The Adnostic

I've gone out to eat lunch with people from the office every day this week and what do I have to show for it? An empty wallet and an irrational fear of CARBS. Okay, to be fair, I've also gotten to know my coworkers better, have come to the conclusion that they're all really bright and knowledgeable about translating brands on the web, and have developed an irrational fear that I will be found out as a talent-less hack who should have never been hired in the first place.

Today I decided to go a different route and bring my lunch with me from home. This morning I had the choice between grocery store sushi and a yet to be made sandwich. The decision became remarkably easy after I discovered that the refrigerator froze my lettuce. Rock solid, people. I could have bashed someone's brain in with leafy greens should I have felt inclined.

Today was the day that everyone decided to forego walking across the street to the park and drive to In-n-Out. Granted, I could have joined them and enjoyed my poor excuse for Japanese cuisine while they savored their freshly made juicy burgers, but I opted to stay in, not bond, allow them to discuss my failings freely outside of my presence, and eat my cold fish next to the web analytics guy who openly hates people.

Cold fish indeed.
