[Eoscstudents] Menu for Tues. Oct. 6

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

Wow, if this keeps up, some of us are going to have to start coming to 
work by boat!  I passed by lots of ditches this morning that were 
overflowing and not far from running onto the highway.  They always say 
rainy weather is good sleeping weather and I believe it, because I slept 
soundly all night long, and didn't even know for sure it was raining til 
I poked my head out this morning, but it has evidently been at it quite 
a while for there to be this much water standing all over.  Looking at 
the forecast, we'd best be prepared for more to come, too.

I want to remind the students that if you have a schedule that prevents 
you from being able to make it to the Cafeteria by the 1:15 closing time 
some days, we will work with you to see that you get to eat.  Just bring 
a copy of your schedule so that we can verify that your schedule is 
causing a conflict and we will see to it that you get to eat on those 
overbooked days.  You can order off the Grill and pay with your meal 
ticket or if there's some of the main line lunch left and you'd rather 
have that just ask.  We're here to serve you.

We got the official notice at our house the other day that our address 
has changed.  That's something I never thought would  happen, since I 
didn't move and never intend to move.  (It's too big a pain!)   I was 
all for us getting the 9-1-1 emergency system, but didn't realize it 
would literally hit me where I live, causing all my address labels, 
checks, and various forms of ID to become incorrect.  I just figured if 
the emergency people were smart enough to take care of every emergency 
they were smart enough to figure out where your house was once you gave 
them your address.  Evidently though, everything has to be changed to a 
totally numerical system, which may help emergency personnel, but it's 
going to confuse the heck out of me, and I suspect a whole lot of other 
folks who have lived around here for years and know streets and roads by 
their real names.  The really bad part is, I know if I have an actual 
life and death emergency, I'm gonna be on that phone screaming for them 
to get to my old "real" address I've had all these years at the top of 
my lungs, and any part of that long numbered thing they've stuck me with 
will be the last thing on my mind.  (I'd probably come about as close to 
being able to give them my GPS coordinates, and I don't have a clue what 
those are.)  I hope they know how to cross-reference their maps.   Wish 
all us old-timers luck with this newfangled system!  It feels like when 
they tried to switch us all to the metric system!

Our menu for today includes:
            Meatloaf
            Mashed potatoes and gravy
            Corn
            Winter blend vegetables
            Hot rolls
            Chicken strips
            French fries

And for dessert, have some Peach Cobbler or Chocolate Cake.

Keep dry,

Rhoda   :-)  

P. S.  Don't forget about our coffee, cappuccino and regular and 
sugar-free Hot Chocolate to take the chill off on these wet and chilly 
days to come.
