It is fierce, unceasing, and cold!

Reinforcing how much I like working from home, my first day back in the office wasn’t great. It rained on me both ways, so I was soaking wet. My coworker gave me an earful about how people ask too many questions when I was looking for conformation that I had the right desk, the mouse I brought didn’t work, my computer randomly shutdown midday and took about 15 minutes of work with it, and plus the general awkwardness of a first day, compounded by the fact that I have been working for the company for more than a year.

I stopped by Little Caesar’s on the way home.

A nice thing about my company is that they don’t require me to work in the office. I will try out a once weekly visit for six months and reevaluate.

Maybe the dude who has never had any children should keep his trap shut about the humanity that childrearing brings?

I’ve got a lot of opinions about raising children, but since I’ve not done that job, I keep my remarks to myself.

Just right here on this blog. And apparently the writer of the comic Sally Forth has also been reminiscing because the cat brought up the fact that PB Max needs to come back.

In googling, I found this copycat recipe.

I’m not sure who Patricia Johnston is, but she and Matt got a package today.

Number of times I’ve been asked if I’m changing my name: 4

Number of times Matt has been asked if he’s changing his name: 1

It’s the name of the beach house that MultCoLib employees can stay at. It’s also a greatly evocative word.

So evocative that some marketing company slapped it on their beverage. Harumph.

Here’s hoping it doesn’t become the next La Croix.

The pills on the right are the exact same pills as the ones on the left. But the pills on the right cost me more than $300, while the pills on the left cost me $60.

The pharmaceutical industry is causing real harm to the hard working people living in the United States. Healthcare (even for cats) is not affordable. And it could be. It very easily could be.

This roll of produce bags is the only one available to serve this entire section of produce. I do not understand why 1) there are so few bag stations and 2) why they can’t keep the damn things stocked with bags.

I ordered three boxes of tiny binder clips, along with other items. The binder clips lagged behind and rather than hold the entire order to come in one reasonably sized box, I got this large box, a catalog, and a bunch of plastic filler material. 

This is a tremendous waste. I’d like companies to be charged for over packaging in this manner. I’d like to be able to check a box indicating that my items don’t need to be in pristine shape. They just need to get to me.
