The Joy and Zen that is Free Lunch

Conditional love is such a dirty thing.

My Director leaving the Agency has lead to copius amounts of Free Lunch this week. Yesterday, we all went to DiMillo's in Portland. It's called the Floating Restaurant because it's actually on this big boat. Honestly, it's vastly overrated, but when it's on the Agency's dime, it's worth it. Also we ate out on the deck of the boat yesterday, overlooking the ocean, with a nice gentle breeze. Fuck, how can you beat having a free two hour lunch AND getting paid for it. I love working for this agency.

I think I've eaten there, after a few of us went to a Mastering Studio up in Maine.

Food was kinda poor, but the view wasn't too bad.

Yeah, I certainly would never go there if I had to pay for the food. I'm not a big seafood fan so I ordered a Cheeseburger. It was okay, not the worst I've had, but certainly not the best either.

Last Friday fate chained together very well for the pursuit of eating without paying.

Breakfast - Payday, hence Brian the Manager bought pastry for everyone

Lunch - Ryan the Supervisor's last day, hence pizza and cake

Dinner - parents and sister drop by bearing pizza

Overall money spent that day on food: $0.

This weekend's score: 3/4 lb. of fresh caught tuna, provided by a buddy who fishes

Served some as sushi, cut the rest into small steaks which I rubbed with pepper and lime juice before searing in sesame oil.

Well, I was lined up for a free lunch buffet at the Golf Tournament. But golfers are fucking slow and so lunch was not to begin until 1 PM. Plus there was nothing else for me to do, so I bailed. However the free Coffee and Bagels were quite glorious.

Delicious treked across Boston to one of the few "Popeye's" locations in the state. Lunch is his donation of 2 pieces of joyous bowel destruction.

Good News: Free Filet Mignon on Sept. 20th

Good news: It's not Maine.

AFK · August 26, 2008, 07:55:53 PM

Bad news: It's not in Vegas.

Question: Open Bar?

AFK · August 26, 2008, 08:01:12 PM

Answer: Good Question.

Could be worse: It could be in CT.
