Yep. And my workload was already massive because of month end. I don't mind helping people but it's frustrating to basically be told that your work is less important than your coworkers.

Yeah. That's bullshit. I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Now to find my bottle opener.

Hi ladies. I'm not drinking because I still feel sick and achey and nauseous. I was able to leave work a little early and have been resting on the couch since I got home.


And I love all of the Bojack Horseman gifs, @led!

H and I have similar conversations, except he complains about cantaloupe. I love cantaloupe. How can people hate cantsloupem

What's it about?

The Knickerbocker hospital in NYC circa 1900.  Clive Owen plays the head surgeon.  This was a time when surgery was becoming a more respected specialization among doctors - lots of experimentation with success and failures.  A wealthy man owns the hospital but allows his daughter run the day to day operations.  The son of two of his servants (a black man) went to Harvard Med School and is a very skilled surgeon himself.  The wealthy man makes him second to Clive so there is a lot of race/women adversity during this time period being explored.  There's more, but that's a good summary.

Fair warning - there are C-sections (failed) and abortions in the show occasionally.  So, if that's a trigger for anyone, then avoid. 

I love the early twentieth century.  It was a very interesting time to be alive - pre-all world wars, NYC was booming, fashion was amazing, before antibiotics, diseases that aren't common now (typhoid, syphilis, etc), and life was so different than now but still very much the same.

That sounds like an awesome show.

I don't mind cantaloupe, but I really don't like honeydew. It has almost no flavor.

Ugh- there's always too much cantaloupe in the fruit salad! All I want is pineapple and strawberry with a couple honey dews mixed in.

They can't. It's impossible to hate something that doesn't exist.

Maybe you've just never had a good honeydew. I would take honeydew over cantaloupe any day.

Is this the UO food thread? I like my eggs burned. I love processed cheese product (ex velveeta, Kraft singles). And I prefer plain yogurt.

Are there time periods in history that you feel a connection to?

Like, I feel a connection to early 1900s (1900 - 1920ish).  I feel like I must've lived in that time period in another life.

Additionally, I feel a connection to the 1700s and stories about all the ships that traveled the world.  Mutiny on the Bounty is one of my most faaaaaaaaaaaaavorite stories.  My husband and I joke that I was a seamen in another life who died at sea (I'm terrified of deep water, but can swim really well and love the ocean).

Yeah, it sounds crazy.  But, we entertain ourselves.

Scrambled eggs better have a small amount of brown on them and be hard otherwise you're putting them back on the heat.

joy, I am very drawn to the WW2 era and I've always told people that I must have lived/died during that period in a former life. Not crazy at all!

Same here. Actually, same time periods too. I'd like to think that if i've lived a previous life, I did something epic.

I convinced H to get me ice cream. Now I have to decide between a hot fudge sundae and a mint oreo blizzard.

All I want is for my husband to come, cuddle on the couch together, and to watch The Knick.

The Knick is available on HBO right now (it's a Cinemax show). It's quite good should anyone be looking for a show.

It's quite gory. But I'm tryin hard to get into it. I think we've watched 4 episodes now.

I'm really drawn to the 1500s. I devour the books and time period. I think I was in the Tudor court.
