Soup, Sandwich and CS3

See that in the background?  That's a totally legit copy of CS3.  It has a valid license that's been paid for and everything.  The only reason it's sitting there is because I can't install it on my machine.  It keeps telling me that my license isn't valid.  Sure the license is eons old, but it's still fucking valid!  Dammit, Adobe!

After ages of trying to install it, I've given up.  Kinda like the way I've given up on Silvia.  See Chartreuse Mug, there?  You know what was in it?  An allongé made with the QA manager's Nespresso machine.  You know why?  Because I came into work, wanted a coffee and didn't want to putz around with Silvia for 10 minutes just to have her make me a mild-tasting, lukewarn coffee.  I would normally make my instant coffee, but I'm all out of Xmas Bleuch and I keep forgetting the marginally-better Colombian at home.  So I popped by the QA manager's office, made myself a really good coffee -- complete with proper crema! -- in about 30seconds.  There.

 

For lunch I had a tasty tuna salad sandwich with avocado instead of mayo, and a hearty bean soup that I really didn't like because it was full of separated skins.

Hello, It's Tea Again

I keep thinking that that Todd Rundgren song, "Hello It's Me", is actually "Hello, It's Me Again". I don't know why. I even checked the lyrics and nowhere in the song does he say "again".  Maybe I secretly think that he's been calling this chick up all the time to discuss whatever problem they're having -- which appears to be either that he's in denial about being in a relationship, or she thinks she needs to see other people and he's like, what?...I'm not sure.  It's probably some 1970s-open-relationship-shag-carpet problem.

Anyways.

I'm at home drinking peppermint tea, which means I'm under the weather. But I'm still working, dammit! I keep writing a rewriting this doc to the point where it's stopped making sense. But that might be the Tylenol speaking.

Everything tastes better in cute cups.

However, I am getting a chance to use the new Ritzenhoff My Lian Dieter Braun teacups Spousal Unit got me for Xmas. They don't appear to be available in Canada, so I'm going to assume they cost him a lot. He probably shouldn't have spent that much money on cups, even if they are The Cutest. And they are somewhat matchy with my Ketto Design mug, which has apparently been discontinued (things you find out when looking for a gift for someone). Today my mug held a cup of Starbucks Via Columbian, which is marginally better than Xmas Bleuch.
