My boss was precipitously let go two days ago. I could tell early on that his reports thought better of him than his peers or higher ups, so I'm sad but not surprised. Luckily, we've got someone very knowledgeable and competent stepping in, at least temporarily. Work has otherwise been meh: dealing with the quirks of a creaky old system gets in the way of the more exciting work of replacement, i.e. business as usual.

But! Happy things abound:
  1. The Mighty Orb has returned.
  2. Tacoma Girl is back from Spain, and she's going to tell me tales while I serve the sake that I picked up from...
  3. ...Uwajimaya last night. My excuse for going there: I needed spicy beans for ma po tofu. And I note that they have both Huy Fong Sriracha and its new competitor, made by their erstwhile pepper growers. (There was a civil suit that Huy Fong lost.) For the same unit price, Huy Fong's bottle is bigger. Based on that and my knowledge that Huy Fong Sriracha cures the common cold, I stuck with what I know.
  4. Thence to ladies' night at Greenwood Hardware. I got rosé and popcorn as I picked up food waste bags and a new duster, 20% off. I've never seen so many women, or a higher percentage of women, in a hardware store in my life.
  5. I got to see the sunset from Phinney Ridge, which hadn't happened since I moved away.
  6. The Tickler arrives later today, and I'm nearly ready.
  7. I get to see [personal profile] gement this afternoon! Will wonders never cease?
