What kind of air molecule was it?

Pretty sure it was a diatomic oxygen molecule....

GASP!!

It just caught up with me from a post above that it's GIRL SCOUT COOKIE TIME!

I am now on the phone with LA GS Council to find a cookie booth in MY neighborhood!!

Because our office is pretty isolated and they don't want people leaving every day for lunch, we get free lunch twice a week, plus free fruit, cereal, bagels, English muffins, and toast and 5 or 6 kinds of soda every day.

I'm trying very hard not to post every five minutes about how bored I am.

You could alternate that with checking your email.

Not that I do that or anything.

You can't just wait for them to come to you?

You know how there was a series of articles on the crazy catering that's done in the med/pharma industry? My brother could avoid buying any food, ever, and not starve. Quite the opposite, in fact. Hell, he brings the leftovers home and the whole family eats it.

A friend's boyfriend used to a be a pharmaceutical sales rep. He pretty much HAD to provide catered meals to the doctors' offices he visited, or he'd never get in to see the doctors--the best goodies got past the office staff. I helped him find local places that catered lunches to help him out when he first took the job.

It's LA. The girls don't sell door to door.

One of the cookie chairs in my area is going to call me.

CAN NOT wait until Em is old enough for Girl Scouts. I'm gonna be a leader and cookie chair and EVERYTHING! Just like my mother and her mother before her!

Our food-like perqs come down to whatever someone brings in and leaves on the kitchen table. And new as of January 2007 is that we are allowed to have a coffeemaker in the kitchen. I shit you not -- someone had asked Big!Boss a few years ago if she could bring in a coffeemaker for the entire office to use, and Big!Boss said no, you may not.

WTF?!?

But apparently he's relented, and now we have coffee! Which is kind of a perq, but not a company-provided perq, as we all chip in by bringing in coffee, filters, and cream/sugar/etc. The company doesn't subsidize my caffeine addiction (but my co-workers do).

I think ultimately, we complain about whatever. It's kinda just there, you know?

There's this certain air molecule two feet in front of me (and a little to the right) that just sucks!!!

Probably belongs to Teppy.

Nah, I saw a name tag on it that said "Property of Lee the Sucktastic."

Britney Spears is back out of rehab.

I heard a rumour that pharmaceutical sales reps were all really pretty. Every time I go to my migraine specialist there are tons of nattily dressed people lugging rolling suitcases who look suspiciously goodlooking--so far I haven't seen any reps who disprove this theory.

True?

I was reading some of the details of the circumstances in which my GP and other affiliated docs would see pharma reps, and the rep had to cater for twenty odd people even if they only were trying to get to one doctor.

Sweet.

We also have...wait for it...a water cooler in the department main office that does both cold and hot water!!!!!!

Wow! The theatre I'm at the most just has an M&M vending machine.

Yeah, I think I just breathed it. It might have participated in a chemical reaction with a hydrocarbon by now....

Sounds like a slutty one.

The phrase "e pluribus unum" originally comes from a recipe for salad dressing.

I thought it was just salad.
