Work is work, move on.

yrmencynWell. Mandi wasn't able to make it to work today, due to her car trying to kill itself, so I had a lot more interesting work than I usually do. It was made more interesting by the fact that Antoinette swept in immediately after she canceled the early morning meeting (that made a lot of people happy) and turned the pod upside down like an avenging wind. I think in the long run it means less work for Mandi and for me, but it was quite confusing to try and figure out what in the bleeding fuck was going on today: where is this? what is that? is this the stack that used to be over there? no? well what happened to that stack? Still, we got it all dealt with. I got things picked up and processed (and made sense of the carnage leftover from the Great Upheaval), Angel and Sharon jointly dealt with no-finds and add-ons.
The day wasn't too crazed, really, once I managed to make sense of what the world was doing. The only truly weird part was, of all things, lunch. I had brought my lunch, as I often do, and it consisted of a Spanish tortilla (thick potato and onion omelet) and pa amb tomàquet (Spanish tomato bread). The tortilla I just ate, but the tomato bread has to be constructed on site. The simplest version of it, which I was doing, is to take a half-tomato and rub it all over the bread, thus soaking it with tomato juice. Mmm. So I prepared this morning by halving a tomato and bringing it along with some ciabatta bread. I do the tomato thing, and I get these looks from Tanis and Antoinette like I have grown another head. I then had to listen to "Woo, he's not from Louisiana!" and "Guess what he did!" for the next 20 minutes. I get it. I eat things that aren't traditional American fare. I know. Now shut up, because you're making me annoyed and ruining my very bloody tasty and healthy simultaneously lunch. Meh. Next week I'm going to bring in... I dunno. Anchovy-onion salad. Pickled mackerel. Leche frita. Some sort of fucked-up calamari ceviche, little tentacles everywhere. Best random comment of the whole affair? "Our condiments come in jars here!" Brava, Tanis. Brava.
On the plus side, I was told I could probably work just a half-day Friday, which means I won't have to get up at 4:30 and drive to Austin! I can just drive there Friday afternoon and get to see the family for a longer time without being road-drunk.

Mmm, unseen heads!
I now have an urge to make a comment about how this would make two heads of yours that I had never seen.
