Every weekday morning at 9 I’ve got a status meeting at work. Usually after the status meeting I stop by the lunchroom and buy a scone and a caffeinated soda. The scones often sell out, and my favorite kind of soda can also sell out. So, I usually check when I go in to avoid disappointment.
Today I saw my favorite kind of scone and soda sitting there, so went in. Then I stopped at the giant pumpkin. They’re having a contest to guess the weight to win 2 free lunches. You are not allowed to lift or touch the pumpkin. You are only allowed one guess. I made a guess and submitted my answer. When I turned around, the last scone and my soda were gone. Very sad. But, that is the cost of pondering pumpkin poundage…
