My two week staycation is going well. Had lunch at Kat'z Deli today because why the Hell not? A giant corned beef sandwich and a beer later, I can barely move.
can you feel the struggle within?

Yesterday I came into school and found the principal's offices entirely coated in aluminum foil. Every piece of furniture and pictures, everything.
The correct thing to do in that situation is to act like absolutely nothing is out of the ordinary. You come in, hang your coat on your aluminum coat rack, sit down in your aluminum chair, and start typing on your aluminum computer
I had to enlist the help of 3 other people, and it took some time (mostly of me working alone), but in preparation for a coworkers birthday, we packed up his entire office and locked it all away in a storage closet.
We then filled his cubicle with a bunch of balloons.
Outside of his office I have a pin stuck to his wall, holding up a note that reads
"The key to the closet with all of your supplies is inside one of these balloons. Good luck."
Inside most balloons are a couple of coins so he can't rely on weight and noise.
I am currently waiting on him to come into work.
I'm surprised the key is actually in one of the balloons.

I am 120% terrified of balloons popping so if I came into work and saw that I'd probably have a panic attack.

Scissors work for this. Cut the base, hold onto it, make fart noises or launch balloon missiles at people.

Americans, are you guys familiar with Don's Group Attire? I'm ordering some new shirts and their website confuses me. Do I email the shirts I want to my HR department? Can I tie the payments to my paychecks and space them out over how ever many weeks are necessary?
Also how do you get sweat stains out of whites? My own mother doesn't know.

Sweat stains are actually caused by the aluminium in deodorant/antiperspirant products. I've heard good things about aspirin.
Crush 4 tablets into a powder, mix in a cup of warm water, soak the stained part of the tshirt in it for 2-3 hours, wash as normal. Lemons and vinegar can work too, depending on how thick it is.

There's like a million "home remedies" out there that work with varying degrees of effectiveness (like a soak in Dawn and ammonia is a popular one), but the only one I've found to be effective is OxyClean, which is sort of a double-edged sword because it can kind of hard on fabric. Like bowen said, it's actually the aluminum in your deodorant that causes it. I know there's aluminum-free antiperspirants out there, but don't have any experience or recommendations there.
Heh, my project lead wanted to throw me a big going away party (bringing delicious smoked meats and such) this Thursday but they wouldn't let him because they don't do that for everyone... Now it's called "fall fest".

I really need to move in so I can get a smoker.

That reminds me, i need to update my meat guide with a rib making bit!
Speaking of ribs, I guess it's kind of frowned upon to use a mustard and season it among big BBQers. We don't have a smoker so we have to do it in the oven. Is there any reason not to marinate it in mustard before hand? @Thegreatcow

Ehhh not really. I mainly use mustard as a binding agent for the dried seasonings to adhere and also add a bit of flavor as the meat smokes, you don't necessarily have to add it, but it does help with lots of dry rubs.
Hardest thing to do - remember that I'm no longer the person who implements everything.
Planning and vision stuff is a lot of fun but I keep thinking 'okay and now I dive into the tools and do it' but instead I have a bunch of people who are doing that and who want to do it.
@Thegreatcow I just noticed the link in your signature and now I'm probably doing those chicken bacon ranch balls for the office potluck next Wednesday and it's all because you mentioned those Costco chicken bakes. For the chicken breasts, do they need to already be cooked or raw? Because I can grab two whole roasted chickens and use those if it's the former.

They can be raw, just chopped down to smaller bits. Actually using cooked chicken would be a better idea now that i think about it. That way you can cook the balls faster with faster batch transition. I'd cut the cook time in half if you're using cooked chicken. just make sure it's minced/cubed/shredded whatever and try that. Sounds delicious! :biggrin:
Thanks for the tips, I'll grab those ingredients before the weekend and have at it. Do they taste fine cold or should I reheat them at said potluck?
They're edible cold, but you may want to cut them up into sections as they become quite dense when they get cold (all dat cheese), personally I'd see if there was a way to warm them up at your potluck as they are definitely better gooey warm than cold. Make sure to have some dipping sauces too. Some hot sauce/ranch/bbq sauce are good choices.
Heard about a job opening in town, but would need to get a resume written up in like 5 hours from now to have a shot at getting it. It would be a NICE salary hike.
I probably don't have a chance in hell, and I like where I am except for some bullshit I won't get into, but dammit, if I don't try I'm gonna be mad at myself.

You've reached the golden land. You just say things and they happen. And you sit and drink martinis and tell everyone what a good job you've done.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
but they're listening to every word I say

See that's what I thought. IT tends to taste a little bit more flavorful. We don't tend to use dry rubs anymore, just a mustard rub with some salt and pepper and the ribs turn out pretty good. We do add a BBQ sauce in the last hour of cooking though. (slather in BBQ ever 15 minutes, 3 minute broil after the hour).

Yup I find it really binds smoke flavor really well and just makes sure the seasonings just stick to the meat instead of falling off as it cooks.
"So can I get actual confirmation that you're OK with me going on the christmas holiday I booked before I applied for this job and mentioned at the interview even though the interviewer didn't seem to care much or ask about any dates, and I have asked about on 5 seperate occasions since starting here plus outright asking for written confirmation today"
situation at my new job isn't going to turn into a "OK so like I told you a bunch of times, I am going on holiday over christmas. Do you want me to come back afterwards?" situation
Or go down to HR and wait until someone physically reviews your time off.

Argh.
Crazy, super high-maintenence, exec has her assistant email the service desk. Basically; she's traveling, is coming back for a few days, and then heading to India. She wants her laptop to "have a diagnostic test done" before she goes.
If we say no, and something happens with her laptop, it's because you wouldn't check it.
If we say yes, and something happens with her laptop, it's because you did something to it when you checked it.
Argh.

I really love how every time I manage to somehow lose cash at work it's always a £20 note. Never a fucking fiver.
Always awesome to not get any petrol money after driving around for 9 hours.

EDIT I've used oxygen for other stains before but I did not want to buy it, been sticking to Kroger brand detergents, sometimes Tide.

QFC, it's owned by Kroger but they don't have Kroger grocery stores here.
