guys, seriously? total cooking fail day.
lesson: always check that you have a pan big enough to cook a turkey in.
also….the plastic trussing. do i take it off? i mean, it makes sense to take it off, cause will it melt in the oven?
but sometimes those pop-up thermometers are plasticy. and i’m gonna need to truss it myself if i take it off.
fuuuuck!
help?
Sometimes you just have to accept that your cookies are not turning out correctly, and just make a GingerSnapPerson instead.
Conversations with the kiddos
- Nephew: Auntie Erin, I had such a bad day at school today. I had to do something in front of the entire class and I messed up like FIVE times.
- Auntie E: Don't worry! We all mess up sometimes. Its hard when its in front of your classmates, but everyone does it.
- Nephew: Okay. When did you mess up in front of everyone?
- Auntie E: This one time, {redacted}, and I was really embarrassed.
- Nephew: Wow, Auntie Erin, you musta felt like a pretty big idiot.
or i'm just delusional from cold medicine
after yesterday’s drama, today has been full of much more comforting words.
“why dont you go home and get some rest.”
“deferment approved.”
“package out for delivery.”
In situations like this, its all about the combo of healing substances.
The candy bar ranks high in this group.
a touchy subject
I’m having an uncomfortable day. Maybe you could help.
We have a lot of mentally challenged people come in. Normally there’s no issue, but today I felt really kind of awful and uncomfortable. It could be because I’m sick and already feeling a little bad.
This guy comes up to the desk and tries to get me to tell him what is in a picture. A really inappropriate picture. While rubbing himself. And yelling at me to tell him what was happening.
And then laughing at me.
I’m the only one at the desk and it was such an uncomfortable situation. I dont know why it made me want to cry. And I don’t know what do to. I mean, how much do you just kind of let go?
Please note: Despite all my bitching, I really like my job. And almost all the people who come in here.
