New job here too!

Good advice, Alan

I was thinking along the same lines. I'd get home within 10 minutes of leaving work, and feel deflated and depressed. I'll spare you the details, but I think the new job will be far more satisfying on a number of levels.

You remembered

and the Meyers lemon drops too. You know, Suds, I've often envisioned you and Laundress and I throwing back a few one day before we get too rusty and I can't quite get over the fact that we could have met her out walking in NYC during our deposed Governor's fiasco. Imagine.... a laundress siting.! You seem to know her best and longest. Have you ever had the pleasure?

Also forgot to mention your enrichment of my life through soap gratings--Dial, Ivory, and Irish Spring, mmm, mmm--on certain washdays.

Miceky,

I remember Laundress aka Cimberlie de Sade from ThatHomeSite days, but I don't recall ever having met the Lady. Seeing as how she and I are on opposite ends of the country, a chance meeting would seem to be highly unlikely, but you never know...

I'd forgotten about the grated soap flakes. It was fun for a while but I went back to a liquid HE free and clear detergent for items that need extra softness. Still have a supply of grated soap, though, for when the mood strikes me or when I have some woolens or delicates that need a gentle treatment.
