Well I'm still standing

Oh god, here I go again with yet another post about how I haven't written in so long. Unlike similar posts of the past, though, I actually feel (kind of) bad this time, since I honestly was trying to be a little more frequent in my posting.

I've been in Boston since Sunday night for work-related meeting fun. This particular trip has been a whirlwind (or, as that stupid bitch Heidi on "The Hills" would call it, a "worldwind"). I'm pretty much swamped right now, and yet I spent all day yesterday sitting in a conference room and trying to wordsmith two slides in a PowerPoint presentation.

Without going into too much detail, my company is changing their core focus and their name, and we're launching the new company next Friday. (Which means that - oh joy - I'll be back in Boston next week, too.) Along with that comes a new corporate website, and guess who is writing all of that content for that site?

You know it, baby. This asshole right here.

So today I'm holed up at my old desk, trying in vain to write some marketing crap without using the same adjectives over and over again, and decided that I'd go pick up a sandwich for lunch - just to get out and clear my head.

There's this great New York-style deli not too far from here, but it's kind of a pain in the ass to get to, so instead I trotted across the street to this new "gourmet deli" that opened in the time since I moved to New York.

Because I'm stressed and a big fat pig, I ordered a stuffed turkey wrap, which is just another name for a Thanksgiving sandwich - turkey, stuffing, cranberry, mayo...you get the idea. The other deli that I mentioned really does this well, with real turkey and homemade stuffing and cranberry sauce, so I had this in mind when I ordered it.

The new, gourmet deli? Used turkey lunch meat, canned cranberry sauce, and the piece de resistance?

Stove Top Stuffing. I shit you not.

I ate half of it before chucking the rest in disgust. I feel like I'm on Grey's Anatomy - I just sat here and started at the sandwich and said aloud, "Seriously? Seriously??"
