Good Sushi, Bad Luck
Posted by erin at September 28, 2004 03:20 PMYesterday was a busy day for me. At last! After two weeks of not doing very much I had a lot of work that I was really responsible for. It's been a long time since I've been responsible for anything at work. I mean a loooooong time. However, being in charge of some stuff and having the person I work under out for a couple of days meant that a lot of things were bound to go wrong, which they did. Files mysteriously corrupted themselves, storyboards were not the right size, applescripts crashed multiple times! It was very exciting and somewhat harrying.
Then me and N. and Alison went out for kaiten sushi with Zoe! It was at this place here:

(also, the comments on the link above are ridiculous - the service was excellent!!)
"Kaiten" means something like moving, so basically, it's conveyor belt sushi! Hooray! There's a conveyor belt that travels around past booths and the sushi bar and around back by the chefs. You take the sushi you want off the belt, and the color of plate it comes on indicates the price. When you're done, the waiters count your plates and calculate the price. At this restaurant, the sushi plates had little clear plastic domes over them, adding to a kind of 1950's feel of the place. The sushi was just OK taste-wise, although some of the cuts were pretty good, some of the rolls were questionably flavored.
It was really great to go there after such a stressful day at work.
This morning the subway was pretty frustrating. It took a long time for an R to come, and when it showed up, it ran express! Grrr! I was wearing a jacket because of the rain, but the Times Square station was really warm. Then I had to walk from Union Square, so by the time I got to work I was sweaty and rained on, and ten minutes late, even though I left on time! I was kind of bummed, because I had to finish up last night's work disaster. But then when I came in, Ziggy had bought delicious moon cake! It's apparently some kind of mid-autumn Chinese festival. I've only had moon cake once before, at Sam's.
Then later, David gave me a kinderegg! What a great surprise! I think I might have talked with him about kindereggs in the past. Maybe I gave him one once and now I don't remember. Who know?! Between the moon cake and the kinderegg, this morning really turned around.
