I'm Mrs. Oh My Gosh That Brittny's Shameless

The Neighborhood Block Party- A Series of Short Posts Part Two, 17 October 2007

I was at work until 9:00 last night.

I was beyond annoyed with the entire situation.

When you work on a military base in the middle east you’re stuck.

Totally stuck on base until you are leaving for the day. There’s no running to the grocery store or going to Applebees on your lunch break. You’re stuck, dang it.

Somehow around 7:30 I “volunteered” myself to get dinner for everyone. My boss gave me money and we all agreed the easiest thing to get would be pizza. I attempted to call and order but got no answer.

No pizza.

“I KNOW!” some freaking braniac shouted, “LET’s HAVE SUBWAY!”

What a GREAT idea!

Not.

Do you know how freaking impossible it is to order sandwiches and salads for like a thousand people?

“I want a six inch turkey on white...no, no wait… make it wheat Doh! Sorry- you know what, let’s stick with white. Then I want pickles, olives, tomatoes, a TINY bit of italian dressing, a DAB of mayo, a SPRINKLE of salt. Then you do the hokey-pokey and you turn yourself around,

thats

what

it’s

all

about!”

I was about to launch across the desk in a firey fury at that point.

So-

As I’m headed to Subway, fuming about work, fuming about “volunteering,” and fuming about ordering 56 different variations of the same sandwich, and all I can say is (and I have no idea where it came from or what it means, but trust me- it made sense at the time):

“I’m starving and I’m pissed. I can go without the food, but not without the pissed. That’s right- I’d like an order of ‘pissed’, please!”

Who knows what I was thinking. All I know is that I totally laughed at myself for being such a weirdo.

By the way- they don’t serve that at Subway.

LOL - poor B! You do so get taken advantage of don’t you? They should appreciate you more!!

Yeah, that was a bad idea!!!  I’m glad the whole ordeal is over and that we have all learned from it.  Personally, when I’m starving, I just get that much more pissed about everything!  I even yelled at Tom once because I thought he had turned the wrong way when taking me to get some food.  red face BTW, he was trying to take a shortcut.  How embarrassing....

Oh geez, what a mess.  I am sorry you had to stay at work so late, that REALLY stinks!

Ordering Subway for a family of 5 seems like enough of a task, I can’t IMAGINE ordering it for an entire office! haha.

Well I guess you learned your lesson then. Don’t you be volunteering to to ANYTHING...EVER again. LOL! You’re right, sometimes the only thing that will do is a hot steaming order of “pissed”. Let me know if you figure out where to get that.

Hmm, I bet you made the subway workers’ day about 400% more interesting than anything else that day.  smile I am the same way about eating late and working late.  I would be mad, especially when everyone wants a custom sandwich.  YikeS!! 

Hope the rest of your week treats you better - no more volunteering to do the food run.  wink
