What Would You Do for a Free Meal??

Would you stand in an hour long line in 100-degree weather? Apparently we would! Joe's BBQ had their annual Customer Appreciation Day where they serve dinner for free to all suckers willing to stand in line for it. We got a bbq sandwich, yummy baked beans and coleslaw along with a drink. Was it worth it? The jury is still out! It was yummy, though. I am still upset that my dumb computer wouldn't print out the coupons for the free KFC dinner promotion that ended today! At least we wouldn't have had to stand in line for that one, but alas, it is not to be. :o(
On a side note, Stephen is still unemployed and looking for a job. He applied for a job with Kalil Bottling Co to be a delivery driver delivering soda to various companies. They told him they would call for an interview when he turned in his application and if they didn't by Wed (today) to give them a call and they gave him a card. So, of course, they didn't call so he called them today and they said his application had been reviewed but not selected for consideration for the job....okay, so he asks them if they could tell him why and another guy comes on the phone and informs him he is not being considered for the job because he is "over-qualified". What?! Seriously?! He was taken aback because this is the first time this has happened to him. So, the job hunt continues....wish us luck!!

I love Joe's!! Logan wasnt up for the waiting in line stuff! I probably should thank him!! Have you checked www.providentliving.com its the lds employment. My friend owns a bug spraying company and was looking for bug spray technicians. I will ask her if they are still hiring!

Oh man. Sounds ridiculous! I've never heard of being "over-qualified!" Sounds bogus if you ask me.
Glad to hear you got a free dinner though! Those are always nice.
1. you don't have to think of anything for dinner
2. you don't have to cook! ha ha
3. what better than a couple hours of family time?
ha ha
4. You got a great hat out of the deal right? :]

Don't feel bad. I printed out the coupons, walked into KFC and walked right out! And hour and 20 minute wait for the free meal! Now you know that the BBQ was much tastier than KFC! Good luck in your search!
