So today is my first day of law school, and I was informed there would be a lunch. Upon inquiring further, I was told there would be a vegan option. I kid you not, it was lettuce with a tomato in it. Wilted lettuce with brown edges and a mushy tomato. There was also Lay's potato chips, and a bottle of water.
If you are friends with me on Facebook, I have posted the pathetic photo. Maybe I was spoiled in the Pacific Northwest, but this ****ing sucks. |

I think I just threw my back out lifting a footstool. It wasn't even heavy, I think I just lifted it incorrectly. Up until now, I've been going about my business as if I weren't pregnant, but I think today might be the day I have to slow down. I had just started my daily chores and now I'm stuck on the sofa looking at my messy flat. I am very particular about everything being in its place and this is driving me crazy!! I keep getting up to at least put the vacuum away, put the footstool back, do the dishes... but every time I stand, it hurts and I have to sit back down again. Grrrrrrr.

I feel for you! I so hated the last couple months of pregnancy. With my second I had horrid heartburn. Funny too that he has stomach issues.
When are you due? I suggest having plan a, b, c, and d! |

I hate it when I catch up with an old friend I hadn't seen online in years and when they ask me what's new and in an entire paragraph about what's new in my life I also have the words "vegan 3 years" that they then just focus on that. Seriously, this one (now former) friend immediately told me that I have to eat meat and that I need meat. Then she told me she would be OK with it if I didn't try to "convert her". When I called her out on being a hypocrite for trying to convince me to give up my ethics, she kept saying she didn't want to talk about this issue, but immediately would include some negative comment in the same message about veganism, or something "positive" about meat eating. Right as I was dropping her as a friend, she told me I could be "as crazy as I want, as long as I don't bring it up again" and then recalled a story about how she used to slaughter cows on the farm she grew up with and how they "didn't suffer", and that I shouldn't feel guilty and "eat normal food".
GRRRRR! Sorry for the rant. Also, been awhile since I have been on here, I hope everypony is doin' better than I. |
I don't mention them that often. They're 21 and 25 now, the older one still with me. they're both such great people, at completely opposite ends of the personality spectrum!

I will say: Offering no option is better than what you got yesterday ![]() |

I brought some McDougal's Noodles today, tomorrow I'm bringing dinner leftovers.
It just totally screwed up my shopping because they told me explicitly that there would be vegan options. I am on a harsher budget than I have ever been in my life, I don't even have internet at home, or TV or basic furniture and i had counted on them providing lunch this week. So now i am eating half my dinner tonight soI can have lunch tomorrow, because god knows what swill they are going to try to pass off as vegan. /grumpy |
Today's lunch: Pizza. Cheese or Cheese and Pepperoni.
Why does the meal coordinator here hate vegans? ****ing *******s. |

I agree. It's unacceptable. Is there someone you could approach about the lunch options?

Well... s***! I ordered a pizza online from a store that does vegan pizza, and forgot to click the "no cheese" option. Only noticed when I opened the box. Unfortunately, it was too expensive (over $20) for me to just not eat it, and I know no one else at this house will want it.

Tomorrow's the last day of it, so I'm just going to ride it out.
This never would have happened in Washington -_- |
Naw, nothing that good. one piece of stale bread with some peanut butter on it, more likely.
