Meeting Hell

Okay, today the meetings totally cover the lunch hour(s). This is not a happy thing in my book. Less happy because there were no bagels left downstairs and the pre-done salads were all covered in cheese (um, why?), though there was plenty of fresh fruit, which I find myself buying more often these days - I've made apples and oranges my snack of choice here at the new job since they're readily available and generally cheaper than a candy bar, which I can't eat anyway because of the milk. Grabbed an apple and an orange, but that is not going to tide this boy over. May run out after the 1 pm meeting lets out and see what I can scavenge up then.

L'Enfant plaza needs a good indian food place. ;-p Maybe we can talk the guys who run the ones at Union Station and the Post Office Pavillion into opening one down here?

Lunch

Lunch was a quickly grabbed veggie burger. :) Da boss was right, the 4th floor snackbar's veggie burger was pretty good (better than the cafeteria's, even).

The apple, on the other hand, was mealy. Ick. Nothing worse than a mealy apple.

One of my many meetings today was on a really cool research project/opinion I'm going to get to write on our relationship with our major contractors. (and yes, I am a geek, even among attorneys, because I do consider this a neat project) Part history lesson, part legal analysis, this will go back to the beginnings of this Big Government Agency and its predecessors and will be a major policy statement once it's done. I <3 my job. :)

Excuses to drink

Gotta love holidays that give you an excuse to go drink with former coworkers. ;-) Three guinnesses later I was a happy, albeit not obnoxiously so, person.

Then on the taxi ride home it started snowing. Ewww! Heaven willing this is it for snow this year!

Home to a lovely PBJ for dinner (didn't feel up to making anything more than that), then email and the like. Whee. :-)
