Actually, this reminds me of my rage at I think it's V8, with the ads that say "people who have five servings of vegetables (or whatever) lose weight. But it's hard to eat that many! So drink our juice!" I'm pretty sure eating vegetables helps you lose weight because it fills you up, unlike the juice...

The 11th floor is the first floor where I have rights to open the door.

I guess going up, it really doesn't matter if you don't have access to a floor you don't work on. But going down, in case of fire, well, I guess you wouldn't want to stop off on the 10th, 9th, 8th, etc. and I'm sure you can open the door going down, just not up. Still, I'm kinda boggling. I guess that's what working in a much taller building will do for you.

Definitely a kitchen sink type peach. There may have been slurping involved.

I decline to answer the fruit question, just to be ornery.

So there.

Should I start keeping my carrots in the counter, a la tomatoes? The fridge makes them so weird.

How do you mean, weird? I would think carrots kept at room temperature would be apt to lose moisture and go all limp, but maybe they wouldn't and keeping them on counter would be fine.

Just placed my order for my fall/winter clothes. I didn't order too many because my mom is sending me out a box since I'm now down to the size she was at last winter. I'm not sure of all that's in the box, but I do know she's sending me out her really nice long wool winter coat (one of those classicly styled ones that go to mid-calf and cost big bucks to buy new) and a bunch of pants and shirts.

What I got online just now are a few mock turtlenecks, longsleeved crewnecked shirts, a couple of cheap sweatshirts ($8 each) and some bras. Only spent $80--not too bad! (Mom and sis told me that my Playtex ones I just bought at the store last week make my boobs too pointy--I just thought they make the b-cups look a bit bigger, but not pointy! They also told me my now-curly [since my surgery and coloring] hair needs an updated haircut. It's too old-looking in my standard cut.)

I've never been one to be dramatic about haircuts; I am generally of the "it's hair, it grows" camp, but I just got my hair cut and I hate it so much I kind of want to go hide in a dark corner where I don't have to look at anyone for the next six months.

Fruit: blueberries with my yogurt, and I'm about to see if the peach I've got is still good.

Math: have you met me? No. I avoid math, thanks.

Oh my god I just shed actual tears over this haircut. People everywhere are dealing with actual legitimate issues and here I am weeping over hair. I feel like I have just regressed in age ten years or something.

ita! Tell your anti-doodling boss that people who doodle learn faster.
