If It's Chinese Food, It Must Be Monday

So, it turns out that yesterday was Thursday, and I failed to notice that, and thus missed my self-imposed deadline to post on Thursday.

Really, I have no excuse, other than I forgot, but mostly it's because I had a yam roll for lunch.

(Stick with me here, this actually does make sense.)

There are a limited number of places to eat within walking distance of work, and even fewer that the people I eat with can all agree upon. Because of that, we almost always eat at the same place on the same day every week. Monday is Chinese food, Tuesday is the bagel deli, Wednesday is the sushi place, Thursday is the other deli, and Friday is bring your lunch to work day, which everyone else interprets as "go get something and bring it back" day.

Sure, it's a little predictable. Okay, it's a lot predictable. But it's better than trying to make a decision every day as we're walking out the door. Lest you think I'm the only weird one, K-poo used to have a spreadsheet that she and her co-workers consulted when determining where to eat. It's all engineers, I'm telling you.

Anyhow, we didn't go to sushi this Wednesday (since everyone except for Jeff bailed on the group lunch), and since I really like the yam rolls, we went there on Thursday. So mentally, I was more prepared for a Wednesday. Because, really, lunch is one of the few things that distinguishes one day from another. And I'm okay with that.

Anyhow, that's why this is twenty-four hours late. Deal with it.

I thought maybe the death march project had finally killed off everything outside of work.

I still can't believe we don't have a decent mexican or indian place nearby.

btw, the spreadsheet never worked. it just gave us a starting point for the debate.

Indian food with a buffet? That would knock the bagel deli right off the schedule. Tuesdays would be a whole new world.

Karen, the fact that someone spent the time to type all that stuff in is the funniest part. The fact that it was useless isn't too surprising.

Even an indecent mexican place would work.

Would that be a cross between Artie's Countrywood Lounge (with "lingerie modeling" at lunch) and Rubio's?

Just so you know... today is Sunday.

Thanks for looking out for me...

It's Monday now. 11.5 hours until I have to choose which Chinese dish least disgusts me, and then another 45 minutes until I'm eating a protein bar because my lunch had nothing but carbs in it.

You need to start ordering the tofu. Or I guess we could find a different way to remember that it's Monday...
