the suckage
My officemate of 3 years got "terminated" yesterday. There is so much going on in this situation that is beyond me to report at this moment, it is a very complicated one. But right now, I feel for my friend. I feel terrible. Sadness, confusion, anger, fear for the future, more sadness ( Read more... ) -
We're so awesome we're OUT
UGH.
Our whole executive staff is leaving. They keep making these announcements through email, without giving anyone a chance to ask any questions (except through email). It's kind of making me mad.

Terribly excited about cooking
I'm not sure whether a beast was awoken by the cherry-extravaganza or I was just fed up of being overfed and not being able to cook (on the cruise), but when our LPO box arrived Friday HOLY CRAP I am excited about what's it in!
