PSA

If you want to give your 30 days cancellation notice at New York Sports Club, you should start trying at least 50 days in advance, especially if you’re usually there early mornings, late nights, and weekends — aka when you’re not working. Because the managers are never going to be around to process your request.

Then when you finally get on the phone with a manager and she says “I’m not saying you’re lying, but I was around all day Saturday, sooooo” you won’t have to feel all stabby.

Blink, here I come. (In a month, that is.)

“It’s on. You’re going to get SOOOOOOOO fat.” —

New HBW employee Scott, threatening to leave his box of Samoas directly between us (on day 1 of our office’s Biggest Loser contest).

He’s new to Tumblr, too. You should follow him, because he’ll probably follow you back, and then you can fill his dash with pictures of oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

“After a year of eating school lunches, Mrs. Q survived to blog about it.
She works at an urban school in the Midwest, where she ate bagel dogs (yes, that’s an entree), yellowish meatloaf and chicken tenders, which she likened to “squirts of chicken foam.”
With spork in hand, her mission was to chronicle the $3 school lunches on her blog, Fed Up With Lunch. Every afternoon, Mrs. Q — who asked to remain anonymous out of concern for her job — photographed the lumps on her orange school lunch tray, and shared her observations about the food and how it affected students.”

yum.

can we banish the word ‘squirt’ from the dictionary? please and thank you.

“Parents appreciate Windsor Court because it has a driveway that allows them to drop off comfort packages without hunting for a parking space. Heather Katz’s parents — a dentist and a psychotherapist from Long Island — have dropped off her winter wardrobe, a television and a jewelry box. “For people like me it’s really easy,” Ms. Katz said, “because your parents take the tunnel and they’re right there.””

Murray Hill: A Stepping Stone After College, NY Times

The year I lived above Mercury Bar, I was pretty touchy about my neighborhood and everyone’s mockery of it. “Whatever! I have a cute studio I can afford! 2 blocks from work! Stop judging me!” That…all changed as soon as I left. Fair-weather friend I am!

So while I’m not going to deny that this is all true, there are still some give-me-a-break lines in this piece. Like,

They attend birthday parties on weekends as a pretext for drinking.

STOP. THE. PRESSES. I mean, only in Murray Hill, amirite?
