    Sliding Doors-o (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Because I lead a very exciting and glamorous life, I spent last Monday evening doing a market research session for some absolutely disgusting new sweets. Afterwards I felt too hungry (and in need of a speedy palate bleaching) to wait to get home for dinner.
