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…..
