There’s this girl in my lab who came in when I was out defending my thesis over the summer and kind of laid claim to my lab space, everything got rearranged, and it’s been a little annoying to have to adjust. But now, all is forgiven, for it turns out she’s the freaking heiress to the Vachon\/Hostess empire! She came in this week with a crate<\/i> of Jo Louis, 1\/2 Moon, and assorted other snack cakes and the like. A box about a foot high and easily 2×2′ in area, filled to the brim with disgusting sugary treats (though some of them were granola-y treats, which isn’t quite the same). On second thought, maybe her dad’s just a store manager or something, it was hard to pay attention to the details with that much chocolate staring me in the eye.<\/p>\n
It’s strange, having that much food in front of you. You can say no to them when they’re for sale in a grocery store. If someone brings in a dozen Jo Louis for a snack at a meeting, you can still turn them down even if they’re for free. But when there’s a crate of them, it’s like the sugar reaches critical mass and just overloads your decision making process and you have<\/i> to take at least 3 or 4 or else where’s all of it going to go? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
