I really cannot afford more than a 1 day trial, if I have to go. There are parts of the transition I need to do. I guess I'll have to set everything up so that someone else can just drop it in.

And I guess I'll find out if I have to show up tomorrow evening.

My workplace annual celebration has a food theme. We play family feud, so my coworker made a survey to collect responses. Want to help fill it in? It's also kinda fun (and pretty!): [link]

Then come back and discuss any of the questions you had trouble with. Because I am at work and it is slow.

Another name for a potluck? Varsity menu?

I had trouble with many of them, flea, not having much experience with southern food.

The ones I left blank were: another name for potluck, famous southern chef, flavour of Moon pie, item on the Varsity menu, cultures rep in southern cooking, and name of resto in Athens.

There are flavours of Iced Tea?

Potluck, I have something on. Varsity Menu, nsm.

Oh yeah, Sue's, too, except the famous chef and the iced tea.

Oh, wow. That questionnaire is like gibberish to me.

The Varsity is a local restaurant, so it's not too surprising that was weird. It's sort of an old-school burgers place, not actually very good. [link]

I couldn't think of another name for a potluck, and I wrote that there should not be flavors of iced tea (although I've seen peach). Also, what do you tailgate at besides football?

I said a concert for tailgating. And for flavors of iced tea, I thought peach but wrote lemon.

I think I can pass for an American pretty well, but there are some basic tests I fail horribly at. Thankfully there were no food questions on the citizenship test.

I think the jury panel was as decent a cross-section of LA citizens as I've encountered in a while, and two things struck me--lots of accents and names I'd be likely to mispronounce (but mine wasn't mispronounced once, halloo Latino influence), and how am I not in the entertainment industry? All the cool kids are doing it, and evidently some of the dorks.
