The Queue

Despite the week being shorter due to the New Year’s holiday it feels like it’s been twice as long as a normal work week. I’m pretty dang tired — but when Liz asks for a sub, I’ll always find the energy to help!

No ramble in my preamble, let’s just answer questions.

So I sat down to write the Queue. Did so. Tried to get as many things in it as I could. Then, on my way to save it, somehow lost the entire post and now have to write it again.

This is the Queue. I am screaming inside.

… if I had one!

So the whole family got matching pajamas to wear for Christmas, and Marshmallow got a bandanna that also matched. He looked super-cute in it too.

And then it disappeared. We have no idea what happened to it. At some point it was no longer around his neck, and we haven’t found it anywhere. As near as we can guess it fell off while he was outside and then blew away, but that’s just a guess. I suspect it’ll turn up in four months.

While we lament the cute picture that could’ve been, let’s answer some questions!

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.

Happy New Year everyone!

I hope you all had a fun and safe evening last night and are in for a nice cozy relaxing day today. As always it’s a pleasure to be here writing this for you all and I’m looking forward to all the Queues of the next year!

It’s time for — The Queue!

I admit, the headline may be debatable. But it’s the last Queue of the year so I’m gonna give it a shot.

Look, blame Kalcheus and Jalamenos for talking about the game.

But I mean, come on: Purple is clearly the culprit. He has an alien-like tongue that lashes out at his enemies. And several large, pointy teeth. And he makes some… strange noises, that no other crewmate makes. Yet people still blame it on poor Red!

This is The Queue. There are vampires in space?!

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.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!

Unless you’re not celebrating anything today, then I hope you have a great Monday.

By the time you’re reading this hopefully you’re several presents deep and gotten just what you were hoping for — and maybe some things you didn’t know you needed. I also hope that you’ve eaten far too many cookies, drank too much eggnog or eggnog-flavored coffee, and had an otherwise relaxing wonderful morning.

While I pour myself another tasty holiday spirit, it’s time for — The Queue!
