Every time I step outside to smoke, someone decides to come into the store, after it's been dead for the past twenty minutes. It's like when you're at a restaraunt, and the food takes a little too long, and as soon as you light up, here comes your server with the entree. I don't know. It's just bothersome.

It's Murphy's Law. Its the same way at my work. Whenever I need to restock something, I get out a ladder, and as soon as I'm about to set it up, some person starts looking at all the crap below where I'm trying to reach. I'm pretty sure that people are only interested in looking at or buying something because they think that yellow ladder is a sale marker or something.

At least you can order food. I am STARVING and to go get lunch would take about a 45 min walk, because I take the train so no car. The bummer is I cannot get food delivered here unless it is a full catering event with prior approval. The delivery cars can't even make it into the campus.
HUNGER....

Can't you have the deliver it to the "gate" of your campus? Or is it a 45 minute walk to the gate?

The gate is on the far back of the property, about a 20 min. walk. I come into this building through a different entry underground. It is a strange set up, and very spread out.

That's because everything is bigger in Texas.

Could you order something for yourself, a little something for the security guard, and have them bring it to you?

There you go, Zens is loaded, she can spare a little for the guard.

I am not sure. Hadn't considered that. I suppose I might be able to do it, but I feel sort of guilty taking a guard away just to help me get lunch.
Usually we have food here because I have an office right next to the main boardroom and we cater customer events. It's great to swoop in after they go back to talking about talking and eat. But alas, no avail today!

Well, per your suggestion I have asked one of the security guards if this is an option. I got a negatory. So then I called down to the procurement dept. to a guy I knew there. I asked if, provided I got him something too, if he could "procure" lunch for me. Happily I got a yes and he is going to get it.
The lesson for me now is to actually call a department that has a vocabulary word associated with what I want...even if that isn't its proper function. In this company that never happens.

Man I work with dogs all day. So anytime I do have to eat, and I have to hose all the dog hair off of me so I dont eat it. Oh yeah and I have to boil my hands because I touch nasty things all day. I pulled a lump of hair the size of a marble out of the ear canal out of a 5 pound dog (which is god knows how many Metric...7 yards? Three Bishops?)

How about when you start to regain some hope that the last three or four years have all been a long drawn-out nightmare of personal failures, and you end up in yet another lucid tragic episode of misery and doubt. Like when you actually get to see the love of your life or children like a piece of prayer only to cap off the glimmer of hope with two painful degrading days of unending insults delivered by a psychotic bitch that you have just let use you to move her latest sexual conquest.
Oh, Toaster, You let yourself be "Rebound Man" didn't you.

Well this calls for a hug.
I sometimes think that when you are already down you are bound to have one more good ass-kicking emotionally, because you are too preoccupied with dealing to see signs you would normally see. At least it works this way in my life. One bad thing will follow another. Once I give up, it gets better. Go figure. :/

That's because you quit looking for things, and just let stuff happen.

THat's the way it is when you deal with the general public, as the general public has no care or concern for anyone else. Some people I think actually wait around the corner until you light up a smoke, just to piss you off. Their life is miserable, so they feel the need to make anyone they come in contact with miserable.(anyone who has worked any customer service job know exactly what I mean)
I don't get what that kids appeal is. It's not funny, just dumb.
