I did a market in Boise once too and my worst seller was this lemon poppy thing I was sure would crush it. Turns out folks just want the plain stuff they already know, which stung a bit. So what was your worst seller, cause I'm betting it was something you actually liked.

Cats can totally sense it. Mine will be dead asleep and the second I pick up a pencil her tail starts going. I swear they wait for you to get the eyes right before they move. Nine pages of potato cats is still nine pages of love though.

Feel for you on this one, getting called out in front of the whole office over a lunch mishap is rough. My old job had a similar thing happen after someone microwaved leftover curry, and we ended up with a laminated sign and a very awkward all-staff email about food smells. It is wild how one person's lunch can turn into a company policy, but at least you know you are not the first person to set off the office microwave alarm.
