It's been a really long time since I've posted something and my list of entries grows longer and longer each day. I've been waiting for the perfect first entry for the New Year or something really grand to make up for my long absence but if I wait any longer, I'll never get back to blogging....
Tonight Lindsay & Co came over for dinner. We ordered our favorite pizzas from Zeek's – Thai One On & the Texas Leaguer. My sister first introduced me to Zeek's back in 1992 when she was a student at Seattle Pacific University. I used to visit Sook on campus and we'd walk to Zeek's first location on Dravus Street.
I remember talking with one of the owners who explained that he was a computer programmer but decided to open a pizza joint because he was burnt out of the corporate world. He wore a navy blue visor, white t-shirt, khaki shorts and seemed a little unsure if Zeek's would be a success. Um... 14 years later and 6 locations... I think he made the right decision.
But a bit of advise to the man... you should make sure your delivery people have a basic understanding of addition and subtraction before hiring them. After I handed the delivery guy $40, he asked me how much I'd like back. I told him to keep $3 and to give me the rest. He then asked me how much was the rest. Excuse me? Um - if you can't figure the math out, either you should have a pocket calculator or shouldn't take a job that requires you to handle cash as one of your basic job responsibilities.
