Putting on makeup in public; specifically thought of refreshing lipstick at the table in a restaurant while waiting for the check.

You have to roll forward and reconcile the fixed assets every month or you will spend days catching up at year end, invariably finding a prior period issue that has to be corrected in the current period.

I was warned, but trusted the system too much - it can't regulate human error, no matter how many controls are in place!

And then leave it in the front of the parking spot, where you can't see it until you've committed to pulling in. Forcing you to back out, gesturing towards the windshield to communicate to the guy that was waiting for you to pull all the way in (who now has to stop to let you out and know you'll beat him to another spot since you're in front) that some jackass left a cart in the spot and it's not your fault!!

If there are three legs, and one is a different height, the table won't wobble but the top will be slanted. Probably still not ideal at a coffee shop, but at least it won't move!

Sometimes I think the highest regarded dishes are about the way they look rather than the process, execution, or the taste. The more I learn to cook, the more I appreciate the nuance of each step!

We are in the same boat, however, I wanted you to know that your positivity changed my perspective and I left this post feeling happy for everyone who can properly celebrate this holiday, rather than bitter that I cannot.

Thank you! 💜

Now someone is... checks notes... "Taking the piss" which either means giving us yanks shit or genuinely confused about how we could be confused... I think?

I'm a Damned Yankee that used to just be a Yankee working for a company headquartered in Scotland & Alabama for ten years. I don't know anymore!

Very good! The cookie itself was pillowy and the lemon tartness was mild. Rather than plopping from a spoon I quickly rolled them into 1/2" balls.

The slight sweetness of the chocolate ganache contrasted with the lemon, I liked it as a dessert cookie. The lemon glaze emphasized the lemon in the cookie and was very bright!
