I had intended to work at the office today instead of working at home. My first meeting was early, so I took it from home. When it finished, I tackled some e-mail before I left the computer to get dressed. Upon returning to the computer, I saw another e-mail that needed attention, so I took care of it. Then, I got an IM asking me to hop onto a conference bridge for another meeting. That ran until 1pm. At this point, I really need to get to the office if I’m going to go at all, and I need lunch. I packed everything up, hopped in the car, and started my commute. Halfway to work, there’s a McDonald’s in a convenient spot. I ordered a McChicken (no mayo) and a diet coke. However, as I got to the window to pay, I realized my wallet was still in my school backpack…at home. Oops.

I cancelled my order with the clerk and then had a quick internal debate. I could head on into the office now, having not eaten lunch, and risking Murphy’s Law crashing upon me in the form of an officer pulling me over while I don’t have my license on me. That didn’t seem appealing. I went back home, calling a colleague on the way to see if I could make what he needed from me happen without me being physically at work. As it happens, that all worked out, so I ended up back at home. I obtained my wallet and went to Quizno’s for lunch. I decided to sit on the deck out back to eat, as the weather here today is amazingly perfect, the kind of weather that makes you want to run around outside and eat watermelon until you’re covered in stickiness. I read Traffic on my Kindle while I ate. However, I was feeling a bit tarty and I hadn’t downloaded the next Kushiel book, so I clicked my way into the Kindle store to shop. While purchasing the next Kushiel, I noticed that it was categorized erotica, and that the category was a link. Feeling a bit naughty (and did I mention tarty? up above?), I clicked my way over to it.

Oh my goodness…to steal a deity from the book that led me there…Naamah bless Kindle and Amazon and all their greatness, for today I have downloaded a myriad of samples of excellent erotic stories, enough to keep me satiated for quite awhile.
