To give you an idea of the office environment here: _______________________<- that space right there represents the silence of this office. People really work here and work quietly they do. Coming from the office environment in NYC this is a HUGE difference. Note: In NYC I worked with 20 loud, funny, personable, wonderful women. Me being loud and personable myself, keeping my mouth shut all day proves to be difficult. Thankfully, I have this wonderful little male temp that has been seated next to me. I think he just graduated college [let me ask how old he is]… he’s 22. Anyway he has taken to my sudden outbursts quite well and I think he actually enjoys them (read: he’s the only one that laughs or answers back). Well I just had one and it went something like this:
Me: I just can’t stop thinking about food!
Temp: Do you want me to go get you something to eat?
Me: No I am not really hungry I just can’t get food out of my mind..chocolate especially.
Temp: maybe you should eat your apple (side note: its fruit day here which means every employee gets a piece of fruit)
Me: I already did
Back to silence
Temp [staring at his computer] hummmmm…..
Me: What?
Temp: Are you on a diet?
Me: I’m always on a diet
Temp: Oh… I think you have an eating disorder (dead serious). It says here (he was doing internet research on my non-stop thoughts of food) that if you are on a diet and can’t stop thinking about food you have an eating disorder.
Well there you have it. My freakish eating habits have been diagnosed by the 22 year old male temp (I can’t pronounce or spell his name).
While on the topic (food not eating disorders) I was watching my new favorite show last night, Asian Café I think its called. It’s on one of the Discovery channels so chances are you know what I am talking about. Basically this guys travels all around Asia and eats food.

Now theme restaurants are nothing new, umm fashion café, but this one 
was priceless…
was priceless…Modern Toilet (Taiwan) a toilet themed restaurant. Patrons are seated on toilet bowls, eat out of dishes shaped like toilet bowls, napkins are rolls of toilet paper (spare a square??) and the menu is bathroom themed (gross). One of this dishes he ordered was bloody diarrhea soup (totally not joking) it looked really gross but apparently tasted quite good. You can top off your meal with some soft serve chocolate ice cream served in a toilet bowl. This picture does not do it justice. What was shown last night was priceless.
Still hungry....

I love the Toilet restaurant concept - think it would work in the States??? I will have to start watching the show and hell, I need a blog of my own. Be careful about the photos you post in case you ever want to run for Miss New Jersey or Miss Singapore. Miss you
Love your blog... how great is this... and you are so informative and funny. I can hear your voice in my head when I read this and can hear perfectly your intonations... Anyway love the apartment... And the toilet bowl restaurant... are you sure the owner of it is not named Rob Fallone ;) Love You
My sister is correct. Taiwan is my trial location. If all goes well poo poo platter locations will be arriving in the U.S.
Glad to hear things are going well, and that you took care of your bush. No coincidence that it was right after seeing the tall greek / indian Don johnson.

I hope that's their theme song.
I'm going to start eating my meals on the toilet.
