We got new official/standard email .sigs at work. They are huge. I guess I will get used to that.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
A fair amount has happened of late. TCBITW is engaged so there's that. I've been moved to what they call the architecture team at work which is a promotion of sorts. And we got an Instant Pot. I'm not saying all these things are of equal importance.
AN INSTANT POT?!?!?!?!?!
Seriously though, congratulations on TCBITW's engagement and your promotion!

Congratulations! That's very exciting.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
...email .sigs at work. They are huge....
Lots of advisory/disclaiming text, or big graphics?

Graphics, I guess. There's a block of information about me + corporate wedbite address and then our corporate logo and then our mission statement (or something similar) and then all our brands - the logo and brands are graphics, I think. It all stacks up to basically fill the mini-window gmail gives me to compose email in if I scroll down to the bottom.
When I could make my own I think I had 4 lines of text and that included my pronouns.

Wow, congratulations, Gud - on the promotion and the engagement! (Also, we love our Instant Pot)
Speaking of our IP, I need to go make something happen with it right about now...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats, Gud.
Yay for vaccinations!

What is even happening?
TCBITW is engaged so there's that.
Congrats and best wishes to them, Gud.
I get vaccine #1 in about an hour!
Any additional new superpowers yet, Teppy?

ION, I was watching a cooking video with Carla from BA and now I desperately want a Brocco Taco and you will too after you see this video
I do want a Brocco Taco, and I'm wondering if I can achieve similar results without buying a grill press or whatever it's called that she's using. Ooh, and I could use the hatch chile corn tortillas that I have!
For dinner, though, I've already planned to make refried beans from pinto beans and put a bean burrito in my face.
I'm not saying all these things are of equal importance.
I LOLed.

Is intolerance to spicy food a superpower? I'm eating leftover shrimp biryani (that was a bit too spicy to begin with, but cooled down with raita on it) that seems to have gotten WAY spicier in the fridge. Or possibly I have become even more intolerant of spicy food in the last 8 hours. Dang it, Moderna!
So far, no side effects, though I didn't really expect any this early. (I have read about some people developing side effects within a few hours, but that's more on the outer edge of the bell curve.)
