 gretchen: bus has wifi?
 me: yes
  ow my whole being
  commuting will take some suffering used to
 gretchen: how does this commute work?
  where is your yahoo place
  i don't think it's called an office anymore
 me: when it's that big
  it's called the belly of the beast
 the specific route i took today was shuttle each way
  about 1.8 hours
 gretchen: really?
  1.8 hours each way?
 me: yes
  just about
 gretchen: oh my god.
  horrible.
 me: 7 am -> 7pm total roundtrip
  there are alternate routes
 gretchen: it's very FAR to the belly of teh beast, isn't it
 do they give you lattes and croissants on the bus
  with the free wireless?
 me: no but free when you arrive
 gretchen: oh, that helps.
  but they should have them on the bus.
  seriously.
  and masseurs
  this is the
  new economy
 me: people at yahoo scorn perks that are too perky
  seen as being too like google
 gretchen: oh
 me: the idea being you should have your own masseur at home
 gretchen: google is richer though
  oh, right
  forgot
 and also maybe some kind of exclusive in home montessori school
 me: they offer free daycare
 gretchen: right
  better than google then
 me: ow my whole being
  i don't know what to do
 gretchen: masseuse at home
  clearly.
 me: umf

I've been home 43 minutes, just putting off going to Wally's. Wally's is friendly and it's the only place I'd dine alone, I'm too tired to do anything at home, but I'd so much prefer not to go out by myself. Gretchen says, "i think you should have sushi and pretend to be an 80s japanese business man. drink sake. maybe wear a suit." But alone I can't brave the marble and disco and neon of Miyozen, however much verisimilitude.
