All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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

In other news, I just ran into a former coworker on the street, and I know I know her, but still have basically no idea who she is! Good times.

Being mildly face blind means I *never* recognize people out of context. So I try to be vaguely polite to everyone and hope there's a clue in the conversation before it becomes embarrassing.

I'll assert that while a club sandwich is structurally complicated when compared to other sandwiches, it is also a longstanding member of sandwich canon and should not be difficult to order or execute in either Spanish or English.

I concur. I think we can probably reach actual consensus on this and censure the offending restaurant accordingly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, I guess being vaguely polite to everyone is a good outcome of what sounds like a pretty stressful thing?

YES.

Speaking of food, I have plenty of time to go home after work before choir, but no food in the house, so I guess I'll go out. Maybe I'll have a club sandwich! Or un sándwich club, en español. Unless my mother offers to cook for me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe I'll have a club sandwich!

Oooh, living dangerously!

Maybe you'll order a club sandwich - who knows what you'll get!?

Ooh, I kinda want to play Club Sandwich Roulette now

My mom and a friend of hers in high school both were near-sighted and basically couldn't recognize people more than an arm's length or so away. Her friend didn't want to smile at anyone in case they turned out to be someone she didn't know, while my mom did smile at everyone in case they were someone she wanted to smile at. We heard about this a fair amount over the years.

And ordering a club sandwich from Mel's was a good proof-of-concept of my damn Apple Pay working. Maybe I can actually pay H&R Block and file my taxes now!

ETA nope. Sigh.

Sometimes a club sandwich is just a club sandwich
