly the wife is never going to be either satisfied or appreciated so put that at the bottom of the list.
What Laura said!

That is bullshit. Monthly cake should be monthly cake!!

Total bullshit! Unacceptable. You should get your own February cake on your day and not have to share.

TELL THEM THE BUFFISTAS WANT YOU TO HAVE YOUR CAKE IN FEBRUARY
Oh, no, I don't want them knowing about you! That would be terrible.
