The Queue: Work, work.

It’s January 2, so my nose is firmly back against its grindstone. Now, I don’t want to complain since my job is, you know, this. But still.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask the questions and we provide the answers as long as there isn’t more work needs doing.


The Queue: stale cake for breakfast

I know most people love leftovers, and I’m kind of a jerk to complain about the blessings of a fully stocked fridge, but between my daughter’s birthday and Christmas I’m kind of fighting for my life. Or maybe I’m just sugar crashing after literally having cake for breakfast.

Welcome to The Queue, the daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll get back to you right after we brush our teeth. Oh, and now that you’re here you’re contractually obligated to take a cookie and a scoop of leftover broccoli casserole. I know you don’t have a plate. Hold out your hand, coward.


The Queue: Flippin ain’t easy

Of course House Flipper 2 was a day one purchase for me. I’m not made of wood. I’m loving some of the updated features, particularly the one where you can basically copy and paste the styling of a particular piece of furniture or a finish, so I don’t have to re-select all the same options repeatedly. Weirdly, the only thing I’m having any kind of issues with is finding a house I can use easily for CAD purposes around my own house. I could construct something from scratch, but it’s a ton of work, and that’s time I could be using to build my real estate empire!

This is The Queue, the daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll answer while we scrub all these weird miscellaneous stains out of this dilapidated shack.


The Queue: this is fine

I’m not sure there’s ever a great time to come down with a chest cold and fever, but the week after you’ve had surgery, so coughing is excruciating and even kind of dangerous, is a particularly bad one. Bonus points if it’s the week before holiday break, and you still need to make sure Santa has everything stowed on his sleigh!

This is The Queue, the daily column where you ask us questions, and… yes, this auth key is still valid, please just let me answer these. Pass the Dayquil.


The Queue: Peppermint Mocha

There comes a time every holiday season when I’m tired and really need to force myself into being jolly and bright. This is that time.

This is The Queue, the daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll answer while thoughtfully sampling a candy cane sharpened into a convenient shiv.
