Someone came back from lunch with a box of Munchkins. The part of our office where people set out goodies is directly visible from my office door. It’s almost time to go home, and I’ve successfully avoided them all afternoon. Maybe this means I’ll have a good appetite for dinner.

Until recently, I used to have a candy bar almost every workday as an afternoon snack, usually sometime around 2:30 or 3:00. I’ve decided that cutting out that candy bar might make me feel better and hungrier, and now I’ve been having that daily candy bar much less often than I used to. Only once a week, sometimes twice.

The thing about food is that it helps stave off boredom, especially when you’re having a slow workday and you keep looking at your watch. I know, I know, the solution is to bring healthy snacks to work with you. I guess it’s better to overeat on healthy snacks than to overeat on chocolate. Not necessarily as much fun, though.

For some reason, “Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk” by Rufus Wainwright is in my head now.
