Just In Case You Were Wondering.......

These are the reading materials that are available to me while I eat my lunch in the break room

1. Sting: Marathon Man

Why there is a biography of Sting sitting proudly amongst discarded take out menus and stacks of napkins is a mystery to me. How did it get there? Who put it there? Most importantly why isn't it being used as a doorjamb? Will these questions ever be answered? I do not know. But I do know this: Amazon.com gave it an average rating of 2 stars. Rock on!

2. Lamb of Love

I guess this is supposed to be some sort of attempt at making a Wuthering Heights-esque book for those who have attention spans just long enough to complete an entire chapter of "Loins of Desire" by Danielle Steele. The cover jacket is an entertaining read, at least. I'm pretty sure the frumpy and consistently bitchy postdoc from down the hall brought it in to warm her up on cold lonely nights when she's waiting for her western blots to transfer.

3. Issue of Men's Health, ca. 2001

If the appearance of the male population on this floor is any indication of whether or not any of them has been reading men's health, then i'm confident that i'm the only one who's gotten past page one of this thing.

4. Chico's catalog, Winter 2004

Highly advocates the return of stirrup pants, oversized sweaters and ugly jewelry. Culprit is obviously frumpy postdoc. A double offender. If I find a copy of Country Home Design Monthly in there next week, I may have to take the woman down.
