Thought of the day:
Is 'deactivated yeast' like an FBI agent who has gone rogue, but instead of exactly that, they're a secret undercover culinary agent?

I think when I'm at work I've just learned to flow and be present with everything that's happening at any given moment, expecting nothing yet still trying to think ahead a little bit.
Then, I can relax with it and know that I've tried my best.

There's nothing quite like getting home from work and prancing around the kitchen like a deer dazzled by the headlights - although would that just technically lead to being run over?
Well, I guess I can be floored by a quality tune.

My favourite thing is when a customer is on the self-service machines and they've got some packets of nuts that aren't weighing properly. It's the best excuse to just go up to them and say, "It's just checking the weight of your nuts."

Jack channelling Joe Goldberg if he was a burglar.
It really feels a lot like one of those sarcastic drawn-out monologues in his mind.
Also, yes you are good at pretending to be creepy.

It was the 2-3pm quiet hour at work when there's no music or tannoy announcements
I asked my co-worker: "What would you listen to right now if you could choose some music to hijack the speakers with?"
His reply: "Hmm...Goldfrapp?"
Hell yes!

Interesting idea. WWMS - what would music say?
Some people say that they make music for themselves, ie the music they would like to listen to. I don’t think that’s the right way. But I also don’t think we should make music for other people. I think we should try to make music that music would like, if it was sentient, which it might be.

There are a lot of scams involving the purchase of gift cards at the moment. Someone came into the store I work at trying to buy 10 Steam gift cards.
He was absolutely desperate to get them so he could avoid his account being permanently closed.
We refused the sale...

If posts on Twitter were 'tweets', I wonder what posts on Bsky are called. Maybe 'Bleets'?

Doctor Sleep rules because it's about a bunch of psychic vampires who pick a fight with a little girl and the little girl just wipes the fucking floor with them. It's the most cathartic thing. There's almost no tension, just creatures who lived so long they forgot how mean little girls can be.

We're back on a #Blacklist watching week. Red is just such a fantastic and complex character who continuously delivers the blows.
Spader honestly did an amazing job in that role.

I slept hugging the squishy panda last night and it actually helped a bit although I still woke up at 4:30am to use the toilet. After that, it did help with resting a bit more peacefully.
Martin jokingly suggested an anime-girl dakimakura 😅 but I think I'll stick with squishy animals, thank you.

I've really got to stop watching those reels where people just dance around their living rooms to some weird music and lip sync or talk about how they have, like, 12 babies.
WTF is up with those? And I know I don't enjoy them so I should just..not.

For £80 second hand this thing was a bargain. It works great and it's actually sturdy.

Sometimes I go for a walk and just silently judge strangers. Not in a negative way, something that's inoffensive - like "I bet that person is an accountant with a deep love of chicken farming".
