This Routine System Rollover ... Isn't
I had to stay "just a little past six" to double-check the effects of swapping to a new webserver, which we had been testing.
There was one thing we couldn't really test until it was in place. And that isn't working.
Sooooo ... they're still messing around with it. I am tired. And increasingly hungry. And oyceter has a thread going about comfort foods ... !!!! > drool ... <

(That post made me very, very hungry, too...and that was BEFORE everyone started chiming in)

Yeah, I hate that. Lately, my stepmum and I have been satisfying our gourmet urges by keeping a handy supply of brie and crackers in the house.

Overtime? I'm a professional ("overtime-exempt") employee, my good woman ... that means that if the job happens to require overtime - I work it. End of story.
If it's going to happen a lot, and you know ahead of time, you can arrange for "comp time," which you can store up for a while and use like annual leave. But you have to know about it ahead of time ... .

For me that would be Manchego and crackers, or maybe Wensleydale with cranberries, and crackers. Brie has that funny white stuff on it ... .
At the moment, I'd be glad to see any food that I could actually make myself swallow, frankly! No liver, nothing totally totally grease-soaked - but I'd even be happy with a vending machine sandwich at this point.

I actually eat around the funny white stuff; my stepmum likes it (something about the texture...I dunno).

It's a Spanish cheese I first had at a tapas restaurant (do they have tapas up by you? Basically, you make a meal by ordering a bunch of little appetizer things ...). It's a firm, very pale yellow cheese with a strong, slightly tart classic cheese taste - rather like cheddar, but not as fatty or rich-tasting. It's very good with apples. (In fact, that's how I had it - as a salad with matchsticks of cheese and apple.

Come visit - we'll go for tapas ... my treat.
(BTW, I may actually try to write the story you suggested ... it will be pretty sad ... .)

(That would be so ridiculously awesome, please do. Even if it's sad...)

I have somehow managed to miss all those movies! We actually went to try to see one once, and it turned out it hadn't opened yet at that theater ... . It's hard to get good Wensleydale - it doesn't seem to store very well, and the last few times I've tried to buy it, it no longer had that fresh-milk taste to it. But the cranberry version, which has a less subtle flavor, seems to tolerate that aging better.

(I'll try! I'd want to have something actually happen - I don't get into those character-portrait fics where you just spend some time inside the person's head but nothing much happens.)

Well, of course, right after I said that, I thought of an insider-the-character's-head one I'd meant to do a while back, about this guy (icon), Shigure from Fruits Basket, because he is an extremely conflicted person, and I get tired of people constantly going Arrrrgh! He's such a creep! and not taking a look at the situation from his point of view.

Aw, poor Shigure! He can't help it! Imagine being a romantically-inclined 27-year-old man - with no outlet for it! I'm just surprised he's not even weirder than he is! (We won't even get into the sort of things that I imagine he and Ayame got up to in their youth ... .)

Well, Furuba is only up to like vol. 18 - that's not much, comparatively! But we have some pretty appalling (or perhaps amazing, depending on your viewpoint) revelations in the previous volume - about the gentleman in question, in particular.
Yeah, my old favorite manga, Samurai Deeper Kyo (which I was just squeeing over) will eventually go to 38 volumes. Only a dozen more to go! (I've actually read most of the remaining volumes in scanslations, but a couple are missing because the translator was not so interested in them, so there are a few places where I'm not sure how the characters got from point X to point Y ... .)
