You're thinking to yourself right now "Oh great. Another fresh-mex restaurant in a strip mall." And...well...yes. Yes it is. And yes, the other half of the building IS occupied by Starbucks.
The staff is having a difficult time with the television, which has a big funky menu over the picture. They can't get it to go away. Apparently, the problem is that the satellite receiver is somewhere else in the building. So Employee is pointing the remote at the TV and pushing buttons, but nothing is happening. The other employees are being helpful by laughing at her.
"It won't work from there!"
"But the box is right back there!"
"Well try it from back here!"
Other Employee takes a post in front of the TV while Employee wanders the building pointing the remote in the air and pushing buttons.
"Is it gone?"
"No"
"Now?"
"No"
"Now?" At this point she's standing in the door of the men's bathroom, probably aiming at the urinals.
"I can't believe you went in there!"
"Now?"
"No!"
They're all laughing hysterically at this point when the menu goes away. Employee comes out and sees this.
"You're not going to tell me what you did, are you?"
It's December 12, and my Christmas shopping is done. Almost all of it was done online and almost all of it has arrived, is wrapped, and under the tree. Christmas cards went out last week.
I am SO far ahead of the game this year it's scary.
