Sometimes I write posts and delete them only to get emails because people still read it in their feeds. Damn Google Reader and its insistence on showing off posts that I don’t like while taking forever to find the ones that I DO like…
What I meant on Friday, in a nutshell, is that striving for a certain goal is invigorating, exciting and insanely fun to me. Even still, reaching that goal or getting glimpses of success always makes me feel nervous, humbled and lucky beyond all reason – in a do-I-deserve-this kind of way.
That’s why last week was strange. In a good way. Except now I feel like I have to be ridiculously good-looking (let the push-ups begin!) and nonstop funny for the 20SB meet-up because Jamie keeps leading the Ben propaganda train. Which I won’t be. Because I will be too giddy and starstruck by all of you. And I’ll be embarrassed because you’ll all realize that I pronounce LOL as LOL and not EL-OH-EL and I can’t stop myself.
And drunk. I’ll be very drunk the entire time. Alice and I are going to share a room and blog-under-the-influence repeatedly. We joked about it but I just made it official. Poor Alice…
And no…neither the puppehs nor the newf will be joining me.
You know, so I can sleep around and not have to pick up poop and stuff…
Boston 2009: be good to me.

damn it. it's 12:49 in the morning and now i want some peanut m&ms.
but am not motivated enough to leave couch.
alas.
Whatever happened to the purple anyway?
Our bookkeeper has a jar of Starburts on the corner of her desk. Every time I walk by her desk, I have to eat one. Especially the orange ones!
You might want to get some help for this little problem, lol ;-p
Today is the first day I have been truly worried about losing my job.
I’m not kidding.
I need life to throw me a bone right now.
I have candy in my office, but I don’t share it with anyone. The last thing I want is peeps in my office. Go away! Do not disturb!
sour keys & eggies? what are those, strange canadian candies??
i don't actually like peanut m&ms. i don't like nuts getting in the way of my delicious delicious chocolate.
I have chocolate in my living room. It’s in a Serenity lunchbox. Dane got it for me for Valentine’s Day.
I’m not kidding.
What the hell are sour keys and eggies?!?
We all brought in candy (or baked goods!) at some point, but I ALWAYS had the Jelly Belly dispenser in my office! Now it’s in the corner of my living room. I bet they miss it… err, ME! I bet they miss ME!
I’m going to make one of my job requirements that there be chocolate available at all times. Deal breaker!
Oh my God, I laughed so hard reading this, I used to be the candy lady at my last job and now I know why there was those “looks” on their faces!
Peanut M & M's = delicious
Peanut Butter M & M's = heaven coated in a chocolate melt in your mouth not in your hand shell
Your boss = awesome
I'd probably be fired if they knew I was blogging during breaks at work.
I bet next week (when you all will be already super addicted to them) she’ll take all the candies away with her (that’s what bosses do)(no, I don’t know bosses) and then she’ll publicly tell all of you “If you don’t increase productivity to 400% (as if you were Chinese- not to offend chinese people) You won’t get a fucking candy” “Nevermore” buahahaha
I’m not sure there’s a Candy Anonymous, but you’re headed there.
I would LOVE it if my boss had a candy supply.
That kind of boss would be the best.
(Hi Ben’s boss! *waves* Can Ben at least leave an hour early today? No?)
Sorry Ben, I tried.
mmmm….peanut m&m's …mmmmm.
Dan’s office tried that, then they found him running around giggling with an empty candy dish on his head and no pants.
Seriously, the guy has NO will power when it comes to candy.
I used to keep a candy bowl on the counter for our employees but the downside was I ate most of it. I think it was for me mostly. Thank goodness I really don’t like chocolate much.
I used to have a boss just like this, oh how I miss that job.
Peanut M&Ms ARE the best. Your boss is the best boss of them all!
It’s a trick! She is just an enabler and she is going to get you hooked and then take it away and demand you work overtime.
At least that’s what my job did with their Free Porn Fridays.
I think you need to get your own jar or something.
Or maybe not. At least you’re burning a few calories every time you get up to go to the candy jar, right?
