I am going to admit something: I don't care how much everyone says that
oatmeal is filling and full of protein and complete and whatnot, but it
doesn't fill me up. I'm, like, hungry about ten minutes after I've
eaten a big bowl of the stuff. So this morning, with my oatmeal and OJ,
I had scrambled eggs. Hopefully the oatmeal's cholesterol-busting abilities negated the cholesterol from the eggs.

OK, oatmeal, mop up that cholesterol! |
But whatever. I wasn't hungry until lunch, which was a good thing because the snack closet was totally bare. I'm talking all-the-Ritz-crackers-are-finished bare. I'm talking people walking in my boss's office mid-meeting to eat the chocolates on her desk. BARE!
A guy brought in a whole apple pie and it was gone in less than 5 minutes. By the time the people who weren't in the breakroom got the email announcing the pie, it was gone.

Morning brew, water, lunch, snack and afternoon espresso. |
I finished the meal with some crackers I had brought from home (in the paper plate) and an espresso I made using Silvia and the cheap-o Aiello coffee I bought at the grocery store next to the office. Anyways, I have determined that the problem really is the Black Cat coffee because the cheap-o coffee made a really good espresso. I even made one for the guy who used to sit in the cube next to me. Yeah. Desktop Espresso looked kinda lonely today.
