"You're a Legend!"

Thursday

While Megan, was TBPM staff member Monday and Tuesday, a fellow named Taylor came yesterday and today. When they arrived he informed me that some of the kids had been talking about me last night.  I guess it's nice to know that I'm different enough from the norm for some high schoolers to remember me at least into the evening.  I guess I have to stand in as a pale shadow of the wildness that is Nancy.  She was at the warehouse briefly one day this week, but the youth did not get to spend any length of time with her.  Instead I got to inform them about the mission and functioning of Fair Foods.

It was curious how each group had a different feel.  On Monday, the group was a little older (late high school students), and they were very interested in learning about the waste in our society, about how Fair Foods operated, and about the Market.  On Tuesday, the group seemed very interested in me, and how I'd come to Boston, where I went to school, what I studied, and so forth.  Wednesday, and today the groups seemed more interested in having fun amongst themselves, playing word games (Name a famous person whose name begins with the last letter of the previous name) and puzzle games.  Having spent three years in college, I was familiar with all of their puzzle games, and even contributed one of my own ("Ok, This is an Onion!").  Unfortunately one of these kids had just learned about The Game, and proceeded to make me lose.  Being the first person in Boston to independently make me lose The Game in almost a month, I wasn't thrilled, but was quite amused.

If you don't know about The Game, then I am sorry I must be the bearer of bad news.

The Rules:
1. Everyone is playing The Game at all times.
2. If you think about The Game, you lose, and are granted a small grace period of forgetting.
3. If you lose The Game, you must announce this loss to those around you.

While I wasn't on the truck today, we set a new record: 11 plates of food were brought to us!  Fortunately that was enough that I got some of the delicious leftovers, despite working at the warehouse all day.
