Not so fast there, girlie.
You can fight me too. I don't want to seem exclusionary.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do I want for lunch today?
Last night I had dinner at a Russian restaurant. The highlight of the meal was pumpkin vareniky - dumplings, more or less, seasoned with cumin and dusted with cinnamon. Fabulous. Also herring and borscht.

Mmmm.
Just had lunch at a Beacon Hill Italian place called Grotto.
Started with a garlic parmesan soup with toasted bread crumbs and a drizzle of pesto on top.
Followed it up with a mushroom risotto with roasted tomatoes, Reggiano and asparagus. I am now stuffed and eagerly awaiting the food coma.
Heh, accidental food porn x-posting.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, and he's kind of geeky, in the cute way. Knows all the words to most of the 80s songs being piped over the sound system in the office.
I may have a small crush on him, in the "Handsome man. Saved me from the pain" sort of way, but I'm generous enough to share.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't know about lunch yet, but my dinner will be sushi, omakase style. I'm a little scared.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Okay, I can't compete with the food porn, though I *am* eating strawberries that, given the time of year, must surely be hothouse strawberries, which normally have NO flavor, but they are really really good.

I hate the world.
D'oh. So the stupid people didn't get smarter overnight, then?
My day has been odd. I got to work at a decent time, even though the roads weren't in great condition. I nabbed the last chocolate-filled donut in the break room. My work load is insane, but I'm too emotionally vacant to care, so it'll get done or it won't. I look out the window one minute, it's a blizzard; I look out the window the next minute, it's blue skies and sunshine.
It's kind of like being stuck inside a cubicle snow globe.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I had frozen raviolis for lunch. They were were okay, but not by any stretch of the imagination porn.
(Uh-oh, shrift is onto the snowglobe)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am eating half-price chocolate while drinking Diet Coke. It all works out, right?
And I continue to be amazed that my boss thinks I'm doing a decent job, since I feel like I (a) screw around too much, and (b) have not written a single inspired sentence since I've worked here. There is something to be said for taking a job below your experience, I guess.
