But wait, there's more! Maybe I can rant about how my sour cream goes off quickly and someone else can talk about upside-down containers! :-D

Try the one in a squeeze tube.

I know, but maybe they should.

Now someone will tell us there is such a thing.

I lost one of my compression socks. I think my cat might've taken off with it.

This discussion brings to mind the time Scotty and I had to deal with a breach in the containment field of the pasta/antipasta reaction chamber. Not a pretty sight...

I'll do it! There certainly is. We use the one from Daisy.

Pretty sure that happened. My cat takes off with mine as well. Must be a thing.

This has not been our week. This morning my father woke up with a slightly sore throat. He was able to book an appointment for a test at 1pm, he did the quicker test, and six hours later he logged onto the website and saw that his test result was negative.

Another tense day.

He's a snorer, and it occasionally causes a sore throat. But wanted to be sure.

I'm glad you both tested negative!

Not only is it a thing, but the packaging seems to keep it fresher and it doesn't separate as much. Cost more for a dollop than the regular Daisy, though, and the packaging doesn't seem to have made it to the cheaper store brands yet.

I was cooking somehting in my microwave oven and it made a bang and now it won't work anymore. There was no metal in it.

I ripped one of mine a while ago, so I have a spare I can let you have!

We had a 4 hour power failure today. When the power came back our water pressure was very low. We have a well with a pressurized tank and a water filter. I suspect it's the water filter, since the pressure builds up over time and the filter is overdue to be changed. (I prefer to do that job when everyone else is out for the afternoon and I can work undisturbed, with no one accidentally trying to flush a toilet. This past year we haven't really had any of those afternoons, and then it slipped my mind.)

I found the filters and the scrub brushes for the inside of the housing ... but the filter wrench is missing in action. It was probably neatened out of the way when we had some other work done in that corner of the basement.

Anyway, I'll have to get to Home Depot in the morning -- and then hope that it really is the filter.

I am fairly sure that childproof caps were invented by an evil demon.

An evil demon with a nasty sense of humor.

Same rant, different day. Team leads that want to micromanage from the comfort of their home. It's hard to build that relationship when you're never in the office but the rest of the team is. I've been there 6 months. I can still count on my fingers and toes how many times you've been in the office. And have a few left over.

Then there's the back hallway that has ears and reports on your every move. Yeah, that's real conducive to helping out your coworkers. Remind me to never ask you a simple question again since you seem to have a hotline to the absent micromanager.
