lunch time

So normally I do not send people to other blogs, except via the links on the right. However, I found a link to this, laughed till my side hurt and thought I should share… You’ll laugh, I promise.

In other news… nothing that interesting is going on. I mean, our boss thinks we are running a “loose ship,” the guest is no longer here and the weather is on the fritz, but we found a fabulous new restaurant one minute from work! (And yes, that was one of the only positive things about the day.)

Shrimp Mozambique, a steak sandwich, a bottle of Borba and two espressos with Bailey’s later we were feeling much better about the day. I wish I had my camera to share pics of the food (Yes, it was that good and yes, we did talk about taking a picture. Deal with it.), but suffice to say it was phenomenal.. even at 3 PM, because that was when we took our lunch break.

See, the crappy part of our job is that there is so much to do that we tend to work through the normal lunch hour… it’s sad, we know. Eventually, as 1 becomes 2, the coworker starts to make noises and send IMs, asking what we are doing for lunch. Slowly, those noises become yells and get louder and more insistent, and the IMs begin to read, “Now, I want food NOW. RIGHT NOW!!!!” It’s truly an entertaining experience, and one we live out every. single. day. That is our joy.

Lunch time, friends. That is the joy of our day. The measly hour (sometimes far less) we spend eating something yummy. Half the time we eat at the office, where I peruse the blogs and read the funniest posts aloud, and she responds to emails. The other half? Ah, well, that is the good time we spent at the lovely place on the water (with bad food, but good liquor).. or now, at the delicious little place up the street, with the good food and liquor.

Choices, choices…
