Extraneous Office Wandering

General State of Being:
Being enamored with the possibilities of a whole new year has sort of worn off. AND I'm really tired of being inside. The urge to go hiking or just exist outdoors for many hours on end is overwhelming, yet sadly unattainable with trails muddied from all the rain and lack of automobile to take me to higher ground.

Today's High:
I admit it. I am an Extranous Office Wanderer. My bottom, lovely and wee though it is, cannot handle being planted in its cubicle-land assignment for much longer than 45 minutes to an hour without taking a stretch break. Now, I'm not one of those annoying Extraneous Office Wanderers who stops at every desk and chats up every employee between their office space and the break room. I always have a task at hand: taking my plate to the dishwasher, filling up my water glass, checking my mailbox, hitting the bathroom, etc. But nonetheless, I manage to have 6 or 7 Extraneous Excuses to Wander the Office each day. Why is this under the "High Point" category for the day, you ask? Gloriously, this afternoon I was in the kitchen on one of these very Extraneous Office Wanderings when, I did, IN FACT, catch my boss doing the exact same thing! And her's was even more extraneous!!! She just walked into the kitchen, commented on the apple I was slicing, and walked out! BUSTED!!! Wander on, my friends! Wander on!

Today's Low:
I went for a walk around Lake Merrit on my lunch break. It was very kind of the puddles left over from yesterdays rain to point out the fact that there must be a microscopic hole in the front of my right shoe. Lucky me, got to have five wet toes all afternoon.

Insignificant Fact(s):
Things I have eaten thus far today (in exact order):
-Quaker Instant Oatmeal (Cinnamon & Spice)
-Banana
-3 chocolate covered almonds
-bizarre fruitcake substance left on the kitchen table at work (seeing as it was already half eaten and there weren't any dead bodies laying around the office, I figured it safe to give it a go)
-ham and provolone with honey dijon mustard on 5-seed bread, warmed for 35 seconds on high in the microwave (hey, I TOLD you it was insignificant)
-5 more chocolate covered almonds
-1 Fuji apple

What I wished I ate today (in no particular order):
-Ben & Jerry's Half-Baked
-Crab Wontons and Vegetarian Eggrolls from Slurp on Telegraph
