for when i venture outside the box

I work in a cubicle in an office full of cubicles this year at my field placement. It's strange, as years of Dilbert comics can attest, to work this way. People do weird things like cutting their fingernails or burping when seemingly isolated from their co-workers.

The company provides coffee and tea for its employees. After sampling all three varieties of Farmer Brothers coffee, I would recommend the Columbian. I'm pretty sure the blends for the Northwestern and French roast are full of robusta because they give me the jitters. You'll have to bring your own cream, but this is a good way to push through those chin-high modual wall structures. Perhaps one day I'll meet "Megan" who always has her organic cream appropriately labeled with her name in the communal fridge.

I like to take my time walking back with my cup of coffee. It gives me a chance to enjoy all the cat photos posted in each cube. Hang in there!

empty glass

my rain boots leaked. the homework i thought was going to be easy is hard. midterms are looming. defensive and taking things too personal. and i forgot my minty green tea.
