I read this as more grippy socks for Pleiades, so that's how my day is going.

I have plenty of grippy socks, of course.

(My day has been going "looking at PRs, looking at the Jira that is associated with the PR, rejecting the PR because it didn't do what the Jira said, and hearing Alex Horne say, "All of the information is on the task." in my head.)

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

This is a fun time to be working in Supply Chain analysis, as you might guess, especially with some but not all of our factories in China. But aside from that, I am starting to think that maybe Oracle software kind of sucks? It could be that our implementation is just bad, I suppose.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just did my taxes finally, and reallllly hesitated before putting in my bank account info, and I already regret it.

Okay, super tasty, high-protein, high-fiber lunch that's low on the starchy carbs: (1) large can of chicken, (2) can of diced tomatoes, (3) can of pinto beans, (4) tiny can of corn. Mix in bowl. Season how you like. Makes at least 4 servings by itself (or 3 if you're starving). Or you could throw it on some rice or a salad or whatever. So fucking good.

Steph, do you cook this at all or no?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Steph, do you cook this at all or no?

I didn't, but there's no reason you couldn't. Since the canned chicken is fully cooked, I was too lazy to heat it up. If I had it over rice, I would heat it up.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ltc just told me that a boy in her class was rating the girls beauty on a scale of 1-5. He needs a girlfriend who’s a 5 and wanted to make sure ltc knew she was only a 3 and that her friend was only a 1. WTF 8 year old boy?!? I am so filled with rage right now.

Thank you for all reacting that strongly because I wanted to make sure I wasn’t overreacting. I have already sent an email with the specifics to her teacher, who is absolutely lovely, so hopefully the situation will be dealt with.
