This morning I swung by my local Cafe Metro on the way to work. While paying for my breakfast, I noticed a flyer on the counter:

COOL CLICK SPECIAL
Get your food on the web.
There's no line when you order online, and we'll give you a $2 discount.
Cool.

Ordering lunch online? Not worth the effort. But two bucks off? When I'm still adjusting to $9 midtown lunches? Cheapskate heaven.

Speaking of the pup (see below), an update of the Charley gallery was long overdue. He's two and a half now, and as fun as ever.

Wood chips
Felt
Cotton
Q-tips
Cardboard
Paper cups
Grass
Tissues
His own fur
Masking tape
Twigs
Plaster
Grout

I slipped this in mid-post last month, so here it is for the record:

David Wertheimer began his post-MBA career at Clarins in January 2005. As Director, Internet Marketing, David oversees the online initiatives for Groupe Clarins' United States properties. Groupe Clarins, an international skincare company, is composed of nineteen subsidiaries in 150 countries, with close to six thousand employees and sales of over $900 million.

I have been at Clarins for one enjoyable, eye-opening week. I anticipate exciting and useful growth (both for Clarins and within my own knowledge and experience) in the coming months.
