sisyphus is my homeboy

Just last week, we were here. Sigh.Why is it that coming back from vacation entails working extra hard just to turn the piles on one's desk from "OMG ON FIRE SRSLY SOMEONE GET A HOSE" to "does anyone else smell smoke"? Oy.
Joking aside, it hasn't been as bad as I feared, and even the damage in my email inbox wasn't so bad. For relative values of bad, obviously -- when you're used to several dozen emails per day, a few hundred emails piled up while you were on vacation is a downright miracle. Boulder, mountain, etc. etc.
Sal's return from vacation coincided with the start of a new group of students, which has made it easier for him to ease back into work, as well. So we haven't suffered as much as we might have otherwise from that unpleasant malaise that usually sets in when vacation is over and it's time to get back to the regular routine. Oh, we're still looking forward to our next getaway with relish, I won't lie. But not counting down the minutes hours days or anything.
(Okay, maybe I'm lying a little bit.)

lunch, blue bunny & moons:
- Thai BBQ chicken skewers
- steamed broccoli
- jasmine rice with fresh sugar snap peas (and a bit of teriyaki in the little condiment cup to add a bit of flavor)
- carrot sticks
- cashews and dark chocolate covered raisins with a bit of dried mango as baran

I'm going to admit I had to look up the word "sisyphus" as that made me scratch my head. And I'm pretty damned smart too. Now I'm smarter...thanks :)
I love dried mango. Yummy. I especially love stealing it from Tony. Alas I won't steal it from you in your cute bento boxes....I cannot destroy a work of art.
Yep. I used to be kind of obsessed with Greek/Roman mythology. Now I'm more "interested" than "obsessed", except now it's with all different kinds of mythology.
I steal Tony's dried mango, too! Well, I don't exactly steal it since he's standing there when I have some, but you know.
