Forgot your lunch, and broke.
When I had freedom to set my schedule, on days like that I would take my lunch break during the last hour of the day. So since work ended at 5:30, i would leave at 4:30.
I don't mind skipping a meal here and there, and I love the free hour at the end of the day. At this time of year, it means the difference between getting out of work with some sunlight left, or getting out after dark.
how much have you been sick this season? i'm pretty sure you have the avian flu.
sick food is bourbon (or whiskey or schnapps if i am desperate... you see, once you are sick enough to need to actually treat yourself you rarely are able to bound on out to the liquor store) and cigarettes (the heavier the better... at one point i had a pack of palmals just for colds). the bourbon dulls the muscle aches and helps me sleep through any illness inconveniences and the cigarettes help control all that mucus crap and dilate the bronchials..
i swear it works.
really.
Since you're both broke and sick, Cup O' Noodle (purchased from the nearest convenience store) would be both economical and soothing.
Feel better soon. I've also been sick a ridiculous amount so far this fall. I'm pretty sure I'm the victim of some bio-terrorists. Sounds like you may be, too.
I'm moving offices today, and right now my phone and all my stuff is in the new office, while my computer is in the old office. Oh so efficient. I'm thinking of taking a long lunch, since I'm clearly not getting anything done today anyway. Any suggestions?
Do you have fishnets on?
Working for a big conglomerate has its bonuses. The first is free cup o soups at work. Full of salt but there for the taking.
Free coffee machine and $.25 cokes and $.50 pop-tarts.
That is what I do. But you're talking to the guy who ate mashed potatoes for 3 whole weeks because I couldn't afford anything but a sack of potatoes.
Dang Diz. you could have done a half dozen things with a sack of patatoes.
Mash
boil,
bake
scalopp
puree into soup.
you got robbed of creativity.
can of hormel chili (veggie) and a can of corn.
cost < $1
mix, heat and serve.
AND GO VOTE!!!!!!!!!
Yo, I already gots my I voted sticker.
I was the 23rd MFer to vote in the city.
I even wrote in some bitchez just to keep it interesting.
I hope Jo is qualified to run the school board.
I don't know about everyone else, but it's free taco day at California Tortilla if you have an 'I voted' sticker. So Miso, get out there & vote & find some place that's awarding you doing your civic duty.
I so deserve that taco. I stood in line for like an hour at the polls. My back was killing me! I wasn't wearing standing shoes. Yes, the sacrifices I make . . . .
And can I just say that voting today in my district SUCKED?? Ugh. I'm not very happy with who I voted for & I can't say I would be any happier (or sadder, for that matter) if I voted for the other guys. I'm happy with how I voted on the referendums, though, although I'm sure most of my fellow VAers will go the other way on one of them. Fuckers.
You can get between 4-8 packages of ramen for a $1.
I brought a salad today, I can't eat any more sauce and pasta for at least the next day or two.
I MISS YOU MISO!!!!!!!!
And, uh, I've changed my advice to: find someone who voted & surreptitiously steal their 'I voted' sticker. Or go to a polling place - there are usually a couple floating around on the ground, if you don't mind wearing a filthy one. THEN go find a place giving out free food for voting.
LT, where can I, a lowly temp worker in downtown DC find a Cali Tortilly?
I think there's one near the MCI Center? Hold on. Ok, I'm back. Yes, there's one on 7th St and one in Cleveland Park.
Hey, Miso, check around & see if anyone's got any leftover Halloween candy, too! I just scored some pop rocks (69 calories, dude! hee hee - 69!)
Oh, and Mikey, lines are likely to be long, so either order ahead, or go early or go late. I'm planning on going around 1-1:30.
Also if anybody in DC is looking for a good time, we're still hosting our election night party.
COme by and get your election results among friends and beer
See you at 7:30 or 8:00
1641 Newton St.
First off, it's the Verizon Center.
Secondly, your Washington Capitals put on a good show there last night. I felt bad about missing Ottawa's 3 goals in the first two-thirds of the first period. Until the Caps wound winning 4-3 in overtime. Sometimes it's good to watch hockey and get good and drunk and swear-y and loud. Take THAT, Family Fun Night!
Which may be why I had a slow parade of Tums for breakfast. Not sure where to go with the lunch, but it's probably going to be piled high with cheese. Maybe some corned beef and swiss on sourdough.
There was a stretch where I would thicken up tomato (or any other smooth) soup with potato flakes (instant mashed potatoes). Sometimes I would even melt a slice of American cheese in to that, but that ain't exactly office-storing stuff.
And, m, your cold remedy strengthens the possibility that you and I are the same person. My sophomore year of college, I actually decided to define my Home Cold Remedy as a shot of NyQuil chased with a shot of Jack Daniel's. Repeat every 4 hours as consciousness permits.
Or mikey, jump on the redline straight up to cleveland park.
10 minute ride tops, and it's sure to be less crowded up there.
