I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Because books.
I would kill for a bagel from Essa Bagel right now. Even here outside Philly, the bagels just ain't the same.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Kat, nope, no new job, Just a new desk. IN AN OFFICE WITH A DOOR.
Woot!

(Sorry, Brooklyn reflexes. Ask one of the old-timers to tell you about the NYCistas in Panera on Saturday morning at the first F2F...)
I really think I need to hear this story!

Hey Jessica, is Dylan in preschool now?
Yes, though the distinction between preschool and daycare is pretty fuzzy. The place he's at now is 2-6 year-olds with a preschool curriculum during the school year. He won't qualify for NYC public preK until next fall. (And even then we'll probably keep him in his current school because public preK is half-day here, and there's no kindergarten placement advantage for preK students unless they're at their zoned school, where they'd get in ANYWAY.)

Our head IT guy sounds *exactly* like Ricky Gervais. It's quite distracting.

Now I have to work and I don't wanna.

I wasn't there myself, but I am sure the upshot was that there are Very Few Actual Bagel Flavors, such as: plain, egg, sesame, onion, garlic, poppyseed, salt, and everything.

My mother and I have chocolate chip bagels every Saturday morning and try to pretend we aren't having chocolate chips for breakfast.
One...Two...Three. Eat a muffin, whitey!
(Does someone have the RIO post on tap, so zuisa knows what the hell I'm talking about?)
Yay, door! There's nothing more precious in cubeland.

Rio in natter on the white man's need for flavored bagels:
the bagel thing fits in with my larger theory about white people and muffins. I don't have time to go into detail right now, but basically the thing is: White people just want to eat muffins 24/7, but they are ashamed of this fact, so they take totally good yummy foods like bagels and coffee and ice cream and turn it all into muffins. Hence stuff like the blueberry bagel. The caramel latte. The chunky chocolate-almond-caramel-fudge ice cream. JUST EAT A FRELLING MUFFIN, WHITEY! That is what I say.
