Yesterday, as I munched on a scrumptious seekh patty at Nathus's Pastry shop, I could not help but wonder how my life had changed for the better since September 2009, the time I accepted this new job and here I was today, munching on goodies on a working day, eating at the company's expense, doing an official job of tasting and selecting snacks for an upcoming office event. I smiled at the lemon tart in my hand as I pondered over it and by the time chocolate tart found its way to my mouth, I did not even complain about the chocolate in the tart, something I'm not very fond of. I watched my colleague, Alice, savor her mushroom patty and blueberry muffin with her eyes closed in ecstasy. "Dude, we have to have these muffins at the event. We just do." And then she proceeded to quickly jot down the menu and the price. We tried not to think of all the pastries that we bought at Wenger's to take home---personal purchases of course. By the end of the day, I was so full that I could feel the rims of the tarts I ate pressing against my ballooned tummy. Alice and I found our stomachs so full that we could barely breathe. Both of us groaned and crawled back to office with bright smiles.
And I thought to myself, this was easier to digest than all that bullshit I had eat in the previous office. Then I had more pastries after dinner. I slept with an appropriate song running in my head:
…And I think to myself…what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself…what a wonderful world
Oh yeah!
