posting has been half-assed and i apologize. for some reason, i can't post at work anymore without being overcome by guilt.

but i'm at work now. this week is the week of the distance learners. they all come in to chicago to take intensive seminar classes, use the library and eat the food we provide. what they don't eat, we get. yesterday i had a bagel for breakfast, eggplant parmesan for lunch and the option of a bagel for an afternoon snack. today was skirt steak with grilled veggies and brownies. its pretty glamorous here, these days. good thing since i'm housesitting for my parents who have no food in their house. last night for dinner i had a tin of sardines and some olives. i'm sorry but thats just so wrong. you ask your daughter to spend a week out in the suburbs where every store is closed by 8pm and you don't provide her with food? such injustice! well, at least there's another tin of sardines for tonight.
