In honor of a reasonably

In honor of a reasonably new year I took a few minutes this morning to clean my desk.  I’m one of those “good workers” whose desk was already clear of old assignments and random pieces of surplussage.  I’m so good I bring my lunch to work most every day and eat it here at my desk.  A desk which, in consequence, had developed a nice shaggy crust of PBJ, mango juice, chili sauce and some brown stains I’m not looking at too carefully.  I used a highly-pressurized foaming product from 3M to surfact up these aged filths.  So why bother you, gentle reader, with such details?  The 3M Foaming Desk and Office Cleaner smells like I spilled bad gin all over my desk.  Quite an evocative odor.  I am now dying for a jalapeno-stuffed olive, a small glossy dark cocktail table, and another weekend.  Oops!  Here comes one now!  That’s what I like - quick service.  Well, that’s one thing I like.  I don’t want to tie myself down already.  It’s only January 3.
