Christmas in May

So there is a new Potbelly's opening at Clark & Diversey and today they gave out free food from 11-1 in preparation. Apparently that is how they do training for new places...which is an excellent idea.

So we had a bunch of coupon things at work and you bring that and a pal and get free Potbelly's. Sounds good. My "pal" was some new guy who is an agent and so far seems like a tool. Liiiiike...he asked what I did and I told him and I guess all her "heard" was the part of updating where i update the database...and so later when we were in line he was like, "So you just sit at the computer ALL day and input information?" Yeeeah....so he totally missed the part when I said I update the books while standing at the counter with all the books and gesturing to them...aaaand the entire part about processing...which became super obvious when I repeated it and was saying luckily I haven't yet had to call anyone to tell them they've been rejected...and he was like, "Rejected? For what?" Um...to rent the apartment. Yeah...they guy had NO idea that you have to apply for apartments, you don't just magically get to rent them...and that is his job...to get people to apply...ooooh boy.

Despite that it was the most fun I have had in Potbellys ever. Free sandwich, free drink, free chips, everything was free! Just take it! Free delicious cookie! And then there were two guys walking around passing out samples of soup and shakes. So I had a nice appetizer of chocolate shake, strawberry shake, broccoli cheddar soup, and chili. Fabulous.

Ok, now that I've typed it, it doesn't seem as excited as it did in my head. Oh, I forgot the part at the end where they gave me a bag and so I had this big bag of free goodies and a tiny cup of soup for the walk back. Fabulous...like Orbit gum.
