A mystery in the sense that We do not know when We ate it, not in the sense that We do not know what it is.
This is the beloved lentils and brown rice combo again, in the hot foods thermos, with some grapes and plums on the side.
This is an excellent lunch thermos, by the way. Our lentils were still piping hot at lunchtime, which is excellent, because of the heinous cold in Our building. Seriously, yesterday We were wearing jeans, full shoes and socks, a t-shirt, a sweater, and then a baggy sweatshirt over everything in order to keep from freezing. Although hot lunch is impossible to contemplate while We are at home, it is highly desirable at work!
Today We had to walk across campus to pick up some work for a friend who's sick at home and had foolishly left her class prep materials in her office. It's freezing in the buildings. Walking across campus, We sweated not just through Our t-shirt, but through the knees of Our jeans. Now We are back in the a/c, trying to dry off before We go teach again, and We are wet and freezing. This means 1) it is impossible to dress correctly and 2) the university is wasting a whole lot of cash keeping its staff freezing in sweaters in August. Can't something be done about this? Like, budget committee, what if you gave $ back to programs in exchange for everyone turning the temperature up two degrees in each building?
We must be overlooking or unaware of something.
