Boyfriend update, Joe Biden saves us, American cheese, and my top 4 most attractive celebs
Hey everybody,
Hope you're all having a good week. I'm just coming off a rather nasty cold (no, not coronavirus) so I've been working from home the last week or so. Back in the office today, though, and glad to be back in the full swing of things.
Thanks to all of you, by the way, who reached out with well-wishes regarding my job status and the coming months where I'll be figuring out my future. It is all appreciated, and I'll keep you guys updated to the extent that I can.
Boyfriend update: Only like three weeks till med school boo's big test!! He's working hard preparing and I'm very proud of him. Then we're off to the Dominican Republic for a week of relaxation in mid-April -- coronavirus be damned!! (We are NOT canceling).
Sad WEX alert: My wonderful colleague and friend Madeline Fry is leaving the Examiner; her last day is this Friday. We will miss her but she is on to great things, taking a job at Philanthropy magazine. Be sure you follow her on Twitter to keep up with what she does next, and thankfully, she will still be contributing freelance writing for us at the Examiner regularly.
Meme: We introverts are winning coronavirus
Book Club:
I'm just under 400 pages into the second "Mistborn" book, "The Well of Ascension." (Yeah it's really long.) It's fascinating, though, because it takes you through a post-collapse dystopian society as it struggles with democracy and actually willingly reverts to autocracy at one point, the part I'm at now. Highly recommend!
Food Take:
I love American cheese. It never goes bad! Delicious AND convenient.
