They really should have known that going in. Imagining these guys suddenly saying to themselves "I did not sign up for espionage" is pretty fun

I hate the way the word jammy is used in cooking and recipe talk. I don't know why it bothers me so much. Jammy eggs, jammy tomatoes. Totally irrational, but it makes me roll my eyes every damn time.

Does it not mean "like jam"?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

What in the hell are jammy eggs? They'd better not be eggs with literal jam.

Jam-like eggs does not make me feel any better.

Our wings are not tired.

Never heard of jammy eggs. Apparently it just means soft boiled.

The consistency of the yolk is like jam? No?

Correct. Not runny but thicker like jam.

Most eggs in Ramen are cooked to be jammy.

You are not alone! Something about it just makes me cringe.

Looks like the Scheduler fucked us but good

Unless they change something we won’t make our Sunday flight. This shit stresses me out so much.

It’s hard enough doing this when things go smoothly. And there is no fucking reason the couldn’t have given us the earlier time.

And we’ve explained this to the doctor and study coordinator.

But now I’ve got this cascading series of consequences that makes everything so much harder. It’ll be so exhausting for Jacqueline.

I’m furious and I have to find a better tone when we talk to the doctor and coordinator.
