dragonlady7At work, I have an electric kettle, and make myself tea every morning.
This morning I put sugar into the cup, and then added the boiling water, and looked at it for a long moment. Something was amiss.
Ah.
Yes, one normally adds tea of some sort to the cup with one method or another when one is attempting to make tea, that tends to help it turn out right.
I had a granola bar with the tea I eventually succeeded in making, and absorbed myself in various tasks.
Coming on toward noon, I began to get hungry, but at work, I typically don't eat until closer to 1pm, maybe even later. I fretted a little; the granola bar is normally reserved for an afternoon snack, but I was hungry early this morning and it was starting to give me a sour stomach.
It took me fifteen minutes of this distracted fretting to remember I packed myself yogurt and granola for breakfast, as I also do every day, and had forgotten to eat it, and that was why I was hungry before it was lunch time.
(I'm doing great, how are you?)
After work I have a date. I'm going to go downtown and meet Dude at the Central Library, and we're going to go borrow all the books I looked up online that are located there, because it costs twenty-five cents to have them sent to the library by our house, but the Central library, where most of the inventory is, is basically next door to the office where Dude works.
After we have borrowed every book in the library, we will go out to dinner. I haven't thought about where, but there are so many places down there. Which is lovely, because when we first lived here, there wasn't much right downtown. It's a nice change!
My coworker went into the bathroom 35 minutes ago and I was about to go do some things in another room but then i was like oh I shouldn't leave the phone unattended, I'll wait until he's out, and now i'm like listen I have shit to do, I'm going to abandon this phone. I wish he'd said, "hey I might be a while!" but also, he does this every day, and never takes a lunch break, and how is that the state of modern capitalism that we can only take breaks to shit, and only that because they can't make us take the work phone in there. that might be the next evolution of the hellscape? idk man.
