Valentine

I spent Valentine’s Day working. No big deal; there wasn’t anyone in the area TO spend it with, so why not? It actually turned out to be a fine day, with a not-unbearable amount of the usual “wish I was with that special someone”-ness.

So tonight, Friday night, we get dinner at work (as we’re working late yet again, the joys of being in the final stages of a project) and tonight we ordered from Chili’s. This is how the chicken I ordered came. I thought it was sweet, and it was good to get one Valentine this year, even if it did come two days late and from a restaurant instead of a lady.

Maybe Chili’s is a lady restaurant? I should call her…

Royal Russ

I was (still am) working late tonight, and so as usual the company provided dinner. Tonight my producer decided to get Red Robin, so I got my usual: a Royal Red Robin Burger, extremely well done; if I can’t write on the table with it, it’s not done well enough.

(I’ve learned that if I ask for my hamburger to be well done, they usually leave it on the grill for about two seconds longer than they do a rare burger, and that’s not well done. I want it browned all the way through, no pink left. The only method I’ve found to make this even a remote possibility is the hyperbole I used above, and even then it’s a remote possibility that it’ll come out how I like it.)

When my producer came back with the food, they had marked my box appropriately, I thought.