I want to here some voting stories?
Was it crowded?
Did the new computer machines talk back?
Did anyone pay you before or after?
Were people doing exit polls?
miso,
chop up about a half cup of garlic, add a half cup of lemon juice.
eat/drink
Jo, since I'm not in on that joke, what does that do to you? I know that raw garlic taken in large portions is actually poisonous.
But the lemon juice with it?
I had a horrifying moment waiting in line. This girl in the A-K line looked right at me (in the other line) & smiled & waved. She looked sort of familiar, and I stared right at her assuming she was waving at someone behind me, but then she sort of looked down at her hands like she was embarrassed. So I spent the next 20 minutes goin "Do I know her? She looks sort of familiar. Is it because she's totally out of context? Who do I know who lives around here? Dammit!" So she voted & I was still in line (there are a lot more L-Zs in Olde Towne than A-Ks apparently), she came walking over . . . and went & started talking to someone behind me in line. Phew!! I was mortified! For about 20 minutes. I think she just had that vaguely familiar look, b/c I had convinced myself I knew her somehow.
There's my story, Jo. Oh, and there's going to be a court fight, b/c the screen, it only said 'James "Jim" H.' instead of 'James "Jim" H. Webb'. Siiiiiiigh . . . and you thought the ugliness was almost over . . . . And holy cow. That's about the shortest name you could have on a ballot. How would something like Englebert Humperdinck ever fit?
I just did what I told our brave poster to do today. I got my replacement to basically let me out of work an hour early so i can go home and make the final preparations for tonights party.
So no lunch for me today.
I'll be OK, I had some Scrapple and biz & gray for breakfast. I loves me the park place gourmet
the garlic and lemon juice jumpstart your immune system and leave you with the feeling that you are doing everything possible to fight illness...regardless if it works or not.
and it makes your breath awful and your poo fizzy.
I'm eating a cup of chili and a bbq beef sandwich.
Jo the vote was easy.
I left my house at 7:00, made it the two blocks to the elementary school, waited in a brief line about 5 deep, got my ballot and voted for about 6 or 7 races.
It was retarded easy. In all the races that mattered, there were no opponents.
DC delegate, unopposed
Ward 1 Council seat, unopposed
Mayor, Basically elected with his primary victory in September.
then the other races were for fairytale positions. US Representative? US Senator? Those are bullshit, so I voted for Statehood Green candidates. Also I wrote in some folks for some of the other things that don't matter... school board, beauty queen, tastiest cola, best cookie... DC politics is so serious.
But My civil rights were not violated in any way, the poll workers seemed competent enough, I was neither offered any renumeration nor was I polled on camera or otherwise. I used a scantron sheet, not a Votechangetron 2000 machine, but there was one of them in there and they were having problems with it. It seemed like it wouldn't boot up, but I didn't get it because everybody had scantron voting ballots. Why was that overblown gameboy doing in there anywise?
Mmmmm . . . garlic.
Sunshine, my plan is to come over after I work out tonight. Do you need anything (aside from me showering)?
Maybe just a video of you showering. If not, then bring any liquor you might want to drink. We'll have the High life available.
I'm going to try and make apple pies sunshine.
oh man, is the magic hat kicked?
The Pinger has large boxes of apples that he is pushing on us. Sneak into our kitchen and apple Pie it up.
Holy crap, lt! How long do you think a keg lasts in that sort of environment? Particularly a sub-standard-sized keg like those Magic Hat clowns put out.
The Magic Hat made me feel ill and never got me drunk. but we soldiered through it, and moved on to the High Life. A wonderful alcohol value. 5.5% alcohol by volume vs. 5% for your Buds, and 4.2% for your light beers. Plus it's cheaper. I feel like it is such a miracle that Jesus himself mush have been involved in brewing High Life.
I voted today, and for the first time in almost 10 years my vote counted! One of the perks of moving out of the nation's capital.
No intimidation, though I was asked to state my home address "out LOUD" so that the poll workers could here it, never seen that one before.
Did ask if I could bring an injured Mrs. WD to "observe" my voting, as she's an immigant n' can't vote. They said it was cool, but when we got to the voting booth, AKA unfolded briefcase computer table , a worker stepped all up in my shit and said Mrs. WD could not "observe", so I told the worker that the other worker said it was cool, and there was a conference, and Mrs. WD was allowed to observe.
Exciting shit huh!
I am leaving work early to vote in the exciting DC elections (i hear turnout is high so Fenty may have a shot).
Depending on how long that takes I will head home to play video games for at least an hour or two before heading to the Newton Street Election Party.
I'll need the downtime or I may go a little batty.
It should be a very long night.
don't think i'll be able to make the party sunshine but i'll be rooting for the same team as well!
Mrs. WD needs to see a doctor in the morning cuz the ankle is still messed up good. fell down some stairs...
