We prayed at our corporate awards dinner. I kept my eyes to see if I could spot Trump. He was everywhere.

not the top level execs, but most of the senior directors and vp's at our "campus" wear jeans when they're not in fancy meetings with outside companies
Elway's if you're feeling like a baller.
Not a baller but have well funded expense account. Also foumd Chik fil A. It appears to be the busiest fast food. What would @Toshi do?
I would buy a regular chicken sandwich (with the pickle) and a pack of their nugget-equivalents. And maybe a frosted lemonade, because that shit's delicious.
In related but other ethnic food news I have discovered that "Thai hot" is perhaps a notch or two too hot for me in my dotage.
I had a Bloody Mary somewhere in the Denver Airport last Saturday but it was very early and did not eat at the bar. I did have a chik-fil-A chicken biscuit though. Always an A Number One choice.
I went from a ~250 person, $Xmil/yr revenue company at a single site that required ties, to a ~60,000 people, $XXbil/yr revenue company all over the globe, and jeans/button up shirts is predominant up until upper management (ie: hundred of direct reports).
EDIT - just came across this on my company's wiki page....pretty funny.
I'm basically a drug kingpin

Had my best interview ever in my life today. I am still shaking a little.
Apartment should be online today. A lot of hard work from wife and I and the agent did a great job.

Same. I work for a global company with +155,000 employees and who knows how much revenue. Only the very top directors are found to be in ties. Some simply wear jeans and button up shirt. Some engineers in this building wear hoodies. I rock a polo and jeans with worn out safety shoes. I think shorts might push it, but fuck I would love to wear some.
You gotta be careful with that... and depending on the place too. At U.S. Thai Cafe near Sloan's Lake their "medium" would qualify as "Thai Hot" at many other Thai food places...
I usually have to go to a Thai or Indian place a few times and order Thai Hot or Indian Hot before they take me seriously. Rarely do I get a dish that is what I would call hot. Sometimes I'll order 2x Indian hot when I need some pain.
I used to have a colleague from India who would always order extra spicy Vindaloo + extra hot peppers puree on the side to take it to eleven.
Yeah, that side of chili puree is usually how I get them to light this white boy up.
Actually, yes. If you're still on the company dime, walk over to Elway's for a steak & martinis. I think that's at B.
We got Lamb Vindaloo hot from a local Indian place last year. It was so hot that I couldn't finish it, but we still took it home. When we didn't eat it, I ended up just tossing it. Unfortunately, this is when Layla was still getting into the trash and eating food that was thrown away. She ate all of it. A full family sized serving.
I was down in the basement and heard her whining to go out and did such. Once I realized that she had eaten the lamb, I went outside to check on her and she was eating a ton of grass (I'm assuming for flavor?). The next day, she was waiting to get let out in the morning and that poor girl... Crying and whimpering with every poop. But dragging after every poop came out, then pooping again. It went on for almost the entire day. On a side note, she doesn't get into the trash anymore.

Hot is relative
Oog... pulled road bike off hook, pumped up tires, 46 miles, only 2,200' of climbing, but I'm broken. North wind notable on the return leg. Starting to address that by eating an eclair.
Ended up eating at Elways with a collegue who was on the same flight. I had a wedge salad, basic buger and habanero 3 bean salad. $48 with tip. It was good.
I still have 3 hours until my flight. If I wasnt already an over fed long haired sleepy eyed midget I'd hit Chick fil A before boarding.

You should get some artisan IPAs.
I respect and admire your companies rich history in the legacy drug trade... Does Merck supply the White House?
I had an artisan IPA with lunch. It was not memorable. I may be beered out for awhile.You should get some artisan IPAs.
Interesting.
I had a fresh Maple Bacon Donut this morning from the sweetheart in the Bread Department @ my Winter weekend work.
Finally am near complete with my 3 year old Telecaster. Was able to get prep done for one of the guys at the shop; still to do intonation and relief, result: another Frankencaster on the Earth.
And a 50Watt Marshall combo.

Kids talked me into a run down Banana Chute today. Fortunately the entrance was MUCH nicer than last year.
Legs cooked up good.

Commuter aircraft are the suck. Did have plain Chik fil A with pickles and a large lemonaide. Final boarding happened while I was at the urinal. Last one to board. Shitting next to wookie. Happy I fit in seat. Stewardess is Swedish, accent and all.
You must be a popular traveler around your parts!
Won't that get all matted in the wookie's fur ?
Wife just told me that one of the worlds best ultra endurance cyclists was killed earlier during a race across Australia.
Mike Hall had crushed most of the endurance cycling records. By chance I bunked with him before the start of racing Tour Divide in 2011.
We'd only watched the DVD Inspired to Ride covering his attempt at the transcontinental race across the USA a few weeks ago.
Sucks to get squashed by a car

Sucks about Hall
Just finished an easy 40 minute recovery spin on the trainer to stretch everything out from yesterdays burn fest on the elliptical. I have another easy day planned for tomorrow so that I have fresh legs for a 4-5 hour ride on Saturday

Yes, that displays seem like a bad plan. I think the flight attendant was a man at some point...
