- Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but Schadenfreude is a dish best served with a hot cup of cocoa.
- It gives you something to sip and cover up the little smile you get as you nod along with their tale of woe.
- Apparently I’m a jerk because I refused to become part of the crowd of highly paid and highly trained technical specialists who were trying to figure out how to clear a paper jam this afternoon.
- Four or five people beating on the thing is my signal to just use the printer down the hall.
- Doing your homework with me as your dad is a lot like having to pay the mob – there aren’t a lot of good excuses for non-performance.

/ January 15, 2014I don’t think I’ll be growing habaneros for just that reason. They can be very delicious, but their heat turns off too many people. I can control things more easily with jalapenos and serranos.

/ January 16, 2014Ah, the dreaded paper jam. I have small hands, and many years experience with copiers and printers. I also have worked on airplanes, which breeds a whole new level of respect for the ways things can cut, fold, spindle, and mutilate gaskets, shims, and hoses (not dissimilar to paper, in their own ways).
Thus, I end up being the person who comes up, crouches down, checks all the “I’ve already checked that” places, pulls a thin strip of torn paper out from underneath a bit in the far back, checks all the places again after turning all the knobs, pulls out three more fragments of paper, refills all the trays, blows/wipes out the dust, (why do they always forget the preventive maintenance side?), and waits calmly for the paper-clearing cycle to finish before wandering off at high speed before I can be tasked with something else.
Somewhere in heaven, a church secretary who used my ‘free’ ‘volunteer’ child labor mightily for the bulletin and all its inserts is giggling at me. And telling me not to slouch.
