Food and Cameras

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

So, today is Thursday. Thursday means Natalie, our help desk coordinator(slash office manager slash all-around great girl), is in the office. She works from home on Mondays through Wednesdays, but she comes in on Thursday, and today is Thursday.

Also today, Thursday, we had a departmental lunch with Mike Stanley, our account rep (or sales manager, or account sales, or whatever) for pbm. All these guys are great. When we re-did our network a few years ago, we got to work with a whole slew of the guys from pbm, and they’re all really smart and fun-to-be-with guys. Anyways, he came down and took us all to lunch, so we went to Taps in Brea.

Wow, this place is nice. First off, the ambience is that of a really nice establishment. Nice white tablecloths, wine glasses, napkins folded interestingly… Well, so it’s billed as a fish place, so everyone got fish (sans Kevin, who enjoyed a roast beef sandwich). We had 2 orders of salmon, some Ahi, some crab, and I forget what Mike Stanley got. I got the crab. It was this open-faced crab melt. Lots of crab meat blended with spices and mayonnaise tuna-salad-like, with melted cheese and some tasty sauce drizzled on top. Splendid!
