1: Cut a hole in a box
Being the weekend before Halloween, the costumes were out and about. I didn't see anything terribly creative, but I did see a guy sporting a "dick in the box". I saw the costume while I was still in front of the restaurant. One of my co-workers had no clue what "dick in a box" was, and I was surprised and saddened. I then sang the steps to "dick in a box" for her. I am not trying to claim that the costume was creative or anything. In fact, I suspect there will be many similar costumes on Wednesday. The guy did a good job, though. He had the full early 90s R&B clothing and hair kicking it.
2: Put your junk in that box
Work was alright last night. Not great, just alright. I got a little annoyed because last night turned into "help others get ahead night". I don't mind helping other people and doing some of their projects. I do mind starting some of those things after midnight, because I know that means we will get out late when we didn't have to. I really didn't want to try to squeeze in a giant batch of fruit curd that late in the night, but the other girl who works downstairs with me really insisted. Then when the curd was almost done she asked me to cut out some super tiny cookies that are a part of the dessert amuse. You know, if you still had your own stuff you wanted to get done, then why take on so many additional projects? We ended up getting out at 2:15am. She was really thankful when I finished the cookies, which made me less pissed off. She is a really nice lady, but that curd should have waited till today.
3: Make her open that box
There is something else that has been annoying me about work. This is so minor and petty, but I just can't help it. Everyone calls our food processor "the Robot Coupe" (pronounced rowbow coo -- all Frenchified despite the fact that the company was started in Jackson, MS). It's not a Robot Coupe, it is a Cuisinart Food Processor. It says so right on the front. Robot Coupe is a brand, a brand that actually makes many different products. We don't have a Robot Coupe food processor, but we do have a Robot Coupe immersion blender. I know it is a petty complaint, but I had to vent a little.

Yesterday at work I got caught in the cords of the immersion blender while carrying a tray with 22 ketchups on it (roughly enough to fill the entire tray) and ended up doing what appeared to be an elaborately choreographed dance around the kitchen - eventually dropping only one bottle. The cook with the blender turned from his mashed potatoes and said, "are you gonna clean that?"
