3 Positive Things Part 7

What is a two course meal at McDonalds?

 

[Daniel E.]

There are a variety of exciting combinations

I would suggest a side salad or parfait as one course. I had an Egg McMuffin as my main course since they serve them all day, and the breakfast sandwiches are the only vegetarian-friendly sandwiches they sell.

They are also promoting the Shamrock Shake, which turned 50 years old this year. I did not try it, but I guess it would be good as a minty dessert (second or third course).

1. Some free food for International Women's Day (but I don't feel like going over there on my own and "being a woman" so I'm not having any).
2. Giving up on being overly detailed on a description in writing for work.
3. Didn't get wet in the rain this morning and my shoe is mostly dry after yesterday.

I think my ancestors would haunt me if I passed on anything free

Bonus: They took the leftovers to the kitchen so I got to have some anyway.
Anti-bonus: Savoury muffins. Who even does that? Make them into scones so that they're not so deceptive!

1. Rode my bike to work.
2. Only got slightly muddy from road splash, and had a shower at work.
3. I didn't have any issues with my dodgy brakes,and identified my next plan for attempting to fix them.

1. The bus driver wasn't badly injured in the minor collision that happened and broke his side mirror on the way to work.
2. Resisting the urge to turn around and walk home instead of waiting for the replacement bus.
3. It's good weather so far today.

Edit: FFS they sent a replacement bus but not a replacement driver.

1. Customer is having a full on meeting in our lunch room?! And I walked in, got my milo, and walked out without saying a word :lol: Stuff them if no one ever tells us what's going on when they do repainting or repurpose our facilities and close areas. The meeting that I crashed hadn't actually started yet, but maybe it will still get back to whoever told them they could use the room, in which case MAYBE they'll actually consider telling people it might impact next time. Probably not though.
2. Hoping the day dries out so I can ride my bike home. Sunny so far.
3. Dunno yet.

possible #3: Milo has potentially immune-boosting vitamins

 

[David Baxter PhD]

That's because Milo is named after a cat.

My favourite bit is still where Otis meets the fox. "Someone who might be helpful"... as he's singing a dopey song :lol:

1. Feeling ok as long as I'm playing keyboard or guitar.
2. Finally killed a fly that had been in my apartment for a few days.
3. About to go investigate the rice situation at the shops, but I successfully cooked a larger batch of quinoa last night so I'm good for now even though it's a bit weird with curry.

We have plenty of rice since it is too healthy for most Americans

1. Got BOGO subs from Subway by using the Subway app for the first time.

2. My outdoor plants got plenty of water from the last four days of rain.

3. Good time to be an introvert

1. Rode my bike to work.
2. Left my laptop at home because I've been using the desktop at work anyway so there's no point lugging it to work in my bag when I needed the space for a change of clothes and a towel.
3. Feeling OK at this moment. Certainly better than before the bike ride.

Edit: Bad call on the desktop, this thing is struggling hard today. Probably trying to synch my profile with the laptop or something stupid. Great waste of time which normally I wouldn't mind but for my urgent task :eyeroll:

It improved after I restarted and waited a few mins. So only took me 45 mins to get started.

Bonus: The day went by really, really quickly with the task. I don't think I'm doing it particularly well though, because I'm supposed to end up with a few short paragraphs but I already have a couple of pages of calcs and am only almost half done :/ Aiming to get it done in time for my boss to tell me what I can cut out... So, tomorrow.
