free lunch

i got a free lunch today! i'm not working for the man, so any little perk like this is cause for celebration. it was two hours long, but it was kind of a welcome party for me and the other newbies, so i didn't even feel guilty. although i did stay a little late tonight to make up for it.

i really enjoyed the lunch conversation. i passionately love talking (and listening) to smart people. i got to show off by explaining to everyone what "the long tail" is. (when did li'l ol' socialist, technophobe me become so business- and internet-savvy?? ...oh yeah.)
