Dec. 8th, 2015 07:40 pmToday I learned two new and completely unrelated things: elephants are afraid of bees (http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/12/beehive-fences/), and 8 ounces of dried bay leaves by weight is a gallon of bay leaves by volume (https://www.penzeys.com/shop/spices/). Next time you want to impress somebody, try one of those on them. (I can't say I blame the elephants; if I got a bee sting two feet up the inside of my nose, I wouldn't like bees either.)
I also learned that I was at least slightly smarter than usual the last time I went to Penzey's in person, and bought two bags of celery flakes. So I'm not out of celery flakes. I'm closer to out of bay leaves and parsley, but I don't have to go all the way to Arlington Heights for those.
At work I learned that the Great Office 365 Email Migration was only slightly less of a pain in the ass than I thought it was going to be. I had to remind my boss to do what she was supposed to, and then show her how to give me access to her calendar in Outlook so I could go figure out how to get access to it in Mac Calendar. It all came out in the wash, so she's off to Chicago for the rest of the week and I can make appointments for her for next week if I have to.
I'm getting a little tired of looking at my wrist several times a day and being reminded that I forgot that my watch is in Cambridge having its crystal replaced. I suppose I could go buy a cheap replacement watch, but I don't want one. I want MY watch.
