Your goodbye is worth more than Chinese Food, $1 a scoop!

I have a crick (is that a word?) in my neck. I think I slept funny last night. The last thing I remember was obsessing over the bath mat in the bathroom, wondering if I could make it more Halloween-ey for the party. I am so Halloween saturated right now. If you were inside my head you would think I have some sort of Halloween disorder. All I can think about is costumes, decorations, food, dancing….. *jumps up and down* eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I can’t wait. :o)

And in other news… an exchange in my office today:

(Tall black man named Glen, in obnoxious suit, enters the room, stage left)

Glen: Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that we are having a going away luncheon for all the contractors that are leaving, tomorrow at 11:00. It’s at the Chinese Buffet at the Buckingham Mall.

Me: Why the heck are you guys making everyone drive out to the sketchy mall on Havana for Chinese Buffet? It’s going to take 20 minutes to get there! By the time we get our scoop of fried who-knows-what, our lunch break will be over!

Glen: Well, that is what the Captain and I decided and we are encouraging maximum participation.

Me: Well, I don’t know if anyone in our section can go, but we’ll see.

(he leaves) (I bitch to Tiffany….)

Me: Well I find it hard to believe that Larry would want us to drive all the way out to the boonies for a Chinese buffet goodbye. We’ve known him for too long. He deserves more. Not to mention, that place is in the GHETTO…. *breaks into Cartman singing “In the Ghetto” impression* aaannnnnd his mama cries….. cosisthere’sonethingthatshedon’tneed…it’sanothuhlittlehungrymouthtofeeeeeeeeeeeed, in the GHetttooooooooooo!

(I exit stage left)

So, it turned out that we ended up going to lunch with Larry at Smack-a-roni Grill today and that was a nice little send off. We had a good time. And we didn’t eat any fried weird things.
