burrito day 11/12/04

Over the past couple of weeks, the BDC has shared some insights on politics, professional sports, burrito history etc.. While these are all entertaining topics, we must always remember the true topic and emotion that brings us altogether and is consistent among the burrito crew: RAGE! One obvious source of RAGE is waiting ....waiting for anything! Very few members of the burrito day crew have patience for anything ..even if it is for a split second ...and that's is as it should be. We live in a fast-paced world, but at the same time there are moments where even waiting for a split second can be absolutely enraging. Here is a list of 'waiting' items that enrages the BDC:

1) Arriving on the 1st tee (or any tee for that matter), and realizing that there is someone else scheduled to tee off in front of you. "Hello good sir, why don't you play through" ..is the only acceptable comment from group on the tee!

2) Arriving at the DMV and realizing that the people standing outside the building are actually in line for something as simple as renewing a license.

3) Clicking on a button on your computer, and watching your entire screen freeze up, as the hard drive grinds while secretly laughing at your rising anger.

4) Arriving at a bathroom and realizing that all the available toilets are occupied - this is both enraging and potentially disastrous!

5) Merging on to a freeway, and then coming to a complete stop. One can only ask, "what on earth is going on up there?" A BIG wheel truck would always be useful at this time.

6) ...and of course, those anxious seconds before the tortilla man at Chipotle glances in your direction to acquire your order. Again, any hesitation at this point can be both enraging and potentially disastrous :-)

burrito day 11/5/04

In the spirit of the recent elections and the numerous CA propositions on the ballot this year, I offer the following proposition in 2006:PROPOSITION 77 (because '7' is the BDC's favorite number!):

Chipotle Burritos for all Employees. Happiness for All. Life is Good.Initiative Statute.*
- Requires all employers to sponsor one free burrito per employee per week. This is in addition to, and not in place of, the current list of employer benefits. *
-- Provides no limit to the type of burrito (i.e Chicken, Barbacoa, or even Fajita (god forbid :-). *
-- Authorizes employees to enjoy their burrito on the patio of Chipotle for at least 1.5 hours. This is considered company time. As demonstrated in previous trials, this can only improve worker productivity and morale.
-- Imposes severe penalties for employers that resist against this worthwhile benefit. This is not OPTIONAL!

If some of you, for whatever reason, think this may be a ridiculous proposition, I have one sure fire-method to get it passed - GET ARNOLD to back it!! This guy is phenomenal. He can sell anything. Two months prior to this past election Prop. 66 was passing 60% to 40%. Arnold decided he didn't want it ...so he threatened the entire state ...and guess what? - it didn't pass - 51% voted NO. I can hear Arnold's promotions now -- "Free Burritos for all employees! This can only help to strengthen their puny muscles. Our economy needs very large muscles so we can get out of this pathetic debt. Burritos PUMP YOU UP!!"
