field trip!

i have two words for you, two magic little words that make every day better:

field.

trip.

and we just had one. thanks to today's office visitor, it was decreed that we would make a pilgrimage to none other than katz' deli, land of pastrami and the world's largest tunafish sandwich. it was divine. and on the company tab. word! it was also kind of amusing, the realization that in certain respects, i've not changed so much since i was in high school. the words "field trip" still inspire in me the same paroxysms of joy. the sense of freedom, of not caring that what you're actually doing is, in its own special way, just as tedious as school. or work. but it's neither. and that's why, as your shoes melt and you become one with the asphalt on the lower east side, you continue to beam at your incredible good fortune.
