so tired of scratchy contacts. it makes this whole beautiful season hurt... only three more days until the dad tries to create a memorable thanksgiving day meal by pressure cooking a turkey. side note: NOT NORMAL!!! who really pressure cooks anything these days? instead, i think he is going to treat us to a fine meal at the old country buffet

It's hard for me to admit this, but I worked at the old country buffet one summer. I was the salad bar bitch and occasionally, I had to dress up in the O. C. Bee costume and parade around giving children balloons and free meal coupons. It was terrible. It's sad to say that their busiest day of the month is when welfare checks come in and on that day, I had to prepare massive loads of the cold salad selections. hell. After work I used to lay outside on the concrete and suck all the helium out of the left over balloons with a boy named Po Po.

when you eat your thanksgiving meal, think of me and how I made those goddamn salads at one point in time. haha.

i know because of the concept of a 'buffet' is not being able to take home leftovers... but i will, for the first time in my life, accessorize my tacky holiday sweater with snowmen and fluffy snowballs that dangle from it, with a purse that can hold lots of meatloaf and stuffing, if you'd like... i know because when i quit working at roundtable in high school i went through withdrawls... i also stopped gaining weight like a moo cow. but if you'd like i will smuggle some pumkin pie or something... shit i'll take orders if anyone wants!

actually, when I worked there, I completely lost my desire to eat much of anything. I spent my days strung out on watered down coffee and sticky buns. some people take the concept of an all-you-can-eat buffet way too far. watching 300 pounders devour endless amounts of honey baked ham and instant mashed potatoes doesn't do much for your appetite. the funny thing about it was that the OCB that I worked at was right next to a weight watchers clinic. I think that was planned.

I remember the days before I worked there, when all-you-can-eat buffets were kind of fun in that trashy, tv dinner quality way. unfortunately, my buffet days are over and I've moved on to canned and/or microwavable food and day old pizza.

happy thanksgiving :)
