i thought they were joking

yesterday afternoon, an email circulated the office that today would be a day-long tailgate/celebration of the AFC championship game. steeler songs are being played over the intercom. we've transformed our town hall, a large meeting space most often used for gathering about and/or eating lunch, into a psuedo parking lot. this afternoon, there will be all kinds of shit apparently. sausages, pierogies (which are big tailgate food in these parts), soda, and regretably no beer. what kind of tailgate is it without booze? damn, i thought i'd be able to get behind this activity, in spite of the email having yellow background and black letters. just when i thought i could participate, they take my lifeline away. oh well.

and my subject line? they talked about kicking off the day with black and gold bagels. i only wish that was a joke....
