I am checking my e-mail, b.org, livejournal, and staring forlornly at my work inboxes waiting for something to do.
You could write porn!
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My brother's a grad student in cancer research, so he scores most food from lectures and presentations and whatnot. Though his boss'll drop by with meals brought direct to her office too (she "owns" several labs and scary amounts of grant money, so pharmaheavily courts her. ) She's crazy, but she shares.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I thought it was just salad.
It may be. I don't have any actual knowledge. I just have an internet connection and episodes of QI.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is she completely hetrosexual now?
Different rehab. She's now no longer homophobic.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We provide a water cooler, coffee, microwave popcorn (our office) or fruit (Minneapolis office). Also a pizza meal for everyone once per quarter.

We provide [...] microwave popcorn
That'd make me feel like the biggest party pooper ever. Still haven't found a brand of microwave popcorn whose smell isn't a migraine trigger.

When I lived in Seattle I was in a study where I had to eat salmon at every meal.
Oh my gawd. That's hilarious. And...uhg.
My brother does a lot of these things. The only one that was really problematic was the one where he didn't notice that they'd need him in the hospital overnight on his wedding anniversary. That's really the only one that was any danger to his health. Cause his wife about killed him.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Every time I go to my migraine specialist
Have you gone recently? If so, did you mention the drug treatment I found?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
we have cooler bottle water, hot water for tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. Sugar Free Hot Chocolate no less! Also, regular and marshmallow hot chocolate. I like the sugar free because there's like no difference in taste and I don't feel quite so guilty about it.
Also, occasional leftover food from lunches, and the occasional provided breakfast or whatnot.

Big Pharma hands out much more than free food. They fly physicians to resorts for the weekend, so that they can hear a 10 minute "information sesssion" on their drugs. They fly researchers to the same resort and pay them $10,000 to provide the 10 minute information session.
They'll even write your scientific papers for you. You don't have to design the study or collect any data or analyze the data or interpret the results. All you have to do is put your name down as the author, with the comforting legitimacy of your university's name coming along with you. They manipulate every aspect of health research, and the quality of health care is compromised because of it.
