I actually had one more thing to talk about and now I can't remember. But here are the various things I thought about from the time I left work yesterday until I got to work today:
24 really is quite good again this season.

So a few times now I have seen the following on the T, specifically on the C line. An older, not at all attractive man, fairly well-dressed, gets on the train with a younger (not grossly young, but probably early 30s, whereas he is well into his 50s) and attractive Asian woman. They are clearly an established couple, and she is invariably dressed in high heels, with an expensive purse and pricey but too-young-for-her clothes. There is much eye-batting by her, and he just seems so freaking happy that he got this chick to date him. The thing is, I just saw this on Law & Order and it did not go well. There was a marriage service that paired off Asian women with older dudes. Someone died, etc. So is someone running one of these in Boston? It creeps me out a little, especially the way the men look at and touch these women, it's possessive and icky.

Across the street from me is a T stop, an open-air one. A few days ago, they put out two work trailers. And there is a machine of some kind. Then they repainted the crosswalk lines. Now, they are making the trailers more permanent, building wooden support frame under them. Fine. But what the heck are they doing? Are they going to build a new T stop? More importantly, is it going to be loud? Because on Monday, they woke me up at 6:30 doing something, and I wasn't too happy about it. I can wear earplugs, but HF is a light sleeper and refuses to wear them because he is STUBBORN, and I really don't want to have to sleep in Southie every weekend til they are done.

More or less every morning I get a bagel at the Finagle in the lobby. I don't love their bagels, I am a Bruegger's girl when I have my druthers, but they are convenient. Everything with "lite" (sigh) plain. So this morning I order my bagel, and the two ladies ordering concurrently with me order theirs, including a sesame with "lite" plain. They get their order first, and as the one with the sesame walks away, I see one of the workers go over to the guy who made the order and point something out on the order slip, then point to the girl. Then they sort of look after her, clearly thinking, "Man, we should totally stop her, because we gave her the wrong thing, but that seems hard, so...meh." Yeah, they gave her my bagel. Which sucks for her, because she clearly wanted a boring bagel. Plus, now I am waiting for mine. I wait for a while, then I finally say something, because like 5 other people have gotten theirs. The guy says it's in the toaster. I look at him and I really want to call him out, not meanly, but just to say, "Dude, you totally gave that girl my bagel, didn't you?"

There are about 20 seagulls flying in swoops outside my window. I almost never see birds up here, and they are REALLY close to the building, like feet away, and it is freaking me out.
