My friend Sun in NYC wanted to cheer me up and so she sent me some cookies from Amai Tea and Bake house. I ate a can of Lemongrass and Ginger cookies and was about to start on the chai almond when I had an unwelcome surprise. The cookies didn’t travel well!
While the cookies were disappointing, it didn’t turn out to be a bad evening. I emailed Sun about the cookies and she called. We chatted nonsensically until her cell phone died. We even compared housing costs in different markets. Basically, it costs a buttload to live in SF or NYC but it doesn’t pay proportionately more in those markets. And 2 out of 3 web sites agreed that NYC is more expensive than SF.
I am starting to look outside Megacorp for a new job, though not too seriously yet. It’s about time.
Los Angeles is ridiculously expensive…I imagine it’s up there with SF and NYC. I hear phoenix is the place to be so maybe one day my mother will drive me crazy enough to move out and AZ it will be.
Looks like you are holding something that a “straight guy” shouldn’t be holding, if you get my drift!! Drop it!! Quick!!
Oh no!! I’m so sorry to see the sad state of the cookies. I am the owner of Amai, and would be happy to send you a new can. Please email me with your address and I’ll get a new can of Chai out ASAP. I’m glad you enjoyed the Lemongrass, at least.
