#it's one job is to be a sauce delivery system and it sucks at it

TW: Spoiled temper tantrum / first world problem

The new work laptop successfully arrived (15 minutes before the delivery window ended) and I was even able to open my door before the FedEx lady had a chance to get to the top step.  Gotta love being so paranoid I’d miss the delivery that I was staring out the window for over three hours. But I was ready!

The box was MUCH smaller than anticipated and upon opening up the exciting package my heart immediately plummeted in my chest.  A MacBook Pro??? WHAT.  I’ll be working for a technology company.  All IT/tech dudes I know only use PCs.  I even mentioned in one of my interviews that I’m incompetent in Apple and I’m so glad we’re using all Google suite products.  

As an always PC, always Android user, I am a self-proclaimed all-things Apple hater (except for my first generation iPod).  I JUST got rid of my previous work’s iPhone and was overjoyed to finally rid myself of all Apple products and now this???  It’s bad enough I’ll be starting a new job not knowing a damn thing but now I’ll be starting a new job not knowing a damn thing on a system I don’t know how to navigate in the slightest.  I always considered myself to be relatively tech savvy and able to do more on a computer than the average user but now I’m starting at square one.  

So.  After complaining at length to Kevin and @zerocarb and throwing a minor temper tantrum I sucked it up and started watching all the YouTube videos on being a beginner Macbook user.  I now have three pages of notes and feel much better than I initially did.  Sadly, I can’t set up or play with the new laptop to get familiar with it until my IT onboarding on Monday so I’m still without practice but at least I feel more confident than I would have had I not started to educate myself.  What a learning opportunity this has turned out to be :)

Moving on.  As you can see I’m living my best non-keto life.  My latest grocery haul included a loaf of Dave’s Killer Bread (my faaaaaave) so I’ve been greatly enjoying it at every meal.  Yesterday, Kevin and I spent the day making his mom’s lasagna which included this homemade tomato sauce that I’m positively obsessed with.  The lasagna was fine but THE SAUCE. OMG.  The noodles and cheese just got in the way of the saucy goodness.  I could literally eat just a meal of the sauce and be so so satisfied.  Need to start making this in double batches on the regular.  

In my attempt to drink MoAr water while keeping cozy during an all-rainy season, I’ve been drinking more tea.  Sadly, most of the teas I have aren’t interesting to me or are fully caffeinated.  Every time I’m at the store I buy a new box to try which means my tea collection is busting at the seams. If you have any caffeine free teas you’d recommend, please do so!   Although, maybe I should focus on drinking from my current stash before buying more...
