What do you do when your evening plans are cancelled?

You quickly fill in that time with another project, of course!

Last night was slotted for a dance rehearsal. So, after hitting the House of Pain, I raced home to meet with my troupe to run them through a 15th century ballo (you know... like ya do). On the drive home, I got a call saying one of them was sick, so we would have to just make do with the final dress rehearsal next week. No prob. I feel pretty darned confident that the group is doing well. But, of course, this meant that my action-packed evening was now open. For 2 seconds, perhaps. To make good use of that time, I moved one of my Friday night projects forward. So last night became... MUSTARD night.

For my cooking guild, I am working on a 14th century wine-reduction-mustard recipe. I made up a few different batches using some organic wines, some cheap stuff, etc,. etc. The kitchen smelled lovely while I was at work. Now to wait the 4 months that the recipe requires to see if it worked.

ONLY at my work

OK, picture this. I am sitting at my desk entering in expense report information against the budget for one of our projects. Everything was typical - meal reimbursements, travel, supplies, etc. Then I found one unusual expense report. It was for the purchase of "Dental Dams". Being that I had NO clue what the heck said items are, I wasn't sure if this would qualify as "supplies" or "equipment. So...I asked. Following is the response that I received from my cow-orker:

A dental dam is a usually square piece of latex used for safer sex when rimming (for gay men) and eating a girl out (for straights). I can put one in your box if you like? Let me know if you have anymore questions :)

Let it never be said that my cow-orkers are not thorough!
