Happy Tartan Day
Today, April 6th is Tartan Day! What is tartan day you ask? Well the definition from some random site I found on google says: �April 6th is a national holiday in Canada and the United States to honor the Scots who have helped to make both countries great.� So being that I’m not Scottish you may ask why I care. Well I care because my supervisor/trainer at work is Scottish. Very Scottish. He says hes seen Nessy! No really! Well anyway, the real point is that to celebrate Tartan Day he brought in all this nifty British snack food for us during our break! Some of it was semi-normal stuff, just with nifty British names and packages (malted milk balls and such) but some of it was really odd and good! The carbury flake bar that I actually snuck home with me was oh so good…mmmm….chocolate dipped in chocolate. But the weirdest stuff had to be some of the bags of �crisps� (aka potato chips to us Americans). I just finished off the little bag of Walkers brand �Roast Chicken� flavor chips! I kid you not. They are good but strange sorta in that they really taste like roast chicken….but in chip form. And according to the package they are �Suitable for vegetarians�, which sorta makes me wonder exactly what the chicken flavor is but then again they are good so who cares!
Other then the uber cool snacks work was mostly uneventful. People finished working on their unknown samples and we went over the first 7 as a group. Tomorrow we will go over the last three and then do the 10 all over again. If everyone is ok with it we may even get to do the exam Thursday instead of Friday which is just fine with me. Last hour or so of the day we got to finish watching refer madness and then watched �Coke Fiends� which was way worse then refer madness in that it didn’t make much sense really. While it was funny and all I think the message was sort of lost in that one of the girls and the cop tracking the �dope pushers� ended up happy and together at the end. So the message could almost be that they owe their happiness to Cocaine. But it was made in 1936 so what did we really expect?
