Of course, now I get to spend the next week stewing over the application, which is always fun.
You don't just get to write your name and title on it???
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I was just filling up my bottle at the water fountain near the bathroom. As I was putting the cap back on, someone emerged from the cubicles near the bathrooms, walked past me, and said, "You look fantastic!"
I've never officially met this woman in my life nor exchanged any words with her, just seen her around the office.

Well today turned out to be crap. Something I was working on got reviewed and there were errors in it. Not major ones, but still. My responsibility, I totally accept that.

I've been in New York less than six hours and a pigeon (I hope it was a pigeon) has shit IN my bag. I missed this place.
