Today is Justin Long’s birthday and as such, he was allowed to select the restaurant for lunch.  It’s Friday and it already ruined my weekend.

My issues:

  1. We had to leave for lunch at 11:10.  That means we were back at 12:10.  That means I have 4+ hours left here at work for the remainder of the day.  Those that know me realize this will probably throw my entire week next week off.
  2. My lunch cost me $10.  It looked, smelled, and tasted like hospital food. 
  3. Due to #2, I’m still hungry.
  4. We passed Panda Express en-route.
  5. I had to watch one food line attendant dump a bucket of meat-tomato-macaroni into another bucket of the same thing, just before selecting my side dishes.
  6. They have food line attendants.
  7. I had two panic attacks during the visit: one while needing to get in line after I caught a glimpse of Today’s Menu; another while viewing #5 above and not seeing any side dish I would want to put into my mouth.  I needed to choose 2.
  8. I had 1 side dish.

Bad day, folks.  Bad Day.

    CiCi’s is looking better isn’t it?

    I cannot believe these words are about to be typed….

    Yes. CiCi’s is actually looking better. Same quality, 1/3 the price.

    Eric has ruined my 27 birthday with his poor attitude and constant complaining, bitching, and moaning. But, I did take great joy in watching him suffer throughout lunch, which is always a goal of mine.

    Once again I have found myself laughing outloud at a Johnsonblog post.

    Kate, let me tell you…. the rest of the afternoon just DRAGGED ON. FOREVER. At least I got something humorous out of it I suppose.

    I did finally get some others to agree that the afternoon sucked. One by one they’re beginning to understand…!
