The Glorious Golden Arches

So my cat decided to shit right NEXT to the Box this morning. And it was mighty and was actually one of the most horrible things I had to endure. So theres me, with paper towels picking up a huge turd and gagging the whole swivel I had to make to deposit it in the toilet.

ANYWAYS. In all this madness, I forgot my lunch. Luckily, I realized this about half way through my drive so I had time to make a strategy. See the thing is, where I work we have double parking (aka, I'm the intern who has to get their first, aka my cars trapped. Oh and did I mention I was running late? Well anyways it had to be quick and it had to keep. (we have a fridge, so that opened options). And let's just say I don't work in the best part of town *aka can't walk anywhere *.   So it was going to have to be fast food.

Which is totally annoying because , if I'm going to get fast food, I want to enjoy it. If I'm making the choice to hate myself, I gotta like the journey if not the end. So I'm thinking of places near work (Burger King... do they even have breakfast?)

Finally my savior appears. I see the golden curvature of McDonalds. (and they have a drive through so avoiding ghetto +2) I remember they have salads, things are looking up.

I pull up and a lady with an electronic pad walks towards me. A moment of panic.... Do they serve salad at 8:46 am?

"What can I get you?"
"Do you have salads?"
"Yes"
"Can I have that?" I'm a bit flustered, time is running out.
"What kind?"
(Let it be known their was no menu behind here, this mcdonalds must have a LOYAL clientele)
"Ummm what do you have?"

She lists off a couple when I hear "Caesar Salad", which I tell her I want. She looks solemn.
"There's no chicken though" 
"That's fine" I could honestly care less at this point I'm just desperate. I think she had informed me of this fact at the beginning and is totally weirded out at my lack of interest. 


I then pull up to pay for the salad. The women goes to finish the transaction. "You know there's no chicken."
"So I've heard" Why is everyone so enthused about the chicken. I was actually sorta starting to think I was missing some marvel. 


Anyways, I get to the office on time, no one steals my food from the community fridge (which I was SURE was going to happen on a day like today) and it was actually pretty solid. Even without chicken.
