In no particular order, a list of thoughts that have run through my mind at some point today:

• I wish people would stop commenting on the size of my coffee mug.
• Damn you green candy canes and your siren song of goodness.  I wish I could quit you.
• It is too quiet in here today.  I feel like I’m at the library.
• HOLY HELL.  Who would eat something that smells so disgusting?
• What a crappy day to have forgotten to charge my iPod.
• Seriously, people, what is it to YOU what size coffee mug I use?
• Why must we always have that freaking fan running when it is actually COLD outside?
• I think it is even quieter than the library.  More like working in a cemetery, although admittedly less creepy.
• Hello, random new person.  Nice to meet you too, and I am sorry to inform you that yes, we do have to provide our own coffee mugs.  Be prepared to have people offer unsolicited comments on the size you choose.
• How is it possible for the quiet to be so distracting?  What I wouldn’t give for a screaming monkey slingshot right about now.
• Hot chocolate:  good in theory, gross in actuality.
• Damn PTA and the request for volunteers!  I can ignore a mass e-mail but when you ask me specifically I am going to have to say yes.  And I’m sure that is your evil plan.  BAH.
• I wonder if the crunching of pretzels is as loud to everyone else as it is to me.  Not that it will stop me from eating them.  CRUNCH CRUNCH.
• “The Beef Checkoff”.  Hee!
• Finally!  Someone turned on a radio to combat the stifling silence.  Where was this person when my iPod died before lunch?
• I really need to get some work done.
