Small pleasures and all that

[castalie]

Something I love about working here is that you can take your time in the morning to settle in the new work day. I mean, when I worked at Disney Store eons ago, there was no way to start the day calmly. It was all about jump in your uniform and go to the floor; no cappuccino, nothing. Even when you started at 7.00 AM, had gotten up at 5.15, and really, really wished you could have something to make you just a little more aware of the world around you. Same thing with the other jobs I had.

But ever since I started working at the uni, it's different, and I just love the fact that I can make myself a little cappuccino and take it to my desk - or our wee coffee room whenever I have a couple of minutes to spare during the day - and just sip it while checking my (work related) mails. Such a smooth start, I love it :-) Incidentally, it's also a good indicator of how the day will go; sometimes I can't even start drinking aforementioned cappucino - in those cases, I know that chances are it's gonna be a long day.

State of my cup today? Unfinished, and I made it at 9.00, so. But it's okay because I helped solve a crisis and I finished another project, so I feel very accomplished as of right this minute - you never know what can happen in the course of an hour, so let's appreciate this moment of work-related satisfaction *appreciates*

And, obviously, I'm taking a little break now *waves*

Changing the subject. Blogs? Are love. Which, why yes, they are, I've had my LJ for more than five years now so it's not as if I had an epiphany or anything but, seriously, you have Neil Gaiman informing you that he's blogging in his bath, then telling you all about his guilt at having answered a journalist's question maybe a little too bluntly. You have Gerard Way complaining about cereals. Or Ryan explaining that he's sleeping on an air mattress in Brendon's guest room and feeling maybe a little jealous that Spencer seems to have a deluxe model and just - celebrities' blogs! Are so much love there's no words for it ♥ ♥

PS: Hey, London weather? Please not to be mean and force the Eurostar People to cancel our train on Saturday due to snow, ok? I'm really counting on our little FP weekend in your gorgeous city. Kthxbai.

ETA: It's snowing!

Et je viens juste de réaliser que j'ai laissé le muffin dans ton tiroir ! A mon avis, il va être un peu rassis, là. Enfin si ça n'est pas le cas, je te le laisse, tu pourras le déguster lundi :-)

Thanks! Things look promising right now so YAY LONDON TRIP!

I am waving hello from my own desk at Uni, where I am drinking latte ;-)

And blogs are, indeed, love ♥

I just love the idea of you taking a little break at the same time I did, and drinking your own latte :-)

Mouse, there's finally a Starbucks in Bucharest within visitable range for me! This is big news and I felt you should be the first with whom to share. :)

(The other three were in huge malls - I hate malls - situated Really Far Away.)

That is great news! And I feel honoured you felt like sharing with me first *is touched*
