Surviving another 2nd Thursday

More bits!

Woke up in a timely manner. Got dressed in a timely fashion. Left promptly, with all the stuff I needed (minus breakfast).

I have been listening to podcasts when my commute doesn't line up particularly well with my phonefriends' schedules. This morning was no exception.

I got into the area early enough to hit up the store, and I retrieved those little frosted brownies. Owing to the upcoming holiday, they were frosted in either pink swirls or red rosebuds. (I also located some hugs & kisses for the gluten-free members of the audience.) So there was chocolate for the early fucking morning meeting.

Purple had said the previous night that I had spoiled him for the second handkerchief of FEED, because he looked at the character lineup and saw only one viable candidate for my mourning, so he was somewhat braced for it.

(And then when the sour cherries are big enough...)

Any explanation for the candy named "sour cherry balls" that starts with a mental search for the name of the profession that is to fruits as a veterinarian is to animals, does not need to be made in the workplace.

This near miss interaction involving my candy dish was with the Stage Manager. My brain went there, but fortunately wiser minds prevailed before it got out my mouth. "My brain is in the state right now where all of its contributions involving the name of the candy are unhelpful."
