So seeing as how the holidays are coming up I have been pretty busy figuring out what I will be doing. As of now I am not sure what to make and bake but I know it will be at my house so I have to get my shit together and figure it out asap! However unfortunately I loose most of this week because I am traveling for work. I am in Denver right now and I must say the mountains are beautiful in the distance. One thing I have noticed from the ride from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to work is that people in Denver love Red Lobster. I have never seen so many in one area! I mean don't get me wrong I love Cheddar biscuit as much as anyone else, its just that the actual food there as tasty as it is, just overall makes me super sick... oh well I guess that is the price you pay for unlimited buckets of shrimp drenched in butter. I just was thinking I would see more steak houses of something I just wasn't expecting the worlds capital of Red Lobster to be here in Denver.
What am I doing in Denver you ask... well I am overseeing taste testing interviews as a favor for another office of ours. I will say this that for someone who loves to people watch, this is an awesome gig. I sit in an observation room and watch the people in the survey try the product and then take the survey. It is funny what people do when they think no one is watching. Seeing as how I am behind a mirror so that the people don't see me they are always fixing there hair, cleaning their teeth or in general there is always some mannerism. I also find it funny and mildly annoying that since I am the client in this situation they are doting over me. I just asked nonchalantly if they had any ice no big deal if they didn't, they said they didn't but can go get some for me. Now I thought it was silly to have someone go out to get me ice just cause I wanted my water a bit cooler so I said no worries I was fine and didn't need it. Not 7 min later some guy comes running into my super secret room with a cup full of ice and apologies that it took so long. This is where I get a bit annoyed because this poor guy was told to get me ice and get me ice NOW even after I said I didn't care, just makes me wonder about how their other clients react to illicit such a gut response. Now truthfully I like having the good things in life such as taking a car service instead of a taxi if I can, having nice things, if it is reasonable flying first class. But them sending this poor guy out to just get me ice... well that is just plain silly. And now I am a bit chilly but I don't want to say anything in fear that they will go hunt a large game animal and make me a fur coat, or fashion a bonfire for me to stay warm by, so I will tough it out for now. Well I am sure I will have more fun and festiveness to discuss later as I am taking Alaska Airlines and heading off to Seattle (apparently most airlines dont do frequent flights from Denver to Seattle)... Airports make for fun times! ha ha ha
