Gone, baby, gone

...but now I'm back. All it means is that I did indeed land some meaningful full-time work. The start of a new work enterprise invariably means a wrenching of the lunch diet. Yes, I am talking about A Lot of McDonald's Taken to go and Eaten in the Confines of My Car. In fact, here's a gastronomic breakdown of work week 1 and 2 lunch hours:

Friday (day 1) Employer-sponsored free lunch! (Corner Bakery)
Monday - McDonald's (Big N Tasty #4 meal) + Starbucks redeye
Tuesday - McDonald's (dbl cheese and fries - yesterday's leftover Sprite still cold and bubbly aww yeaaaaaah (lunch=$2.24!) + Starbucks Redeye
Wednesday - Wendy's (ckn homestyle meal) + Dunk Donuts coffee
Thursday - Chipotle (burr bol carnitas) + Starbucks coffee
Friday - Employer-sponsored free lunch! (Egg Harbor)
Monday - McDonald's (Big N Tasty #4) + Nordstrom's Cafe coffee
Tuesday - McDonald's (ckn club meal) *Employer knowing that I am coffee fiend purchases new c-maker and coffee supply = drinking office coffee
Wednesday - Chipotle (salad carnitas) + office cofee
Thursday - McDonald's (nuggets 10-piece ml) + Starbucks coffee
Friday - Employer-sponsored free lunch! (Lou Malnati's) + office coffee

What have we learned? I like cofee, carnitas, Big N Tasty meals (the cheapest ones) and more coffee.

BONUS: I work near McDonald's headquarters in Oak Brook...the fries have been damn hot every single time at the Oak Brook and Hinsdale Mickey D's. I'm lovin' it.
