Just got back from a most excellent lunch at Papa Lou's.  Such a great place to eat, but you can't eat there often as the food is just a little too greasy!  Most everyone from work went so we pretty much took up the entire patio area, but it was nice having so many people because you could jump from conversation to conversation.  Although when ever Andre starts talking everyone stops what they are doing to listen because you just know he'll say something you can poke fun at him for.

The downside is that ever since I've been back from lunch the phone hasn't stopped ringing!  I've had to deal with whining sales rep's wanting me to buy their product, bitching customers who refuse to remove Kazza from their computer and wonder why they get pop up ads from our application, 3rd party vendors who's hardward has known bugs relating to thier issue that insist it's our fault eventhough none of the 9 other (related) vendors have that problem and last but not least I have a head cold so it isn't making things any better. 

I won't let any of this hinder my good time this weekend.  I'm looking so forward to spending time away from everything familiar.  Most of the trips we go on are to family and friends, but this is one of the few that will be to see friends but in unfamiliar territory which seems to add a bit of excitement.  While we're there I'll be partaking in the delicacy that is the philly cheese steak  Since I've advertised my plight, I've received numerous recommendations to go to the south side of philly on 9th st and get a steak from two different stores.  Pat's and Geno's are supposedly the best in the area, we'll see!
