1. Famous people only come out while you are working. Exhibit A: Jeremy Piven, J.T., and Jessica Beal can only be seen by the naked (or heavily refracted) eye during daylight hours (and NEVER on the Upper East Side or all the way downtown.)
2. The ins and outs of gmail are a whole new world of emailing. What with the status updates, and the messaging, and the color coding, it takes hours if not days to get used to the vagaries of gmail.
3. Hoda Kotb and Kathy Lee Gifford hate each other, NBC hates us. You probably thought NBC was on our side. They gave us 30 Rock and SNL and all. But they also gave up Scrubs, and entirely on the fourth hour of Today. Like a fourth hour is even necessary? All the hard news has been delivered by 7:15, but it's not like I'm turning to GMA - what am I, an animal?
4. Rory is short for Lorelai. You know what I'm talkin' 'bout.
5. The savings from buying books at Strand is completely neutralized by the subway ride to and fro Strand, completely justifying lazy purchases from B&N.
6. The entertainment value of celebrity gossip is significantly compounded by being at work. From my bed/couch/living room, I could give two shits if Jen esta embarazada.
7. A well timed firing is good for the soul. I can wear jeans, swear, and believe in the Hawks again! I can do my own laundry, concentrate on playlists and my eyebrows, and make plans to visit friends in Western Territories! As a wise character on a now ABC sitcom once said, "Sometimes that really IS what I'm talkin' 'bout."
