oh the indignity...

i arrived at work today to discover that my computer, and only my computer, has had the internet forcefully removed from it's useful functions. so no more net for me at work. not even at lunch time. i have no right to complain, as i probably abused the access more than any one else in the company, but i was also achieving all of my work in a timely and accurate manner. it just gives me the shits really. and reduces my desire to continue working for this company, which is saying a lot as i had already applied for another job (and have an interview on thursday)b4 dicovering that i am to be punished like a child. as a result of the feeling this has generated in me i am going to eat chocolate for dinner, and chocolate mug cake for dessert, because i can, and because i know it will make me feel like shit at the end of it and i don't care.

but here's the recipe for mug cake - i got this in an email last week and am going to try it for the first time tonight.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 Tablespoons (T) flour
4T sugar
2T cocoa
1 egg
3T milk
3T oil
3T chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

UPDATE - use a 15ml tablespoon. definitely serves two. would be great with ice cream.

ANOTHER UPDATE - at work we all have mirrors on our desks. i work in what could be called part of the fashion industry, so it's not uncommon for any of us to try on product, and you need a mirror top see what it looks like. i had mine angled so i could see behind me also. it was a broken mirror, so is useless as stock (nice mixed tenses there) but i rocked up to work the other day to discover that it had been removed from my desk and put elsewhere. speechless...
