Karmic Consumption Conspiracies..
Dec. 10th, 2003 11:21 pmWell its official.
Either the universe is conspiring to keep me overweight, or good karma ia cashing-in on me in an unexpected theme. Because of who I am gonna assume the later.
Went to lunch before work over at a local mexican restaurant called Su Casa. An employee of mine said he worked there and that I should come visit for lunch. I did, and when I was checking out they said not to worry. He'd comp'd the whole meal. So I left a good tip for my waiter and was off.
Work was slow, but my spirits were pretty high. Don's ludicrously generous gift was put to good use, I can't believe I spent all of it in one day but I guess you do notice a lot of stuff as you are shopping for other folks. I could go into the loot & booty list but needless to say that it was a shit load of stuff.
As I was trying to come down from the state of mind were I could spend that kind of money on myself, I remember the decoupage fantasy stuff I wanted to put together but could find anything I liked, so I ordered in a ton of it for the store. Eventually I think it will work pretty cool, may even start doing them for friends but I guess that means I need to get a good sander, any recommendations?
The karmic roll kept up when as I was moving to take lunch, a man from a new local pizza shop brought by 3 huge deluxe pizzas for the staff. Was damn good too! Garlic cream with chicken, fresh tomatoes, and bacon; a classic pepperoni, and a shredded steak supreme. Woohoo! All free.
Only downer was that I caught one of my employees stealing half of the pizza while she thought she was alone. She didn't realize I caught her so I figured that if money was that short for her family I'd just let it slide. But it still bothered me quite a bit. On the ride home I had to vent to a co-worker a little about it. He agreed it was lame but figured I was right not to be a bastard about it. It was FREE after all.
It wouldn't have got to me if she wasn't one of the most sanctimonious, pushy religious members of my staff. She tells people to quit drinking, smoking, and criticizes their life styles. And then she steals pizza cuz she's feelin tight. And I am sure we would have given it to her if she'd just asked! Argh!
Oh well it was still a really great day.
Hope you all had them too.
