Brand Loyalty

Felt guilty today passing my usual lunchtime hangout, the vaguely dependable "Q-Train" deli nearby work, headed for the new Subway which just opened up last week. Had to remind myself I've been eating exclusively at the Q-Train for years, having acquired food poisoning at literally every other establishment in a walking radius from the hospital where I work, and hence have a right to stray in search of something different. I expect fate to teach me yet another excruciating, vomitous lesson in the very near future, sending me back to the faithful old deli where I can just tell them to "burn" whatever I'm ordering and thereby rest easy. In other news, my eBay auctions are pushing 100 bucks, yippee! I'm also very sorry I missed Howard Stern's Sirius Satellite Radio giveaway yesterday. Was thinking about skipping work to attend the event at Union Square in Manhattan, but couldn't bring myself to do it.
