Thursday I went out for drinks with my coworkers after work, and ended up going out to dinner with them as well. I work with some really cool people and it felt good to have some sembalance of a social life. For future reference though, I wouldn't recommend Cafe Prague. In the past, my coworker swears they had the best goulash and tomato soup, but our goulash came out lukewarm (and took forever to come), and in her opinion, the soup has gone downhill.
Its ok, though. Friday we ordered lunch from House of Nanking, since most of us were too busy to take lunch since we were rushing on a project, and it was among the best Chinese food I've ever had. For sure the best moo shu pork, delicious string beans, fried tofu, everything was tops.
As for work, its been really busy - I've been working on a project in St. Kitts, and the PM is going down there next week (we all feel really sorry for him) for a site visit, so we had to prepare a bunch of stuff for him. I used to get so hungry at my old job, and I'm thinking its because I was so bored, becuase before I know it, its usually 1 or 2 and I have to remind myself to eat.
And now for some random thoughts...
- There was a minor fire near our office on Friday, so the firetruck was parked in front of one of our windows. I took particular notice of it because 1) I have never seen a female firefighter before and 2) I have never seen an Asian firefighter before.
- I think my street is the hilliest one to have busses on it. I should really stop trying to anything besides listen to my ipod on it because I get motion sick.
- The new Death Cab for Cutie album rocks.
- I picked up a bag today at Urban Outfitters that is perfect. Its a super tote bag - I couldn't resist! It has slim outside pockets on both sides, so I can put my bus pass on the outside, but keep my phone on the inside for when I have it on vibrate. It has a zip pocket on the side on the outside that is perfect for my ipod. Its large enough to fit a book and a newpaper, but not huge if its empty. I'm in love.
- I've been covetting this as well. KQED is giving it away as a membership thank-you gift. I normally donate to WNYC, but didn't this year since I was in California, so maybe I'll donate out here instead.....

Sounds like you got the Ill Parcel. I've been using one as my primary purse for the last year or so and I LOVE it.
Yes, that is it - I love it! So versitile!
