She Knew I Was Going to Write This
As I have mentioned to many of you, the best perk of my new job is free dinner every night. A menu is sent at about 2. The final order is placed at 3:30 and dinner arrives at 5:30. Every day I send Mrs. Poop the menu and if it's something good she says "I hate you" and sometimes offers suggestions. Normally I e-mail her right away with my choices, but one day I was busy and hadn't even had a chance to look at the menu.
A few minutes before 3 she e-mailed:
"What are you getting?"
I responded "I haven’t looked yet, very busy I was hoping you would tell me."
But when I realized it was already past the deadline I looked at the menu and quickly fired off my order:
"Chops special burger
French fries"
And then Mrs. Poop replied:
"There's a yummy looking mushroom burger with turkey bacon and provolone. Chops special burger i think it's called. Doesn't come with anything. Can order a side of fries for $3. No desserts for you unless you like baklava. You were supposed to have your order in 10 minutes ago!!"
And that is why we are soulmates.
So did you get it even though the deadline past?
ReplyDeleteBTW today is the 25th anniversary of "send it in Jerome"
I did get dinner, haven't missed it yet. There is usually a grace period, they say 3pm, but give you until 3:15 or 3:30 before actually placing the order.
ReplyDeleteESPN did a big thing on Send It In Jerome during Monday's Syracuse-Cincinnati game.
