google doodle--christmas eve...

happy holidays to all!

coffee thought...

so today is all about tepid--

 like I am drinking tepid chocolate vs hot chocolate because

every time I sit at my desk I am called away to do something else.

and where did the word tepid come from??

[according to dictionary.com 14th century. Latin tepidus/   tepere "be warm"/ of course!]

It is something that I wish-- this chocolate was warm but it is not.

that's all...

coffee thought...

Aww grandma just called me to make sure my car was moved for alternate side parking.

She does love me!

Lol

Anyway what's has been going on in the world lately?

Late nights and long days and not entirely all fun either.

Two nights in a row working until 9 pm is not something "I get paid for".

 There is something absurdly off about the dedication I have to my job.

I haven't found the work/life balance that all the magazines talk about

seeing a how [more currently than not] my work is my life-

and what happens when it ain't enough?

Clearly I have cultivated this aspect is self to perfection greatness

yet the remaining parts aren't complete-

like trying to cook a 5 course meal and I am 2 courses short

 (meanwhile in my not so distant past I would have said

I was 7 courses short for the 5 course meal-

see what a lil life lessons will get ya!)
Anywho, time to make that $$$$that's all.

Train Stories

What is very interesting/ listening to the conversation of these folks in the commute this late evening home I am basically listening to them talk about counting cards in Vegas (she didn't know she was counting them even though she was counting them) and doing a ponzi scheme bad bad and doing some tricks making bankers give you back more change than the correct amount of change for a $20 bill. All of this petty crime stuff for two Asians. Weird. Is this what the economy has come to?

Free lunch today!

looks good! I should be
a still food photographer...

Today, I got a free lunch from Pret A Manger that just opened up on 1 Astor place here in NYC.

• Reviews:  The crowds of folks cheering you on as you stand on a line that moved swiftly was enthusiastic (pause)  fervently animated, keen and excited to say the least. They gave you high-fives as you were whisked in and handed a bag and high-fived on the way out.
• Very forced festive.
• Food:  It looks good. The 1/2 sandwich was a chicken/ avocado/ bacon something on this multi grain bread. Fail. Save for the multi grain bread <<--Allergic tendencies-->> it was a success--- but I picked the parts I could eat off the 1/2 sandwich. That tasted good. The organic sea salt popcorn was OMG good. Who knew organic popcorn would be a hit! That brownie I gave away <<more allergic issues>> and the soup lid & coffee sleeve there entitles me to a free coffee and a free soup whenever I turn them in. Great promotional scheme to guarantee return visits cause who doesn't like free stuff??

All in all part of the NYC experience and it was a good snack- I supposed if I had a whole edible sandwich it would have been amazing.

now..back to our regularly scheduled progra

coffee thought...

Note:
I am so over people and their cryptic messages
WHAT in the HELL is wrong with being damn ass DIRECT!
If you  have something to say, how about you say it-- why post some damn ass mystery and expect everyone to be all whooo hoo happy for you and oooh what's up-- really it is
PATHETIC and trifling and seriously a cry for help.
Do me a favor-- participate in the "free cause you are employed but not for long" therapy your employment offers and work on yourself.

Signed,
Management.


that's all...
