Lunch didn't go so well today. As I only had a few minutes in my apartment to change before I left for work today (thanks again for picking me up Chris) an hour late (but I leave an hour late as well) I decided to shower instead of packing a lunch. I instead took some leftovers out of my freezer--a chicken and rice casserole dish that I'd saved for use as a meal when I didn't feel like cooking, or didn't have time.
The problems started when I got to the break room at lunch time today. The food was still frozen, so I read my book while I put it on defrost. Perhaps ten minutes later it was finally defrosted and heated up--but I'd had to test and stir it several times while readjusting the microwave settings. Then just as I was carrying it back to my table the container slipped out of my hands and the food spilled all over the floor. A guy looked up and asked if I'd lost my lunch. When I replied in the affirmative he pronounced that it "must be Monday."
Now, after spending five more minutes cleaning up the mess on the floor I had to turn to the vending machines. I had a slice of apple pie from my parent's in my lunch container, but I wanted more. I ended up spending most of the cash I had on me (which is unusual, I don't usually carry cash) on a chicken sandwich and chips. *sigh* It wasn't bad, but it didn't have ketchup! :( I would rather have eaten the chicken that I didn't have to pay further for, but I didn't have that option. Oh well...