So now we're letting immigrants in to the voting booths. I'm going right back to that elemantary school and changing all of my votes to Republican. They ain't soft on Terror.
I kid, i kid. lady WD is a wonderful lady and immigrants are what make this country great
watchdog, you're saying she "fell"?
She's awfully clumsy...
I did not go vote since I can't... I am on the list of too cool to vote because I am so popular that if people find out who I am voting for, then they will vote the same way. And I know that bad for democracy. I want fair elections like we have in Russia now that she is democratic.
No I can not vote because iam not citizen. but if I could, i would vote for the ones who can punch better. I no vote for no weakling
PeeP. i think it's bad if they require you to show ID. Right?
I mean, i don't know good from bad any more.
All i do know is that the republican election stealing machine will come out tonight with a series of surprise upset victories that keep the balance of power in their hands. There will be lawsuits and protests, but the public will forget about it by Thanksgiving and the invalid election will stand. happens all the time, chack your history books. 1980 - 1988, and 2000 - present.
In the interest of enacting sunshine's predicted political corruption and the subesequent fleeting outrage, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the patty melt I just ate for lunch.
It was from the deli across the street, and I must admit that it was exceptional. I ordered it medium; it was actually served medium. American cheese, grilled onions, on sourdough. With fries. Water to drink because I'm too lazy to do anything else.
Yay! for lunch!
EQ, a girl can hope, right? Well, it's not like I'll be drinking much tonight, driving & all.
Mmm . . . free taco. I also got a thai chicken burrito bowl, b/c I knew one taco wouldn't be enough & I wanted something more salady. I hope it's good.
My friend just emailed me this. He wants to get a bunch of us to go in together for bulk discount. Look who's in the bottom righthand corner!!
HT writes from the DC Courthouse: "Cafeteria Lunch...1/2 club and "salad" = iceberg + dressing. Blecch."
neither voter registration card nor ID? WOnder how many dead folks will be voting today?
well, peep, then take a page from that Chicago icon of political machinery, Richard Daly, and go back & vote early & often.
i read the other day that the diebold has a nice littel yellow button that if you press you can vote again.
it's a feature.
i suggest you do it.
i am still registered in PA and can't find my card so i am going to let someone else decide my representation. it's okay, i won't complain...
for lunch i had possible the best sushi rolls i've ever had. Green River Rolls. It was Spicey Tuna with tempura flakes in a roll and they were covered with what must have been a whole avacado's worth of avacado and wasabi sauce... green orgasms abound!
miso: i feel like you were sick at least a couple times earlier this year. maybe it was just a cry for help.
miller highlife: makes your poo fizzier than garlic and lemon juice.
I was shipped a GPS unit for my car today. I want to leave work early to go play with it.
just what i needed, a reason to want to go home more..
Home, nothing, M! Take that bad boy for a test run! Go get yourself lost & see if it'll get home! That roll sounds aaaawwwweeeessssooooommmmmee. I'm hitting Sushi Taro tomorrow night - I'm dying for it.
I hope you don't complain too loudly when Santorum wins by 1 vote, M.
if santorum wins by one vote then i'll attribute it to statistical error and still not feel bad (except for the denziens of PA)..
also... have you ever googled "santorum"? god.. i still giggle when i hear political adverts telling me how santorum is the right choice for PA...
i have not googled santorum, nor will i. at work at least. does this have anything to do with that savage love column??
hah... "savage love column"
i'm not sure if that is a reference to a piece of writing by a political pundit or
a rather crude euphemism for "the male scepter of love making"
um.. either way... maybe?
and you should google it. you will find the answer in the results to the search and when queried you can just respond that you wanted to know more about homophobic politicians .
Savage Love is a sex-ed columns by something Savage . . . I forget his first name now. He proposed the name for the byproduct of a certain act of loooove be called 'santorum'. When I get home, I'm so googling santorum.
Dan Savage.
And, yes, it is. In fact, if you look at this week's column (which you can access here), the first response alludes to the history of the term in the column.
I remember reading that column in the City Paper when it originally came out a few years ago . . . I laughed & laughed. Ah, good times.
Dan! Thank you! I kept thinking it was Doug Savage, who is nobody. Or maybe a baseball player? I dunno.
LT,
I believe you are thinking of Doug Savant, who played big gay Matt on Melrose Place.
I will not be making the election party tonight, as I have to work late to make up for my morning and afternoon of moving unproductiveness. However, I did vote this morning, and felt very patriotic. I voted for Bob Bobb for school board pres (?I think). Best. Politician. Name. Ever. I also instructed my mother on how to vote on all state-wide Virginia issues, so I'm rockin' the vote through her (makes up for my DC disenfranchisement).
Yeah, I was totally thinking of Doug Savant! But I didn't feel like typing this whole explanation. Like I'm doing now.
Wooo girl! Way to rock VA! I'll have to discuss the ballot issues with you to see if I voted right.
Even Garlic can be poisonous.
