Here are some things I did today:

-- Read the latest Chronicle of Philanthropy cover to cover
-- Distilled six articles into bullet points
-- Read two back issues of Chicago Magazine
-- Skimmed a forty-page report on giving techniques for two nonexistent bar graphs
-- Found substitute bar graphs
-- Tracked down five slackers and made them tell me what sandwiches they wanted
-- Placed a twenty-person catering order for Friday (flirted the caterer into agreeing to my chosen delivery slot)
-- Shepherded half my team to get their low-cost flu shots in the basement
-- Made a macro about search terms using a squirrel and spammed the team with it

I think I've either written or read all the words today. I mean, in what other job do you use the words "muffaletta", "injection", "boolean", and "philanthropy" all in the course of seven hours?

Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but I'm definitely earning my salary on days like today.

A muffaletta is a wonderful sandwich on a huge round roll involving all sorts of cold cuts and possibly olive salad of some sort? They can usually be cut up and eaten by four people, or more if you're not too chintzy with the slices, there's plates--yep, I've seen 'em small/medium pizza size? I didn't realize they made them outside New Orleans?...ooh, was there a po-boy option, too? If so, Chicago may become a second home for expatriate New Orleanians!^^ (if it's not *already*, that is?)

I just wiki-d that and the pictures look incredible. So tasty. Why has this not made its way to the UK yet?!

I can't guarantee it's a GOOD muffaletta, but in general the concept seems to have caught on in Chicago. We do have a ton of little mom and pop places that sell po-boys, but you have to kind of search them out.
