Last Minute Requests=Food In Payment
By 4:30pm on Friday, I had thought I was done with the day, but things always change at work, especially when you wear 20 different hats--it all comes with a small station. I'm about to head back to my desk, when I turn to realize that "Dorry," one of our sales execs, is on her knees--my immediate response being, "What is it this time?" The only reason a sales exec, especially Dorry, would be begging that way is that she made one more of her scatterbrained mistakes and needed a spot put together. How is it that I'm always the one who gets these requests?! Well, seeing it was waaayyy past my time to be at work, extra payment must come with this favor--food is always an option. She thought her 2 last pieces of cheesecake in the fridge would suffice, HA!! Lunch plus the cheesecake, that would be good enough, and I am planning of ordering dessert with it, even if I have to get it to-go. What the co-host pointed out though was that lunch wasn't going to be only payment, but slight punishment for me, which I didn't think about until he said something. We say punishment b/c Dorry's scatterbrain self carries into any conversation she has, and that means lunch will be very interesting either tomorrow or Wed., maybe even a little aggravating. Note to self: Next time, either ask for a gift certificate, or even make DVDs another form of payment.
