awkward lunch

Thought I’d share this little story with you all…..For the past week I’ve been stuck in a tiny room w/ my bosses attempting to fake being busy with work when I’m obviously not. This is awkward, tiring, and boring. Each day a very nice girl, Erin, comes and takes our lunch orders. Most of the time I do not order due to financial issues. The past two days I have ordered. Yesterday one boss grabbed my lunch for me. No biggie. Today I get told to get my own. Ok sure. I walk into the kitchen area look around see no food. Oh there’s a bag on the floor maybe it’s in there. Um nope. All the while there’s a table of 4 guys staring at me. Not watching, staring. I know this is in part because there are like 1 girl for every 10 guys and most of the girls aren’t cute or they aren’t nice. Ok fine. I’m eye fodder for the editing nerds. Fine. Still can’t find my lunch. So I start looking in the fridges…um no, just yesterdays leftovers. By this time I know I’m fucking this up and I start getting that ohhh shit this is awkward feeling. Quickly I cover it by grabbing a Lemonade which I didn’t want. Finlay when turning around I see the food on a table apart from the kitchen. Ok great, first problem solved. Shit. Everything in numbered and our order paper isn’t htere listening my number! I stand there like a moron for a few minutes then sort of guess hmm….there’s 3 salads guess I get to open all three to find mine. finally food! Grabbing a fork and napkin I hurry my awkward ass out of there.

Ohh it’s not over yet. Salad is huge. I’m siting on an uncomfy couch and having to eat off the coffee table. Every other bite I’m dropping food on the carpet and discretely attempting to pick it up. Finally my boss notices and gives me a look like is she for real? Sadly yes. This is my awkward life. Dear God I hope I find someone who thinks this is funny and cute otherwise I am doomed. Now back to my elephant sized salad……
