To Steal or Not to Steal

Ok ladies. Here it is. Something I’ve been pondering for weeks. And I have to make a decision tomorrow. It comes down to…..  to steal. Or not to steal.

Let’s start with the back story. On my first day of The Dictator I was shown around the office and when we entered the kitchen I was informed this was a very environmentally friendly office. “Right on.” I thought doing my best impersonation of Chop’s Brad in my head. My enthusiasm, however, was quickly diminished when I realized this meant they had no disposable cups. Only some sketchy mugs in a cabinet. Communal mugs. That a bunch of scary New Yorkers drink out of. And underpaid, overworked office PAs are paid to clean. Gross. But as I grew steadily more parched I kicked myself in the pants, thought of Al Gore and went to the cabinet, scrubbed a mug and claimed it as my own. For the day. The next day I came to work and aha! There was my mug! In the back of the cabinet looking enticingly like no one had touched it since I had. Quickly I snatched the mug, filled it with Brita filtered water (this office doesn’t have water bottles. Odd, no?) and sat down smugly at my desk. The next morning I swaggered up the cabinet, confidently popped open the cabinet and… What the hell!?! My mug is missing!! Son of a bitch. So I have to claim some other skanky mug for the day. (That was my first surly say at work.) The next day my mug was smiling at me from the cabinet and I’ve kept it at my desk ever since.

And this mug is pretty freakin cute too. Not only is it a funky, nifty shape, but it has a cutie patootie bird on it with leaves and sticks PLUS they’re green. Stinkin cute. 

So my dilemma is this: tomorrow is my last day on The Dictator. Should I steal this mug and make it part of my kitchen collection permenantly? What if it belongs to someone? Should I ask around and see? I mean, look at this thing. Doesn’t it look like it wants to be in my home and have Piper shove her face in it??? Oi.

As I sit here peck peck pecking away, I’m listening to the Naked & Famous. Kiki and I saw them in concert a couple of weekends ago at the Brooklyn Bowl and they were bona fide bitchin. (Leigh, I really think you’ll dig them if you haven’t already checked them out. Especially the super cutie female singer.) I also have to just mention (in case you didn’t know already) that I’m really into Oh Minnows as well. Of course I’m incredibly biased, but I genuinely think it’s an amazing album.

And finally we um… oh yeah.. had an earthquake up here today. WTF?? I know Wilmington had some tremors as well. Jen, aren’t you supposed to be the one writing about this mess?? I take that back. I don’t want  you to have to write about earthquakes.

That's right. Showing this bad boy again.
