The most beautiful thing
19 Jun 2006
Note: This post contains so much exaggeration, it verges on the distateful. But I’m sure you will be able to forgive me once you’ve read it.
Today, a most wonderful and holy event happened. This ought to go down in history or something, and I say that without hyperbole.
Well, of course, I say it with as much hyperbole as anyone ever has in the entire history of the universe, but I’m still feeling pretty elated about the whole thing.
Basically, from what I can determine (I’m still feeling pretty emotional), some people from marketing upstairs had a lunch or something with some clients, and they ordered really delicious gourmet sandwiches and then ate about two of them. This meant that there were about a hundred left over.
We just got an email asking if anyone wanted any sandwiches, and I must have been the only one to go upstairs, because they said I could have the lot. Naturally, I offered them around, but people were far too polite, so I have the exquisite pleasure of being able to eat the entire tray over the course of the afternoon!
They’re sitting right behind me now and there’s about 6 left. All of which I plan to consume like no-one has ever consumed before.
Oh, my work here is done! My cup of joy overfloweth! If I get knocked down on the way home and die, it will all have been worth it!

Mark!
Oh, OK, maybe I got a bit carried away :S of course it wouldn’t have been worth it, but in my defence, I was very happy at the time!
:D
I couldn’t work out how to respond to that because it made me chuckle, feel bloated, feel envious, shake my head, laugh some more, feel speechless…
I thought I’d let you read into my comment whatever tone you wanted to – let you regulate yourself maybe. In fact I had overlooked your last sentence…
I’m glad you enjoyed the sandwiches. In many ways this was a quintessentially Mark Kenny post, and for that I was glad! :P
