Reason #56 why it’s fun to work where I work: the people. The people also probably is reasons # 1 – 55, or at least is a big part of it. Let’s take Ginger, for instance. Ginger is known for her baking. The 14th floor all knows Ginger for her amazing cakes. And if you are on the 14th floor and you don’t know, then I’m sorry because you are missing out. Indeed, when I was on the 16th floor, I was lucky enough to have a few scouts on 14 to alert me when a certain chocolate mocha cake was present, so that I could find a reason to mosey on down to 14 and have a taste. Ahhh.

Anyway, Ginger and I went running this one time (truthfully, just the one time. It’s been quite busy at work, and I am there to, work and stuff). Ginger forgot some socks. And, because I have also forgotten socks before (and underwear, and bras, and everything else I can think of), I always keep extra pairs with me (in my backpack, in my desk drawer, in my gym bag). So I was able to lend her a pair.

A week or two later she came by to return them, and ALSO dropped off this delicious blueberry coffee cake.

Aren’t I the lucky one? And based on these recent blog posts, is there any real wonder why my weight has crept up this summer? The pieces are all finally coming together. In my mouth.
