not that anyone actually reads this, but sorry for being lazy, lazy lazy. since last we met i discovered an even better salad place than the one i can never go again. this place charges you one flat rate for ALL THE INGREDIENTS YOU WANT. my first couple of times there i went a bit crazy. but when faced with the option to choose artichoke hearts and olives and roasted red peppers and sprouts and chickpeas AND CHEESE and not have my salad cost $87 dollars, well i just could not control myself. my salads weighed 7 pounds and the salad guys laughed at me, but it was so worth it. i’m really going to miss this place when i leave. see, in the midst of avoiding the creepy salad guy and running conference calls i got a new job. a staff job. with paid vacation. and benefits. oh, and the crappy publishing salary that i’m absolutely not complaining about because at least it’s a job that i actually think i’ll like. there were a couple of hairy moments there, like when i had to change out of my dead giveaway interview blazer into a much less suspicious sweater in the lobby of a chase bank. twice. those were some memorable times. but as of right now i have a mere 4 days left at my temp job before i start my brand new job that i hopefully won’t be laid off from in 3 months. i fully expect to get laid of from this future job at some point–still being in publishing and all–but i’m hoping to last at least a couple of years. here’s hoping.
