I just had the best bagel I've ever had in my life! I've only ever had grocery store bagels or Einstein Bagels, but a new shop opened up nearby that claims to make New York style bagels. DH thinks they're very close, I've never had one so I wouldn't know. But OMG it was SO GOOD (salt bagel with scallion cream cheese!). And this is BAD because it's so close to my house we'll be going there all the time now. I've never had a bagel before that wasn't practically flavored bread shaped in a circle.

There is NOTHING like a good bagel. Grocery store bagels, Dunkin Donuts bagels, and Einstein bagels do not count and should not be allowed to represent themselves as such. I think Manhattan Bagels are actually pretty close, and will do in a pinch.
Note to self: pick up bagels while in NJ this weekend.
Ruh-roh, 2t. Is anything hurt besides the door and your pride?
Thankfully, no. I was rushing and I thought the jeep was in neutral but it wasn't. It went forward and it seemed to take my brain forever to tell my feet to hit the breaks. Stupid, stupid mistake. The mechanics of the door were already broken so we were going to need a new one, I just moved the purchase up by a few months.
I am currently like a little kid praying for Icemageddon so that we are shut the fuck down on Friday. These people are on my nerves today. Well more like everyday. Sigh,

A company here pays for ad space on the local channel. Okay, fine, but it's so annoying. There's this loud beep, and the first time I heard it, I thought the Emergency Alert System was coming on. No, it's the stupid company and their phone number showing up on their screen, during regular shows. Who thought that was a good idea?
Also, I'm tired of trifling ass people who cannot pick up after their dog. It's not hard people.

We just had an authentic bagel shop open here. It's fantastic. The owner treats the water used to make and boil the bagels so that it has the same pH and mineral content as NYC water.
My brother's wedding is next weekend (yes,on Pi day). The 10 day forecast on my phone app shows Friday with a wintry mix all day changing to snow at night. I can hope that this forecast is true so the wicked witch of SC (aka my mom) gets stuck someplace charming like Newark and we don't have to deal with her, right?

There is a new "breast cancer awareness" meme circling on Fb. Avoid the status that say they used boobs to get out of a speeding ticket, used a sock for tp, are pregnant, or are moving to Mexico. Because you know, breast cancer.

Someone in my office throws their newspaper out in the trash can instead of the recycling bin RIGHT NEXT TO IT. If I see it, I'll take it out and put it in the right place and think about what pixy0stix would do if she saw that go down.
I just paid taxes for the first time ever. Last year our refund was HUGE so we adjusted. This year we owe. Not a lot, a couple hundred dollars, but I wasn't expecting it.
I'm putting together a training manual for a new employee starting on Monday. Part of it needs to be in sheet protectors, and I don't have enough of the same style to have them all match. I'm not sure my OCD can handle this, but I don't have time to go get more before Monday.
The Director of our division is retiring. I'm a bit sad since she's nice and really understood her job. The Director before her came in and really fucked things up, and we're still trying to put things together.
ANYWAY, word on the street is that my old crazy boss is going to apply for the position. I may just fucking quit if she gets it. I don't think she will, because she burned a LOT of bridges when she left, but you never know.
