Aug. 31st, 2006 11:24 amI did something stupid: I opened my bag of Moroccan ras el hanout spice mix to show it off to a coworker. Now my office smells SOOOO TASTY, and I'm starving! But I am morally incapable of eating lunch before noon. Brunch, sure. But if I have an actual breakfast, no matter how hungry I am, lunch must be at or after noon. I'm weird like that.
I promised to e-mail a soon-to-be coworker with the recipe for the ras el hanout, but...minor issue: there are two women in my new office who look VERY similar. Both short. Both thin. Both have short hair of the same dark brown, cut in very similar styles. Both are pale and wear glasses. Now, I can tell the difference between them. This isn't the problem. I can distinguish which one I'm talking to. But...I can't remember which name goes with which person! Ack! OH WAIT! Now I do. I remember because it's T who has a cubicle and J who has an office, and the one in the cubicle had the wrist brace, and that's the one I was talking to! YAY! I thought so, but I wasn't positive, so I was afraid to e-mail the wrong person. I'm sure they get that A LOT though.
*is pleased with self for tricks of memory*
This afternoon there's going to be a reception for my boss, who's leaving MIT. This means good snackies and schmoozing for almost two hours. It's in a different building, and everyone in this office is going. I was a bit worried about what I'd do with the stuff in the fridge here that I need to make dinner tonight, since this office gets locked up when everyone leaves it, and I don't have a key. Fortunately, someone who DOES will be coming back here after the reception, so I'll come with her and get my stuff. Since there will be snackies at the reception, I think I will have a light and early-ish lunch, RIGHT at noon, so I won't be too full for dinner, what with lunch and snackies and suchlike.
I'm in a perky mood today, particularly since someone else took care of the slightly messy travel rearrangement I was going to have to do today. So be warned.

Aug. 31st, 2006 12:54 pmOh, I totally forgot to mention one of the things that has me in such a good mood: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pierceheart booked us a dinner-and-dancing cruise in the Boston Harbor next Thursday! Squee! My first cruise date! :D I haven't been on a cruise since my high school's Senior Supper!
Now, to decide what the heck to wear. I have no summery cocktail dresses. Just casual dresses and nice sundresses, and a not-so-summery black retro-looking cocktail dress. Bah. This may take some creativity.
