So the firm gets a lot of free stuff from vendors, because they desperately want our business and we've already established that free things = loyalty. Most of the time, they bring cookies and things, but then some of them bring in other stuff, like water bottles, magnets, pens and the like. It's neat. Yesterday, one of our vendors brought a bunch of pens and these little mint packets for the paralegal group, and now I can't stop eating the mints. There's nothing particularly special about them -- they're about the size and shape of the little paper circles you get after using a hole-punch, and they're not very strong -- but I went through about twenty of them yesterday and I've already had, like, five this morning. I mean, I like mints and all, but this is just ridiculous.

...maybe it's because they're so tiny? Perhaps I'm not getting the pure minty flavor I cherish so much. Maybe I should eat five of them at once! Yes!

EDIT: Well, that didn't work nearly as well as I'd hoped. It was refreshingly minty for a while, but now it's faded and I'm back to eating them one by one again. I have no idea what's going to happen when I run out. The horror, the horror, the funky, funky horror...
