Everything is better with pie

muckefuckMy plans to observe π day by consuming a chicken pot pie at Whole Paycheck were thwarted; apparently they've "discontinued them". So I was forced to content myself with chicken salad. I got there a little later than 1:59 as I'd planned on, which might explain the heightened biddy factor: I got stuck behind a little old woman with a walker (or moving at walker-aided speed) no less than four times. The best was the little dear who didn't know how to work the card reader and turned out to have an invalid card and no cash. (In the express line, natch.)
Fortunately, I have the kind of supremely awesome coworkers who would organise a BYOP eating orgy in the staff lounge. In fact, this is why I went out for pot pie--so I wouldn't stuff my face with the sugary stuff. But I craved consolation after my failed errand and ended up taking wahfer-thin slices of sweet potato, pecan, heath bar, and key lime. Mmmm...
There were also moon pies present, so I made some reference to growing up "north of the moon pie line" to explain my indifference. The sparked a discussion of similar isopleths such as the sweet tea line and the RC cola line. I also discovered--in the course of about twenty minutes--that (a) the head of the organisation had to make her own slide rule in school and (b) a woman brought a cat with her to my workplace on Saturday and still had it when she was found sleeping here this morning.
