On A $4 Glass of Pinot Grigio
@olivebee I've had some good wine that's more expensive and when I drink it, I can see "Well, yeah, this does taste better than the cheap stuff I drink" but mostly, I really can't tell the difference. Maybe it just hasn't happened yet. (And it's probably not going to until I get rich.)
Strangely, I don't want to spend more than $10 on wine but I'll pay ridiculous amounts for beer ... but beer I actually understand.

On Birthdays at the Office
@sox I forget if it was for his birthday or something else (possibly just because ...) but we filled a coworker's cubicle with balloons. We spent much of our downtime at work (and probably time we should have been working) blowing them up. It was pretty impressive.

@phlox If we got to drink at these celebrations, I'd probably enjoy them much more.

On Birthdays at the Office
I always take my birthday off so I won't be around for any such nonsense. (That is, if people actually know it's my birthday.)
I work in an office of about 10 people. I swear some of these people have about three birthdays a year. We do not have enough people to celebrate as many birthdays as we do.

On Spinach Quiche-Casserole
I don't really eat eggs anymore and only eat cheese on occasion (I'm a half-ass vegan, mostly) but the idea of stuffing all of this into a baked potato just sounded so delightful. And like it would be a great hangover cure.

On Playing House, Cutting Ties, and Being Alone
@plonk What do you like to do? Can you make that hobby social somehow? I know Meetup works for some people but I've always found it to be a mess.
I started going to a lot of events/etc. related to my interests and volunteered at a few of them. And then people got used to seeing me around and we all started talking more. And then talking led to hanging out outside of these events.
Think of it in the same way as you'd network professionally. Except this is for fun, so it's better and much less pressure.

On Happy Hour: It's National Margarita Day
I typically think that tequila kills and should be avoided at all costs. However, I will drink margaritas at every occasion possible.
(Also, when you got to a restaurant and they ask "Do you want the regular size or the large size?" when ordering a margarita, clearly the answer is "LARGE." I mean, why is that even a question?)

On Valentine's Etiquette With Martha
@whizz_dumb I enjoy the whiskey too, but whiskey is bad call on a weeknight. And for some reason, they expect me to show up to work on Wednesdays ...

On Valentine's Etiquette With Martha
Since I'm single, I have to buy my own dinner anyway.
Which in this case is, of course, a six-pack of beer.

On She'll Have the Lasagna
@sympathyforthebasementcat I don't think there's an inappropriate time to post a photo of a dog eating a cupcake.
