Now I want pumpkin pie

I wonder if I have the ingredients for it...

Once, in one week I was able to pamtke 2 pumpkin pies (from scratch) and a red velvet cake with stuff I had on hand. It was a little scary. I think I also made PB cookies?

Only 1 more week if you signed up for early results.

@matt267 PE, I think you have a protege in waiting.

I work for the state government. Therefore I am at work for exactly 37.5 hours. Every week.

Pump cheesecake is pretty good.

No thanks. I choose my own path.

Either you all are poor performers at work for four months out of the year, or you are way too underutilized and need more to do.

Definitely the latter, here... Still billable, though.  :dunno:

So I'm wondering if a lot of the bad reviews I'm hearing were just special scenarios, or if the people we doing it to themselves.

There are certainly lines of work and special projects which have very demanding workloads. Generally you know what they are before you get into it. If you don't: you get paid well or leave for better work. Even those that love the jobs and the money will eventually burn out or move on for something with an easier life.

I've got a somewhat serious question to gauge the room.

How many hours do you spend at work on average? 

Like, in reality. I've met people that are like, "I averaged over 100 hours a week in my last job." I can't help but not believe them.

I average 40. In at 7, out at 4. Sometimes later if something important is going on.

I may have follow up questions.

Mostly I'm a 9/80-er, but when a project demands it, I'm here much more. 

Consulting firm, salaried. 

Eta: Ooh, tops!

Wait.  Even better.  I want to make pumpkin roll.

It's the latter. But this is a really weird time of year. Lots of hurry up and wait.

I completed the project from hell two weeks before the PE. My bosses are letting me have it easy, currently. 

Someone explain why my math STILL isn't coming out right?!

 

[Road Guy]

Friday math?

 

[MadamPirate PE]

Maybe. *sigh*

 

[Will.I.Am PE]

Someone explain why my math STILL isn't coming out right?!

Here's what I know about electricity:

It involves electrons.

Ohm's Law.

AC alternates back and forth. DC doesn't.

Circuits are a thing.

Grounding is required for it to flow.

Rubber boots don't protect against lightning strikes.

... And I'm not even 100% on all of those.  :true:

My office is sooooo cold right now.  I have the corner office, with three windows...But this building was built in like 1950, so insulation is not the best.  And our heat is wonky.

My feeties are sad and I'm not even home.

Is the orange zest in the actual filling?  Lemon juice is usually just to prevent your fruit from browning/oxidizing.  The orange zest isn't normal, per se, I wouldn't be too concerned if you were adding a couple tsp?  Zest is used to enhance flavors, and with apples and cinnamon I def think of orange spice.  I mean, it works pretty well for that black tea with orange spice cinnamon.

thanks. so that's the problem. the recipe calls for the zest of an entire orange. it's really strong...I've made a fish marinade with it before and regretted it after the fact. so I may had a couple of teaspoons but not the zest of an entire orange. 

thanks!!
