Another round of agent queries going out. God, I freaking HATE this part of the process.

My assistant just brought me chocolate-covered strawberries that he made himself. This office is MAGIC.

I wish I had magic chocolate covered strawberries.... But tomorrow, I'll be getting beer from the local brewery.
And next week, kittens. I'm curious as to how my brother and the cats will react, even though the kittens will not be in the main part of the house.

Hey, beer, chocolate, and strawberries? Why pick just one?

Right? At my last job, someone brought me a jar of homemade kahlua, but I was pretty sure it had botulism in it.

A student whose laptop I fixed the other day brought me some home made onion marmalade. It was SO good! Usually people bring me wine or chocolate. It was nice to get something I actually eat. (I keep trying to like wine and failing and I'm allergic to some, but not all, chocolate... Never figured out which sort, so I avoid most of it.)Hope everyone's week is better now that Friday is almost here! I'm just listening to my cats trill as they chase some sort of bug. Hopefully it's the little barstid that scared the bejeebus out of me a few minutes ago when it landed on my ear and then flopped down onto my bed. *shudder* |

Thanks for all the finger-crossing, everyone. You may desist now, story sold.
