Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

True Lime is excellent on popcorn.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think I have not tried that and ought to

Now, where can I get True Lime that isn’t Amazon? Because I suddenly feel like I should be sprinkling some on or in everything I consume

And the answer appears to be…Staples? Really? Huh.

In bizarre work news - our head of IT is leaving and the department is going to report to my grand boss?? WTF? I mean, IT used to be under HR so I guess having it run by Supply Chain isn’t much weirder than that, but it’s still pretty weird

In bizarre work news

That is odd, and seems stop-gap?

Also, I can get TurLime at the grocery store (I haven't looked at Aldi or Lidl, but at, like, Harris Teeter.)

Really? I haven't seen it on a shelf but maybe I have not looked on the right aisle

It's totally stop-gap but these stop-gap measures have a way of lasting for months and months

I've found it with the drink mixes -- like Mio, Crystal Liight and what have you. Now that I've said that, I'm sure I'll never see it there again, ha!

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I'm thinking that the auction I got outbid on(on a curio from a rescue for big cats) is too rich for my blood now. It's hard because I want the thing with the pawprints on it, and, although it may not seem like it, I do like to win. But I know I've overdone it in the past, too,getting caught up in that last-minute flurry thing.
