Some people get mad when I "candy dish" about work, the "candy dish" kid, or negativity in general. I have not had much to say otherwise. To be fair, I mostly dislike it when my "candy dishes" are negative too. Maybe later this afternoon, but don't get your hopes up.

She's coming in next weekend. And yes, not fixing the "candy dish" did irk me as well, I have been a little too busy I guess. I don't like leaving things unfinished.
Also, kudos on the subject line.

Exciting - take a mini detour to Philly to hang out. Or else take pictures. Enjoy "candy dishing" with her. ~

Ups and downs. I'm downer than usual, but (as per the graphic
representation) I'm higher than most people most of the time.
A little like Flordia. A bad day for me is better than an average day almost anywhere else.
At home we've got most of the new addition painted and most furniture moved. I now have my very own room with cable tv, comic books, and video games.
I have been helping L&F move, tomorrow-ish I will be carting futon/mattress stuff for them.

So you're never going to move out of your parent's house now huh. How is F&L's new place? What was so bad about going out with your semi friend?
You have been more negative than usual. How's the "candy dish" search going?
*this is everybody's "high"

Adina - the new apartment is fun. We have chandeliers and a retro kitchen and bathroom. We're going to have slipper parties and play poker, and then crash the BU keggers next door.
Is "candy dish" the new code word for blogging/spooning/everything else?
Yes. as per the most recent "stupid kid's email" entry we are now using "candy dish" (quotation marks required) as a substitute for anything and everything non-work related. (e.g. blogging, interviewing for new jobs, or anything else)
also, around here some of us have begun using the phrase "sail on mike" in ironically inspirational situations. I doubt either of these phrases will (or should) ever be used outside of work. They do not have the catch-phrase potential of a "boo-urns."
i like the hierarchy of average - that made me wonder how I stack up against the rest of humanity.
ps - the candy bar meme is like the new internet sensation.
Wait, seriously? I thought you were joking about starting a meme. (aside: how the hell is that pronounced? is that one of those words you should only see written so you dont' have to worry about actually saying it? like "texting" ugh. I hate that word)
anyway, really? you got any links?
BAM!

oh, ps. e$ I can't access your blog from work, so if that's where the candy bars are making a big splash, that's why I don't know about it.
somebody remind me to update my links and subheader and correct that rankings post... and read V for Vendetta before seeing the movie...and move the rest of my furniture into the new room... I've got a lot to do.

My favorite part of this post is the made-up email addresses. Which I just noticed. Also, the exorbitant use of "candy dish." hahaha :)
i guess you were right about the whole "ranking" thing, but people seem to list their favorites anyway. I loathe all video games equally, and the candy bars are in fact in order of preference. So it's not totally out of whack :)
also, i laughed out loud when I read your comment. Then I felt like an ass.
Woooo! mission accomplished! LOL achieved!
