online shopping

so frustrating. i order something online last week, and i can see that they've gotten the billing information. (had it for a week, now). but for some reason, the stuff i've ordered hasn't actually been shipped. what a nuisance, esp since i'll be away next week. i probably should've paid extra for the super-fast shipping. (i'm cheap. but now i'll be more likely to do that.)

and i can't call the vendor, just email. feh.

(and yet, most other things have arrived without difficulty. why is it the stuff i most want to get here is the one with the delays...?)

food at work

i was so proud of making a really nice salad for lunch today (assembled at work: romaine, mesclun, scallion, halved grape tomatoes, chopped up hard boiled egg, a spicy vinaigrette made at home).
(sad, that this is the most pleasing part of my workday. (well, other than boggle. i found donuts, not to mention mavens and ravens :-))

and then there's a building-wide holiday festival-of-sugar. most of which i can't (won't? where does kosher fall in that range?) eat, except for the immediately identifiable hershey's and reese's stuff. so of course to compensate, i eat far too much really-not-exciting chocolate.
ho-hum.

maybe the romaine will counteract the chocolate?
