12 p.m. — Impromptu apple tasting with my coworkers. One of my coworkers has only ever eaten Fuji (!) and I told her Honeycrisp is the best apple variety (don't @ me). Another coworker from Vermont thinks McIntosh is the best. So I brought a Honeycrisp apple and another coworker brought McIntosh, and we're have a tasting with more coworkers. We all agree the McIntosh is too mealy. My coworkers ask me to go to Panera with them, but I decline because I brought a lunch (for once)! I heat up the food I brought from home (sautéed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, and braised beef) and watch a Drew Gooden YouTube video at my desk. N. texts me that he just got off the phone with a recruiter, and it went well! Yay! He just quit his job, and he's been on the lookout for a new one.
