Friend said let's meet at 1. I ask her if she's sure. She says yes. It's 1:46 and I'm still waiting for her. I knew I should've arrived at 2. She waited a million years for a bus so she didn't have to walk, when she could've walked. Grr.

Does she wear tight/fashionable/high heeled shoes? Was I wearing such, I'd wait a million years for a bus rather than walk and cripple myself. If, on the other hand, she wears comfy shoes - that's a different dynamic.
She's wearing sneakers right now. Just too "lazy" to walk. I hate calling people lazy but she takes pride in it.
People who take pride in being lazy don't make good friends.
i have fam who don't call it lazy, they think they are being smart
I'm assuming she's just arrived if you know she's wearing sneakers.
Does that mean you're going to spend time with her then?
Did she have the courtesy to say that she'll be late?
Think it's a bit rude as well making you wait due to walking/bus thing.
Yep she said she was still in bed when I arrived.
That would be a wonโt meet ever again for me
omg
Hm still not great.
Hopefully it's not a consistent thing that happens all the time.

Ohhh fuckity.
Boss: How do you feel youโre going?
Me: Iโm planning on resigning in 2 weeks.
Boss: โฆ can you not?
you: Sure if you change [x, y, z that's making you leave]!
He's going to discuss with the directors about sidestepping me into another role, I'm not well suited for the one my original role grew into. I'll see what they offer, but I think it'll be adios for me.

Here's the recipe for Golden Syrup pudding
Got no argument on the recipie - it's very similar to the one I use. But. They left a lot out in terms of method. Feel free to ignore this if you already know the details.
too much information
Where it says 'cover with baking paper' - it means butter the paper well, put a finger width pleat in that cover paper, then add a similarly pleated sheet of tinfoil on top and tie around just under the rim of the pudding basin with string - there's a reason pudding basins have a substantial rim. It's a good idea to make a handle by tying the ends of the string together over the top - this greatly eases removing the pudding from the water later without burned fingies. The pleat prevents the pudding from exploding and covering the kitchen with hot golden syrup. Ask me how I know. No don't. It's embarrassing. And I had guests over at the time.
Set a timer to check for more boiling water every 15 mins - and ONLY add water that's freshly boiling from the kettle. I like using a stockpot rather than a saucepan - and use a shallow trivet on the bottom under the basin for better water circulation.

I think RR forgot to mention the custard with that pudding.
Isn't custard just a given?
In my household it is.

OK. I might do some tv and movie stuff . I just look at random stuff or maybe watch what other people talk about.
The Package aka The Pakige with Gene Hackman. Before Die Hard there was The Package but without the jokes or impressive action scenes. 2 hobbits.
All Is Lost. If self reliance really was a thing then there would no such thing as outside people or events messing up life. Robert Redford was amazing in this.
3.5 hobbits just to watch RR
kevin can go fuck himself
I am reminded of Henry Miller writing of another author, the author writing of a man cut in slices, different aspects of the man and their life written as separate stories. Much like his nexus trilogy. Maybe he was talking about himself, eh.
or the verve singing their bittersweet symphony , being a million different people each day
