Tortilla Soup and Pork Carnitas Tacos
Sometimes going out to work with your Podmates (I have two. Both girls, and they are so cute and funny and chatty), perhaps to Baja Fresh, where they give you slices of lime for your ice tea (I love this) and 8 kinds of salsa, including this new spicy one that is so good, plus a basket of chips, just for you (you, you, you. No one is reaching their fingers in and eating them because your co-workers have their own baskets of chips…
And even if they didn’t? Unlike your family members, Your Podmates Have Manners and would not swipe your food willy-nilly. At least not this early in the Podmate Game)…
…sometimes, it leaves you energized for the afternoon and refreshed. Like an icy glass of ice tea, with lime.
And sometimes, it leaves you longing to leave work, with your Podmates, and all go for pedicures. And mimosas.
We do work for the government. Don’t government employees do things like that?
We didn’t.
