Ah, the best late night food was when I was working night shifts in Finchley at Demon Towers. We’d go over to the local Chinese ten minutes before closing time and order a house special, and get everything they would otherwise have had to throw away.

Greggs, Bradford station, only place open as I walked for my train. Options were slim, being late in the day, so I bought what at first glance seemed passably like a sausage roll.
I am still haunted by the texture and taste of that oleaginous flake-encrusted glistening pinkness, the single most awful food I ever recall eating. The popularity of Greggs baffles me

Like Maccies, it’s cheap, fast and everywhere.
At this point, good is optional.

Has anyone else had anything “humorous” from work/ their industry?

One or two, but nothing particularly good this year.
Immediately annoyed when I opened a StackOverflow page this morning.
No, but the roguelikes discord has been renamed rougelike, and the “eternal guardian” bot that normally corrects the misspelling is now trying to enforce it.

I saw a post saying Dante Virtual Soundcard was no longer supported on Apple products, and someone is the big boardgame chat/selling group was ‘selling’ Ark Nova and Battlestar Galactica for £20 each
Luckily, I don’t work fridays.
So we talked last night about how we both hate surprises and please no dumb jokes.
So this morning my sister messaged, it was snowing in Brittany (where she lives). And I am like “yeah, and (my partner) is awake” (he’s famously sleeping long)… turns out it was really snowing.

I feel like this timeline is kinda wild right now that April Jokes will inevitably be lacklustre.

April Fool?
My husband and I have just booked our first holiday since 2017 
That is all.

2017? The pandemic only started… later.
Where are you going?
We haven’t been away for ages because a) it’s expensive and b) we normally have my husband’s children for holidays which would make going away twice as expensive and 5 times as stressful! The kids are visiting their grandparents in Japan this summer so we decided we could probably manage an actual holiday for a change. We’re going to Majorca for a week in July - I plan to get through a lot of books while trying not to melt!

And I thought I was bad. We have booked our first flight back to Europe since we moved here in 2018, we’ll be visiting my family in Gran Canaria during August for three weeks. Last I saw them was August 18, and the in laws and brother in law might drop by from Lithuania for a week or so, looking forward to that.

have any of you checked out what was going on on r/place? (Timelapse video)
I was fascinated the first time it came around—I didn‘t participate (neither 2017 nor this time) but it‘s incredible to look at.

I did participate on some subs. Done it casually, I left a tab open and hear a ping after 10 mins.

I lacked sleep in the past few days. And sleep deprivation kills off some functions in my brain like procrastination and timidity.
I end up booking my annual leave for every planned holidays in one go. Set up all the menial tasks with it.
So UKGE is all sorted out. Booked my annual leave for Essen Spiel and other holidays. Just need to confirm the arrangements for the latter.
