Who Said There Is No Such Thing
As A Free Meal?
Now after an hour long post yesterday about why my work was driving me to drink, today I am going to post something nice.
Prior to November 10th when I was rescued and brought to this nice new office with all these nice new people, I was in the office of Dallas Hillbillies. The people in the other departments were rude and would look at you like they were trying to figure out if you fell off of the turnip truck yesterday or last week.
It was a huge office and they had meetings all the time. There had to have been at least one catered lunch each week. And what did they do over at Hillbilly Hell, when the catered event was over? They threw the leftovers away. I can not begin to comprehend how a company, who experienced quite a few loses and employees during the Hurricanes of 2005, could be as frivolous and unhospitable as to throw away food, but they did.
Now, I am in a quaint little office with about 40 people. There is still room for us to grow in this office and we have quite a few large conference rooms for meetings. They seem to have meetings in the conference closest to my desk at least once a week, and again these are catered events.
The difference is, over here in "High-class Hummer-Land," when the meetings are over, the receptionist sits down at her desk, opens up her email, hits compose, types out a quick message and forwards it to the entire office.
What does that message say? It says:
"Leftovers are available in the kitchen, please come help us finish them off before the catering company comes to pick up the equipment."
Last week we had fried chicken, mashed taters, corn and banana pudding. Today was BBQ, sausage, turkey, cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans and pecan pie.
Now, THAT is my idea of a free meal.
