Warm Food, Hot Diner

[eggwards]

For my days at the new job, i've been having lunch in the company cafeteria. This is a grown up cafeteria with actual good food. the job that I've had previously that came closest to having an employee cafeteria was when I worked for Target and they had "Food Avenue." The special corn dogs didn't quite match the baked ziti I can now get at the new cafeteria.

Of course you have to pay for any of the food, be it burgers or tortelini or barbecue that you order, and there's a little discount, but I'm not sure that I will actually eat there every day since I could save money bringing in some frozen entrees and such. The company campus is so far out in the country, that there aren't fast food restaurants around for another four exits. Very different from being in Houston's Greenway Plaza that was surrounded by choices. Still, the food company (which thankfully is not Aramark) does keep a pretty good variety on hand.

I'm also having a tough time bringing food right now, because I'm still in training and don't have a desk yet.

Of course, I have a reason to keep going to the cafeteria, and hopefully keep the same 12:30 time. There's been this guy, goatee, short hair and built. He's a little shorter than I, and he's absolutely packed with muscles and a V shape from his broad shoulders to this waist. He's not thin, he's very beefy and hot, with a great butt that fills in a pair of kakhis just right. His arms are like oaks, though he does seem to shave, which is unnecessary, in my book.

I'm trying not to keep staring at him, but man, it's hard. I was behind him in line the other day, and I'm surprised he didn't turn around and ask what all the panting was about. I'm trying not to stalk him, but I want to know more about him, you know? Can't he be my at-work boyfriend?

I've already told Chris that if i ever have the chance to make it with this guy, I'm going to take it. It's probably my one time to make it with someone who could be classified as a Colt model.

I decided to get a gym membership at work. Just one of the other perks we get, with the gym being next to the cafeteria. I'm not sure if he works out there, since the weights look a little light for someone so built, but it can't hurt my chances, right?

Oh Aramark is GROSS! They basically forced my college into breaking their contract with them... it just got worse and worse (it was still "Fine Host" :P then).

Sodexho is not much better...

Maybe you have Guckenheimer or Bon Appetit instead? Bon Appetit did a great job at my old school and

My partner drmrdave also complains about Aramark. We have them where I work, just across the road from him, and it's pretty darn good!

The absolute worst is AVI. When I worked at Kodak, they had the contract for the plant I worked at and it was SWILL.

Aramark was at the Univ of houston for many years, and it was terrible. they were also responsible for removing Coca-Cola from all of the camps too, which sucked, but helped our fraternity make a lot of under the counter money reselling it.

No, we have Sodexho. I guess they just have a good contract where we work.

Aramark is bad, and I hate to see them at sporting events, too, since they serve a lot of the professional stadiums.

We got "Eurest" where I work within the last year. It was definitely an improvement over "Custom Food Group."

This is a group called Solexho or something. Really, the quality of the food can often be regulated by the size of the contract - or if the contract is about to come up again.

Names aren't really a thing these companies spend a lot of time on, are they?
