So, this is my lunch today - and was part of my dinner last night…. I think it’s funny to listen to my tummy make the noises it’s been making, but hopefully, it doesn’t come out that other end - that’s not so funny….ugh….
Beans and rice - my tummy is workin’

“YOUR MOM WANTS YOU TO EAT AT JIMMY JOHN’S!”
This was the best thing on the menu - after the food, of course….
So, I’m sitting here at my desk, working diligently, sweating from the pounding I’m giving my keyboard, and what, to my wondering eyes, does appear, but two young cute guys with their boxes of free lunch fare. Yea, I got a little Merry Christmas to All just now, but I’m feeling like it’s X-mas in June right this moment. I’ve been prepared to eat my leftover mac n cheese & Hebrew Nation hotdog for lunch, when these folks wander through the office tossin’ mini-sandwiches on everyone’s desk. I was fortunate enough to receive the avocado and cheese mini and it’s more than enough to fill my shrunken stomach (see previous post). I’m excited to have new flavors in my mouth and a new food place to order from - with a minimal deliver fee. Check ‘em out - they look like a cool, hip place, and their website says they hire rockstars! www.jimmyjohns.com
Lunch revisited

Okay, so I did make my semi-daily trip to the cafeteria to hunt and gather my mid-day meal along with some co-workers today. Much to my surprise, there was no tuna to be had…. This makes me incredibly sad, but we can contemplate the fate of mercury-ridden tuna another time. The issue at hand is simply - I had no alternative! I am very much a creature of habit and had no clue what to order at this point. I don’t partake of any meat coming from a pig’s body, so I couldn’t enjoy a thick slab o’ ham on some white bread dripping with mayo. Okay, I think I just threw up a little. Sorry about that. I ventured over to the other end of the dining area, if you will, and found a happy little section of Mexican food, which I do truly love. I am fairly certain that in my past life, if I had one, I was some degree of Hispanic and/or Italian because the food SINGS to me and causes my cellulite to multiply at the mention of cheese and pasta. I digress. After much perusal, I decided on a chicken taco salad. This sounds tempting, and the chicken looked fairly fresh, as did the vegetables associated with this dish. After a one-minute frying technique, I had a fresh tortilla bowl as well. I was certain that I had found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The wonderful (and cute) food preparation expert then followed my requests and loaded some lettuce, fried rice, chicken and salsa into the lightly browned bowl. At this point, I asked for just a little sour cream, to which he responded with a thunk of the spoon that had been resting in the dish containing the white substance. Needless to say, a LITTLE sour cream turned into EXTRA sour cream. Being the flirty girl that I am, I just laughed and said thank you, while giving him the “come hither” eye. Okay, maybe not, but I did just laugh and say, “It’s fine. Thank you.” I had to give the full details because you, as my most observant readers, will notice that I completely forgot the CHEESE, one of the most important pieces of the taco salad or Mexican ANYTHING……. I’m devastated. I will have to choke this salad down, with the excess sour cream, and suffer until I can get home and nibble on the pound of heaven that is sitting in my cheese tray.

the Lunch Dance

It’s so funny working in an office where most people go to lunch at the same time. About every other day, an email goes out to about 10 people asking them do they want to go somewhere, and then, my favorite, the recipients hit “reply all” and everyone is stating their requirements, i.e. somewhere quick, I need a salad, can we run by the bank. Most times I don’t go because I generally take a 1/2 hour lunch or I’m dead broke, since the state pays me such an insane wage and I’ve already spent my allowance on drugs, hookers, and tattoos, but when I do go, we enjoy ourselves. I find it interesting though, that we talk about the same people or evaluate the same issues just about every time.
Something is almost always wrong with the food, whether we go to McAllister’s or McDonald’s, and there is generally questionable service. Most notable though, is one of my coworkers who is very self-deprecating. If it’s a male server, she likes to announce that they WANT her, and if it’s a female server, they want to BE her….. It makes everyone laugh and it’s a silly comment, but I wonder if she’s just not trying to put herself down, yet again. I would feel bad for her, but she’s not the slimmest person in the world and that tends to be self-inflicted, unless she has a home filled with magic that causes her eating utensils to shove food into her mouth while she sleeps. Don’t get me wrong, I suffer from the same dysfunction, but I try not to put myself down unnecessarily and I certainly don’t try to make myself the butt of the joke, and I don’t have any magic in my house, unless you count my bedroom, but I MAKE that magic happen.
Okay, so there’s my first post - after reading my daily lunch email…. I think I’ll just walk to the cafeteria and see what’s the special or order up a sub. Can’t go wrong there….. Maybe the next post will be a bit more interesting…..
