"Electriclighting" doesn't have the same ring, somehow.

I am the person who the intern pokes on Slack when there's an obscure abbreviation to be defined.

It turns out that the phrase "putting the old knowledge base articles into the Helldesk software" is best accompanied by painful-looking gestures.

Purple's Windows update took an hour.

The new person at the work cafeteria taqueria is getting better at rolling burritos. Today's effort looked sort of like a blunt, complete with holes at top and bottom. I folded over the more foldable-looking end. Purple laughed at me.

Somehow the topic of https://web.archive.org/web/20061205081603/http://www.brownplasticpackagingtapemonster.com/story.shtml came up. (Well, I know how: via me telling Purple that if the thought of something makes him giggle for that long, he's not allowed to do it.) And then he got to the idea of putting brown plastic packaging tape down in a human shower to prank someone. I suggested that the lights would have to be pretty dim to allow that one to happen. He suggested replacing all the bulbs in someone's house with lights 1/4 the illumination. I pointed out that this would be more nearly literally than usual gaslighting. Both of us are reprehensible and think we're very funny. (We would not do these things. I feel that a good prank is harmless, and gaslighting is harmful.)

I had been craving cinnamon rolls last night. It is hard to come by just one cinnamon roll. Much easier to just get a grocery store tray and then share with the team. "The disc of evil", as my manager called it.

It has cooled down, so sleep will be easier to come by.

Perhaps the ability to get only one cinnamon bun explains the popularity of Cinnabon?

The local 7-11 has single-serving microwaveable Cinnabon chunks. Luckily for my waistline, I don't actually like Cinnabons.
