A Man of Letters, Part Two
Dear Lawfirm Community Relations Department-
This is a belated thank you for what I imagine was a highly informative recruitment luncheon for tutoring children in inner-city Boston. It's true I showed up an hour late, missing your entire lecture and power-point presentation. I also didn't take home any literature or sign up later to tutor a child.
That's why it's especially generous that I was still able to visit the conference room after everyone was gone and load up on lasagna, enormous meatballs and chicken and broccoli ziti. And caesar salad. Not only did I eat my fill at lunch that day, you allowed me to go find a take-out box at a nearby cafe and fill it up with some leftovers. Well technically you didn't "allow" me to do anything, seeing that I was the only one in the conference room, but I assume you would be very happy it was me who prevented all that delicious* food from going to waste.
After all, I love children.
Thanks again,
Jesse
*The lasagna was actually a bit overcooked and salty but hey, that's cool.

see, you bring it on yourself. you can't give us shit for teasing you about your leftover habit.
Want my half eaten cornbread?
i have some leftover onion and chicken tendons if you want them. there is also one lindt raspberry-filled chocolate ball that is only slightly flattened on one side. otherwise it is perfectly good.
i'll take the chocolate ball, actually.
Yuk it up, kids. Wait until the apocalypse when I'm in my fallout shelter, fortified with months of leftovers.
"Sorry Griff, not a tendon to spare," is what I'll say. Then you will cry and eat nuclear snow.
so you want the tendons is what you're saying?
I believe lasagna is the future, cook it well and let it lead the way...
jesse, you crack me up. reminds me of a charity benefit i went to a couple of weeks ago where i went and ate a bunch of yummy treats off of the trays being passed around, and then left before the dinner-less presentation. :)
power point presentations add class & professionalism to every event. They say "I have a command over technology. Look, I threw some numbers and graphics together to provide the ideal visual compliments to the topics of which i am speaking. Check out this line graph"
Oh man... I am SO glad I am not the only one that does that. I say if there aren't snacks, then its not really a presentation.
Funny. Jesse, nice t'meet you. You are a very talented writer. I love the way you think. I love the way you think. I love the way you think. r
