The Plight of the working (wo)man

The lunchtime conundrum I am currently wrestling involves a few crucial details you, reader, must know before you can understand my dilema.

A: I work at a Non-Profit,  and I pretty much don’t relate to anyone on a social level besides my two fellow nerd friends (one of whom is a temp, and leaving). But they work really hard and dont often take time to go out to lunch. 

BUT, because I am a unionized employee, I am alloted one hour for lunch each day and nobody can stop me! When I first started working here I could really make the most of this hour. Before I realized that my paycheck was not made of rubber and would not stretch forever, I went to stores (a small sampling of the commerce nearby: The Gap, Bannana Republic, BLOOMINGDALES [!!], H&M and Urban Outfitters). When it was beautiful out, I casually strolled around the neighborhood finding restaurants and landmarks to gawk at (I’m still new to this city and not above gawking. I’m a gawker. It’s ok.) But now that its cold and now that I’ve realized that most of the restaurants around here are shit (nothing worse than a bad tuna sandwich, BLECH) I pretty much just go downstairs, grab food at one of the 3 places I can still stand, and come back to my desk to do some web surfing.

Problem: even this is getting old. Facebook is blocked (fascists!), I rarely get interesting GMails and now that Britney is being watched 24/7, Lindsay is sober, and Amy Winehouse really DID go to rehab, Perez is blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

So I figured I could use this time to blog. Becuase I am determined to take my hour, damnit, I WILL HAVE MY HOUR! And this is a good waste of time.

 So here’s today’s blog:

 uhhhhhhhh…

 I had Udon noodles for lunch today. Yum! I rarely (never) bring my lunch. Yuck, then I’d never get out of the office. I had egg and cheese on toast for breakfast. That’s bad: I never get that. I just did today because its Valentines Day. That might not make sense to you, but it makes sense to me!

Tonight: LOST, Tomorrow: Friday! Woohey! Can’t say whats for lunch tomorrow but i’m sure it will be thrilling and you’ll want to read about it.

I hope you have as great a day in your cubical as I plan on having in mine! I may dance later, WHO KNOWS!?

Happy Valentines Day 

BYE.
