I'm seriously thinking cheap Chinese takeout for Christmas
This is the Christmas tradition of our close friends...who are Jewish.

bourbon chocolate pecan pie is the bestest best
I made this for Thanksgiving! It was delicious.
Definitely pajama day on Christmas (my sister's family gets all of us matching pjs, and they are supposedly coming in the mail one of these days), we talked last night about Chinese take-out being a good option, so that's looking likely. But I might make that pie again for Christmas. And maybe the reddit apple cream pie again, too. Or my mom's lemon icebox pie. So many possibilities! ETA: or... PIEsibilities.

I ruint the roasted Brussels sprouts at Thanksgiving, and they haven't been popular so I need another green dish. JZ doesn't like green beans though. Ponder...
Minted peas? With pearl onions, or maybe red pepper strips for color?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
or maybe red pepper strips for color?
It's definitely about adding color and other textures to the plate.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The first year we were in this house we tried to get Chinese takeout for Xmas but couldn't find anywhere open! That was the same year menorah candles were so hard to find. Solano county, man.

I have had multiple people tell me that if something is properly developed under agile you won't need technical writing because you won't need a manual.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Because my company sells software to city/county/state gov. agencies, no one dares say that. Every now and then a pillar lead (big boss of whatever feature division) will ask "Can we put this in tool tips or some sort of hover help?", and as one the dev team and I laugh bitterly and say "That is a beautiful dream. Budget?"
At least I've gotten my feature team trained to instinctively ask me for help with anything in the UX that needs a label or string.

I love how many of us are in tech docs.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Niiiiice.
My current place doesn't even have context-sensitive help, but I've got enough to do right now that I'm just fine with it.

A couple of days ago I sent a question to support in our IT dept about a feature in our ERP and the answer was "Per the Help screen..." and I realized that was the help desk equivalent of "here let me Google that for you" and then I realized I hadn't even done a help ticket to ask my question and I AM THE WORST...but at least now I know?
