07/25 - Taco Tuesday!

*tries to find the best way to articulate this without starting drama because I'm actually genuinely curious*

Granted, I know very little on each, but why does it seem that Scott Adams and his most famous work convey almost completely opposite messages? Late in life change of views, or have I been misinterpreting what little I've read of Dilbert?

 

Day job stuff today.

big on the garlic, garlic can fix anything I have to be careful with the peppers or Dave won't eat it

 

Yes and yes. I had heard of them, but didn't know quite what they were. I will try next time I go to grocer

Side note: I made fish n chips with some freshly caught mangrove snapper last night. I added thai chili flakes (which I add to everything anyways ha), garlic powder, and paprika. It was amazing.

 

No real horse in this race but I relate deeply to this particular Dilbert joke.

Oh that makes me sad lol. I've gotten to where stuff just tastes kind of... muted if there isn't some spiciness to it. I don't go overboard, you won't see me using ghost peppers or anything, but I have to buy jalapeno's at least once a week, and we go through a jar of cayenne every month lol. I made some Brown Sugar Jalapeno Peach Jelly last weekend that turned out very tasty!

 

I'm not sure anyone cares about or takes it seriously enough for Dilbert to cause drama lol.

 

I love the comics - you get an appreciation for it if you've ever worked for a large company. Really puts things into perspective. Never tried to watch the TV cartoon they made.

 

My Dad has sent that clip to me so many (too many?) times.

 

I make this joke every time Matt is taking apart random shit. This happens more often than you'd think necessary.

Engineers are just so darn cute, I can't help myself.

 

Oh I think it's funny, I've spent more than 20 years in a cubicle so I get it, I just can't imagine someone saying anything about that would actually upset me lol.

 

Okay that was close. Completed a survey, put in the code into MTurk, clicked submit, then the power went off for a minute.

I really need to invest in a UPS at some point.

perfect PE

 

That has happened a good bit this summer, we've had rolling blackouts all summer. We have a UPS at the GA farm, but not at this house. Moving soooooon.

The house we are renting in GA is mostly furnished and old folks used to live there so you can imagine the type of furniture around. But hey, washer/dryer and brand new bbq that was never used cause the kids bought it for their 80 year old dad LOL.
