the sugarcube conspiracy, or, how i learned the world doesn't want me to have my coffee just the way i like it

four grocery. two days. no sugarcubes. one doesn't even lead me on with the label saying sugarcubes should be there and how much they would cost if they would magically appear. i had to resort to buying uncubed sugar. which, well, crapshoot. now my coffee will universally be either too sweet or not sweet enough.

le sigh.

on an unrelated sugar note (although my friend brandy might say otherwise), i did a little cyberstalking of the new cute interactive guy at work (don't judge me). i found his blog and have been reading the archives. while it's answered my question on is he or isn't he (i find him attractive, so obviously, he had to be straight), he posted an interesting post today.

(sidebar: i actually saw him working on said post at work.)

anyway. so apparently, he got offered a job somewhere else, and he's weighing the pros and cons of which to take. and it almost seems like he's leaning towards the other job. which is freaking me out a bit. not because i finally have some new eye candy at work (read: i finally have some eye candy at work), but because he's fucking good at what he does. he's a fast learner, and i'm already moving him onto one of our more complicated accounts. (this is only his fifth day on the job.) and he's thorough; everything he's done so far has had minimal revisions.

as opposed to the guy who started two days before him, and is still fucking shit up. a lot. in fact, he fucked up something so hardcore today, it took two people to work on it to figure out how fucked up it is, only for me to go to account services and say "yeah, this shit ain't going out. it needs some botox and a visit to nip/tuck. once a day. for a month."

yeah. so while i really, really want the new cute interactive guy to stay, for reasons good and bad, i wouldn't hold it against him if he took the job at the "hip" place he writes of in his post.

le sigh squared.
