    Somewhere between here and there
    I usually do about 200ml at a time since I don't use it for everything. I mixed a recipe I found last night for peanut butter cookie custard and mixed the ingredients separate instead of using base. The base is nice though for quickly mixing sft.

    It's all about the base, bout the base (add flavors)
    It's all about the base, bout the base (add flavors)

    Could not resist. Ugh. Can I vent a moment. I am SO SICK of my supervisor. I have had a crazy week from hell and was gonna like, finish some notes so they did not lock (they are now firmly locked.)

    I got this email from my supervisor at 5:00 pm ON THE DOT. "I have some concerns to discuss with you and I will see you at 8 tomorrow."

    Maybe I am being irrational and unreasonable but I KNOW she did it on purpose. She probably SCHEDULED the email. Of course she was unreachable by phone OR cell,.

    WHO DOES THAT? First of all, it basically "says" nothing and gives me 0 work minutes to prepare. Anyway, I am afraid I got somewhat ......, and ended up calling the supervisor of "everyone else."

    I explained my dilemma of "I get to go home and worry about WHAT the hell her concerns are all night. In the time she wrote that email she could have CALLED and just told me, etc, etc. I was like "I am sick of this."

    Anyway, the nice persons said she would call my director who is still my supervisor "for a bunch of random crap reasons."

    I feel pretty bad on my new medications and getting up at 5 is not working for yoga. I FEEL LIKE CRAP.

    Ugh. Anyway I am sleep deprived, life deprived and I did call the director back who gave me a bunch of stupid niggling crap that could have been dealt with by phone. BUT NO.

    I am gonna need a doctor's appointment and just tell him fine, 60 mg of Adderall. Because it has to be better than any of my other options. I'm just... spent.

    Etc. Also, I am going to politely listen to my supervisor's statements and then say "I am sorry I have not response for that, other than I will do my bets to change it."

    Then I will ask to be transferred to the supervisor who does not suck. I can't take this passive aggressive crap any longer.

    My nic base is the same for everything. I don't think I've ever added up how much I mix but I have several 120ml bottles I use.

    I think I posted it already and might be on Z's blog. But here it is again.


    Raspberry Yogurt
    Greek Yogurt (TFA) 12.00%
    Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TFA) 0.50%
    Raspberry (FW) 0.33%
    Raspberry (FA) 0.33%

    I like the subtle flavor and texture of the yogurt plus how it flattens out the fruit. Needs a lot to come thru but worth it.
    I am making this today. I'll have to sub one of the raspberries...I don't have FA...but I'm excited for something new. Sounds so good!

    TGIF! I'm doing mindless work today to give my brain a break. But it's important work. Stuff I've put off cause nobody will ever leave me alone.

    Once again, I'm really hoping you can get the meds sorted out.

    @stols001 sounds like your planned response is the best. Reminds me of my favorite motivational speaker of all time, Roger Mellot. He said 'don't engage with the devil' meaning, people who just want to win. Don't waste your energy on those types, 'let them win sooner'. Just agree with them instead of getting into defensive/explaining mode which they won't hear anyway. I will never forget his example: a supervisor is ragging on a staff about why she didn't do ____. He says just say, " you would like for me to do ____? I will do that as soon as someone calls. Supervisor cannot argue further with it.

    His talks and 'cassette tapes' were on topics such as 'stress management for women'.

    Here is a yt seminar:

    Yeah, I feel like crap today. Emotional hangover plus IDK meds, plus I have WORKED my .... off.

    I might leave after the meeting depending on how I feel. What could be even cooler is if I could artificially elevate my temperature and get sent home for COVID. I know if won't happen and I know I will be there all darn day but like, I WISH I had an elevated temp. We are "all" supposed to get one upon entering the building but they show up at 8 and like..... A lot of us get there before that.

    Words cannot express how much I would like to climb right back in bed this fine day.

    I was butting heads with an insecure newly promoted boss once and someone gave me the same advice. Whatever he complains about just say, what do you advise me to do to avoid this problem in the future? Puts the problem of fixing the situation on him. If he dodges the question and just tells you not to mess up next time or somesuch just ask the question again. Downside is you have to actually do whatever he ends up suggesting. But if it doesn't work it's on him.

    Unless you get a REALLY malicious one. I had a boss that kept telling me I didn't do what he asked (I did exactly as asked). So I told him I wanted all requests via e-mail so instructions would be clear. He refused. I quit! I'm sure that's what he wanted anyway, but sometimes you have to know when to give up for self-preservation! This is also the job that told me I needed to learn to be more DIS-organized, because that's the way they work. *head desk*

    I don't like the "empty" email trick. I have also not liked this freaky "odd religion" woman (they make you adopt babies into the fold) since she blatantly LIED to my face. Shoulda called her on it then.

    Anna

    Yep I plan on calling out right after the meeting by saying, "I felt so Ill, but you gave me no time to prepare and it sounded so important."a
    I just gotta get out for a day. The nice thing is my work doesn't do "partial" PTO days so I will get paid.

    You might be able to get away with using just one raspberry and just doubling it. I go half n half with FW and FA only because they offset each other's weaknesses. FA is kind of light/floral while FW is a bit strong and slightly candyish. Together they make a very nice raspberry.

    I had to do the same as mine also refused to put into email. So when a verbal request came in i would type them an email ask if my understanding of what they asked for was correct or not. If not pls respond to this email with exactly what you are asking for. I found that 9 out of 10 times they didnt even really know what they wanted. So then began the million questions. Quite an ordeal but my boss did not last long in that position. Then i got promoted. Lol
