No Cells at Subway

There’s a Subway just down the street from where I work, which is just next door to a large university. Whoever franchised that spot struck gold because it pulls in huge crowds during the lunch time hours. They actually have two lines leading to two sets of sandwich artistry going on at the same time, as well as a drive-thru. It’s bustling.

You ever had a co-worker run to pick up food for the group? Or maybe dad’s got a family to feed and will just go it alone? The modern age affords those individuals the ability to quickly and easily confirm or update orders via the cell phone. Just recently my own dad called to ask what I wanted on the sub he was picking up for me. It’s like the folks you see wandering around Blockbuster, carefully scanning the rows and recounting what’s available to whomever is listening on the other end. But at Blockbuster you’re not doing this while the director is carefully crafting the movie just for you. At Subway you’ve got the sandwich artist to consider, as well as those standing behind you.

So they posted a sign:

It says:

Attention:
Please no use of cell phones while placing and paying for your order…
Thank you, mgmt.

Note that the photo above was taken with my cell phone. But I was not ordering nor was I paying. I was well within my rights.

The other morning it was just the baby and I at home. I decided to fry a couple of eggs to eat for breakfast while I fed her. I crack the first one over the pan, let it cook a bit and then fold it over. I grab the second egg out of the carton, crack it on the edge of the pan and out from within drops two egg yolks. Twins!

Not something that’s happened to me before. I’d like to think its due to a natural course of development and not some super fertility drug injected at the chicken factory.

You use Gmail? I do. You know the little Web Clips that appear above the inbox (or whatever particular “box” in which you’re looking)? Well I had just cleared out my Spam area and noticed a Spam specific recipe web clip. I clicked for the next clip and there was another, and another…

I stopped clicking after five items. Recipesource.com is apparently the place for Spam related cooking. (Fried spam was actually a favorite breakfast of mine as a kid. No recipe needed, just throw a slice on the frying pan and let cook!)
