The Tabasco Story

 I don't know all the whys, but we run out of a lot of stuff at work.  I think part is Sysco and I think part is the system we use for ordering.  So, we had been out of tabasco for days.  My understanding is it was ordered, but Sysco cancelled the order.  I was told that more would be in on our next deliver day.  I'm thinking what happens if Sysco cancels the order again?

There are just a handful of residents who use Tabasco on a regular basis.  I decided on a whim to go to the store on my way home and buy some Tabasco.  Frugal kicked in and I bought a bigger bottle because it was cheaper per ounce.  Took it to work and put it where it belonged.  And the residents were happy.

Then one night I accidently took it home in my apron pocket.  I do that a lot and then I bring it back the next day.  I brought it out to George and his mom.  I'm pretty sure she doesn't use it.  He looked at me and said no one else buys stuff like this for the residents.  I looked at him and said well, I'm special.  I think that floored him, but he agreed.  

For the record, I bought that Tabasco a week ago and we still have not gotten any in from deliveries.  We'll see what today brings or whether I need to go to the store again.
