oddly specific

I get sent on annoying errands for work all the time. They're especially annoying when they involve vague (non kosher) food requests. If i had an assistant, i think i'd still do all my own work (too much of a control freak) except it would be handy to send her on annoying errands. I'd have to be annoyingly specific though.... please pick up a small fountain soda. flavor: dr pepper. if no dr pepper, a pepsi. if no pepsi, cherry coke is ok. if no cherry coke, nothing. no cans and no bottles, fountain only. if you can fill the cup yourself, tilt the cup and hit the lever so the soda hits the side of the cup and not the bottom (decreases the foam), stop every few seconds and re-start, i think it makes it more syrupy that way.

i have issues.

Awkward

awkward: having to pick up lunch for a professor you work for.

more awkward: having to pick up food from a non kosher restaurant/food truck for a professor you work for.

most awkward: having to pick up food from a non kosher restaurant/food truck -- with potential of being spotted by a) college students who know your husband is the "campus rabbi" and/or b) colleagues who know you can only eat special *kosher* food.

Let's just hope everyone around here is dan l'kaf zechus....
