1) Rugbyism of the day: Sitting on the couch talking to Mom after the bar/before bed.
Rugby: Oh, you live in Cambridge? Oh man I hate that place. Cambridge Center sucks.
Mom: There is no place called “Cambridge Center”.
Rugby: Oh, I mean Cambridge Square.
Mom: That place doesn’t exist either.
Rugby: Oh, I mean Cambridge Square Center.
Mom: …
Rugby: ::blank stare::
Mom: OK, there is Harvard, Central, Davis… there is NO thing called Cambridge Square or Center. So how can you hate Cambridge if you don’t even know what Cambridge is?
Rugby: Oh, I mean I just wouldn’t want to live there.
Mom: Yep, that’s not an answer. Cool. Good job.
2) Lay-offs are tomorrow. My boots are heavy. I’m down in China town. All the negative feelings I could feel are currently being felt. Don’t think I am ignoring if I don’t comment or write tomorrow. Even if I don’t get ousted, the day is going to be heavy with crying and hugging and just bad bad times. I will try to update you as soon as I know something.
3) And to leave you on a lighter note (stupid idiots and terrible corporate america are NOT uplifting) here is something you should know about me that is embarrassing/gross/also funny:
Whenever I am alone and eating salad or some other leafy situation, I like to shove a lot in my mouth and leave some lettuce hanging out. I then chew it slowly into my mouth. I like the challenge of this and I have been doing it since I was little because I am pretending I am Littlefoot or Spike from The Land Before Time original movie when they are munching on treestars. I always loved that scene when Spike is first born and he munches all the grass around his egg in six bites. I have always, always wanted to eat something in this manner.

Land Before Time ruled!
Eating food in the manner you described does not rule…at all…you may have lost some awesome points…but gained them back for being honest…so you really you lost nothing.

Hmmm… sorry to hear about the work stress. I dealt with a career change a few month backs due to the economy (went from finance to internet marketing.. yay).
your whole salad eating thing is delightfully quirky

There are so many good reasons to hate Boston…why would a person need to make one up?

Hope everything goes okay. Chin up.
Also, I totally want to eat salads that way now! Must find solo consumption time…

[...] a good guy from the internet, of all places. What if she was going to be stuck in LA with a Rugby-esque idiot? I needed her to be prepared for this [...]
