Things I think about while I'm out getting lunch:

- God damn it it's cold again and the wind is helpfully attempting to slice my face off. Winter is demoralizing ( Read more... )

What's wrong with being taller than everyone else? And if you wear heels, you get to be even more taller!

You make an excellent point, but I don't actually like being a giantess at all. (Then there's the whole taller-than-your-husband discussion; it works for some women, but I don't like it.)

I am fairly sure that The Young Professional Look is not in my future, but I will go to the mat for my oversized bag. IT HOLDS EVERYTHING. What the problem is?

P.S. I agree with Sims re: height.

Okay, true. But the purse is not to blame! Baby, bathwater. :)

(I really like this purse.)

It seems to be a certain style of oversized bag, too; all bling and wrinkly, saggy leather, usually black but occasionally something bright and blinding.

Not to knock oversized bags in general, though! I carry a messenger bag to work that is often quite full, depending on how many books I have and if I'm bringing lunch tupperware home.

Winter is demoralizing.

Winter in NYC >:(

While complaining about work online is unprofessional and inadvisable, I doubt that I'm going to get in trouble for pointing out that at least two of the cold-water faucets in the main bathroom are purely ornamental.

I've encountered broken cold-water faucets in university or medical-complex bathrooms more often than one would expect. What up??

I wonder, if I had a balled-up piece of paper, if I could hit that pigeon in the back of the head.

Yes.

GOD EVERYBODY STOP SMOKING

Hah! Yeah, if there's more than one person smoking in my immediate vicinity, I start feeling icky. One smoker is kind of pushing it, actually.

There seems to be a certain look that all young professional women in New York have and I don't. Pin-straight hair and an ugly oversized bag seem to be part of that look. I rock neither.I don't endorse that look either, although I tick both boxes (no leather bags; I've seen those and they are, if possible, even more ungainly). The professional look should accommodate people ( ... )

I've tried to refrain from blogging about smokers, but living in New York has long since pushed me over the slippery slope and I'm well into the abyss of madness and strangely gratifying fantasies of physical violence beneath. Every damn day I'm breathing someone else's secondhand smoke. In my opinion, no human being should have smoke leaking from their mouth unless they are secretly a malfunctioning robot.

if you're already taller than almost everyone, what's another inch or two?
