Work decided this year that they wanted all of our service centers to provide a breakfast or lunch or ice-cream kinda shindig once a month or so in appreciation of our employees. This is relatively easy for most of our service centers as their head counts are significantly lower than mine. So, I am faced with the challenge of coming up with a shindig that will benefit as many of my dudes as possible without being too pricey.
My father and I decided to do a lunch this go-around. At first I thought about ordering a honey baked ham and then making baked beans, buying some potato salad, bread, and condiments. Then I saw the cost of a 1 1/2 hams and freaked out! For the same amount of money, I could go to Rudy's BBQ and get 15 lbs of meat, potato salad, beans, bread, pickles, onions, jalapenos, and iced tea. Oh...and the best part - no work on my behalf.
I ordered up the goods on Monday for pick-up today. My father and one of my dudes went to get the grub. I decided to serve it since the dudes have little to no control when it comes to food and I needed to make sure there were enough leftovers for those out on jobs today. They asked about the onions and jalapenos and I looked at everything we had and surmised Rudy's forgot to send it. Silly Rudy's. The guys were sooo disappointed. Poor dudes!
After everyone ate, I went to put away the leftovers and couldn't believe I had a whole pan left of potato salad. Those on jobs will be so excited. I decided to put the little bit of remnants from the other pan of potato salad into the full one to consolidate and imagine my shock when this:
turned out to be this:
My "Kim" was that I assumed POJ was really POT and meant "potato salad" instead of "pickles, onions, jalapenos".
Poor dudes indeed.
The ones out on jobs will have a plethora of POJ, but hardly any POT. =/
*sigh* I need to keep my "Kims" in check.
