Nachos and Salads

Even though I said we'd be released earlier today, guess who still left the workplace at 4 PM? Yep, me. Why? Because my to-do list looked like it had been hit by a tornado. I seriously wish I had Naruto’s Shadow Clone Jutsu—just imagine how much faster everything would get done!

Honestly, I’m pretty proud of my multitasking skills. I can juggle multiple tasks like a pro. But now? It’s just me, running the whole circus solo. Quality issues? Check. Meetings? Check. Measurements? Check. Oh, and let’s not forget assistant-level tasks like ordering bubble tea (seriously, since when is that in my job description?!).

Bruh, I need to tattoo my actual job description on my hand to remind myself what I’m supposed to be doing. Otherwise, I’ll keep wandering off this career path—probably straight into the bubble tea industry at this rate.

So yeah, no bubble tea today because the schedule was busier than a mall on Black Friday. Looks like we’ll only get to sip on that sweet, sweet bubble tea after Christmas—on the 26th. Today’s Christmas Eve, and instead of a fancy turkey dinner, I had… a salmon salad bowl and a box of nachos. Random combo, right? But ever since I saw a picture of nachos, I’ve been craving them like crazy. Actually, I’ve been craving everything lately, and I finally figured out why: it’s that lovely monthly gift from my body—my bestie, the period.

Honestly, I’m still amazed at how women can bleed for a week straight and just… keep going. I mean, I learned this in high school biology, but clearly, I’ve returned all that knowledge back to my teacher. Sorry, Puan Choo! I swear I tried to remember, but my brain said, “Nah, we’re full.”

Speaking of the salad… I’m disappointed. Why? Because it’s not hot. Yes, I know I’m being unreasonable—salads aren’t supposed to be hot. But hey, my Asian stomach was raised on hot, steaming meals, so this cold bowl of greens? A betrayal to my digestive system.

That said, I can’t deny that after munching on all those leafy greens, I do feel healthier. Or maybe it’s just my brain pulling a Jedi mind trick: “You ate greens, you’re basically invincible now.”

the orange thingy is smoked salmon, not carrot

But let’s be real—the real MVP of today’s meal was the nachos. Crispy, cheesy, and no identity crisis like the salad. Nachos knew what they were about, and I respect that.
