Debt $ense

Sorry for my disappearance yesterday. It was local Election Day, which meant I was a bit tied up at work. The good news (other then that sanity reigned in the election results) is that we always get pizza on Election Night. Our top editor builds it into the budget because we’re all running around like nuts from about 6:30 p.m. until well after 10. He figures the least he can do is feed us.

We’ve always gotten Domino’s before, mostly because their Philly Cheese Steak pizza was a huge favorite. Well, a new local pizza place opened up a few weeks ago around the corner from us. Really, really great pizza. I talked our boss into letting me try and get them to give us a deal so we could get enough pizza within his budget to feed the newsroom. It worked!

So I was able to get my new favorite pizza for free (since work paid) and then he took those of us who hung in until the end out for a beer after. Again, I didn’t have to pay. So I had good takeout and a free drink, with no cost to me. Can’t beat that!
