They are giving us a cupcake party this afternoon. I have a sneaking suspicion they are also going to show us the final plans for the new building, and the cupcakes are there to make the staff feel less completely screwed, which won't work, but still, cupcakes.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Now I want cupcakes and I've already had way too many TJ's cocoa truffles that someone at work put in our mail room. I was planning on making red velvet cupcakes for work tomorrow, but now I think I'm going to pass.

Got an extra pat down at Security even though I went through the scanner. Not sure what THAT was about.

I really want a milkshake, but it's snowing again. Ice cream shops should deliver.

New building is bad?
This is the cupcake I bought on Tuesday but was too full to eat then. It got superseded by the Neapolitan cake yesterday. Still good today!

TJ's cocoa truffles
I want. NOM!!! Or a cupcake. I'm not picky. I have the stuff to bake cupcakes but I'm still all up in the ick and I hate cooking when I'm sick. No matter how many times I wash my hands and cough away from what I'm cooking, I feel like I'm just brewing more germs.

New building was planned before we acquired attorneys and staff from another firm. New building really not big enough.

I feel your pain, Lee. They moved my division into the building we're in now to consolidate us all in one place (we were in three or four different buildings - it was before my time by 6 months.) Five years later and we're back to being in three buildings. We went from around 90 employees when I started to over 160 today. And now the governor wants to cut our budget for the next two years by 300 million dollars. Oy. Can't wait for the fallout from that!

Pretty much.
That was to the oops, but the waiting for the fallout applies too.
