Years ago, I worked for a company that sold sandwiches in airports. I once got a complaint email that someone’s chicken cordon bleu sandwich was missing the chicken. I replied that “cordon bleu” was French for “not there,” and I have not felt that level of job satisfaction since.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16? So many to choose from. 1985 was a good year. First that came to mind:

First day back (part time) at the bookstore!

Terrified that SCOTUS is considering calling counseling “speech.” Way to destroy an entire swath of jobs and invalidate the hard work we do

Submitted poems to 2 different places both of which said they would notify yes/no. One I paid for feedback. Six months and no feedback, and didn’t answer an email. And they’re still publishing other people. Hmm. If the feedback is like “don’t quit your day job” that’s fine. Just let me know
