Seinfeldian Urges

remember the "seinfeld" episode where elaine's office uses any excuse to have cake and she gets addicted to it, and then is cut off from joining in, so she goes to j. peterman's mini refrigerator and eats the 1929 piece of cake that he bought at an auction?

in a strange twist of fate, i feel like i'm in a similar seinfeldian situation. at the beginning of the year i was transferred to the department that i wanted to belong to since joining the company a year ago. but my old department was really keen on doing stuff around the holidays--whether it was food days, cooking contests, whatever--there was a committeee that would do cool things.

for example, since yesterday was valentine's day, everyone received a pink balloon bouquet with m&ms. today it was someone's birthday, so there were tons of goodies, including a cake. granted, i didn't have a piece (it was vanilla), but it sure looked tempting. so i had an iced cookie instead and thus, the sugar craving was sated. let's hope i can resist the call of the cake tomorrow, but it's not looking good.
