Lunch adventure day 2. This time with another coworker who's purpose was to tell me the "unwritten rules" of the company. Subway humbled my foodie expectations, so I was eager to see where our destination would be. We landed here:
Picture it during the day in an abandoned strip mall overlooking the Interstate 45. When we walked inside, she said to me, "Now listen, I normally don't come here because a lot of folks from the company are usually here." As she says this, she's waving to various parties. She goes on to say "I need to tell you the unwritten rules, so we need to be careful where we sit. You can choose between the corner in the back or that table over there by the window". I've never been told the "unwritten rules" so I opted for the window table.
My favorite part of the meal, other than the unwritten rules, was my sweet coworker who right before I took my first bite, bowed her head. And as she looked up, I asked her if she blessed my burger. She said she did. And I was so grateful to be with her. In almost ten years of working in corporate America, I've never seen a coworker pray over a meal. God bless Texas.
YES. I had a burger with two coworkers my first week of work, and we were all kind of quiet for about 4-5 seconds before digging in. God bless Texas, indeed.
ReplyDeleteLove it - I guess its time to bring back into my work lunches the "scratch your eye" prayer trick.
