A few props and drops

Hey everyone, I have a few props and drops for you.

I'll start with the negative. Today that negative is focused squarely on the dining hall. Seriously, someone must think that we love to wait in line for 20 minutes before eating. Do they think we do this at home? Do they think that before Thanksgiving dinner my family lines up outside waiting to eat?

It's a given that we have to wait in line at the Fishbowl/Haffey Cafe, there's no avoiding that. But for the past two nights I went to the dinning hall at 6 and had to wait between 15-20 minutes for the main entree. This is at 6 PM waiting for the main meal that they serve! How could you not be prepared right in the middle of the dining hall hours? Did someone think that know one would possibly want to eat their dinner at 6 and it would be fine?

And there was nothing the poor servers could do but apologize to us, but we all know it wasn't there fault, there we just the ones to shoulder the blame. It was really someone in the kitchen that screwed up (two nights in a row, mind you).

Both times it was chicken too, so I apologize if the reason was something that was unavoidable (like equipment suddenly breaking or if they had to take time to kill the chickens first), but if I have to wait for my meal again tomorrow, then I'm going to start turning to Subway to satisfy my meals. At least there I won't have to wait as long.

(And by the way, if someone does know the reason why this happened then please post it in the comment section.)

And now to my prop:
The beginning of floor hockey season tonight!
My team, The Unicorns of Death, begin our quest for the cup tonight. We bare the slogan: Impaling the Competition in 2007, so hopefully this is our year. But win of lose, you gotta love intermurals, they're a great source of fun and help you get some exercise and forget about work or school for a few hours.

So major props to them and Go Unicorns of Death!
