Note to Self
March 30, 2007
It is never a good thing when you've sucked all the chocolate off of your miniature Heath Bar and pushed it as far out of your mouth as possible, while carefully balancing it between your teeth, in an effort to see the color of the bar's innards* without having to touch it with your fingers. Because right at that moment, your boss will walk up to your cubicle door.
* Was toffee-colored, as suspected.

I swear you stepped right out of Office Space.

LOL HA! This totally fits with my office faux pas post I just put up today. :D
That's okay, one time in elementary school, when I sat at the back of the classroom, I had this strange thing about taking one of those hairbrushes that has the plastic bristles where each bristle has a ball at the end, and I would stick it inbetween my tooth and my braces, in the area where the braces wire stretched from tooth to tooth. I have no idea why I did this. At any rate, one time the hairbrush got stuck. So there I was with a hairbrush hanging from my mouth. I hoped nobody noticed, but I doubt it.

I appreciate that you are willing to sacrifice your dignity and perform these important scientific experiments for the benefit (and enjoyment) of your readers.

I miss working with real people. I also haven't had a Heath bar in some time. I wish it wasn't so late right now. I'd run out and get one. Or some Heath bar ice cream. That'd be good too.

I love it. I was caught checking the color of my underwear one day.

I can totally see you doing this. haha. What did your boss say?

Are you really reading Tolstoy?
For some reason that shocks me more than the whole Heath bar incident.

Katie, I am insulted! Do you forget who I am?
Do you forget the hours I spent reading as an English major?
Or how I roped my girlfriends into a book club because I needed to read certain books for my classes? (That was TOTALLY the inspiration for the Jane Austen book club, by the way!)

I know, I know and as i read my comment I thought it might be a little snarky. BUT, in my defense, I also remember that we spent more time eating fondue and talking than ever reading.
You were an English major and had a hefty collection of books so I am at fault. No insult needed.

I've always wanted to read that book, but GOSH, it's THICK!
Let me know if it's worth it. I think I'll have to wait until school's finished anyway.

For some reason, this seems like classic Chirky. Without the drawing. :)

I was beginning to think that you inhaled it and you now have "Toffee Lung" but alas, it was embarassment, not near death which plagued you.

Oh, wow! Embarrassing!!! :)
