#1 Reason to End This Recession

i know this will sound absolutely awful...but...i really don't care. working for the government, i thought that i would not feel the effects of this recession. boy was i wrong! it hit me, and it hit me HARD!

in my building at work, we have this place that makes paninis. now, i am usually not a fan of sandwiches. however, i tried this panini one day and it was simply heavenly. it had lettuce, turkey, ham, swiss cheese oozing from the sides, some kind of pesto sauce, and jalapeno bacon pressed and cooked between 2 slices of ciabatta bread! yes...i said jalapeno bacon! i've never heard of it either. but, let me tell you...it was the BIZOMB!!!! (i wish you could have heard me say BIZOM!!! cuz it was pretty funny) this sandwich made a believer out of me. i believed that i was falling in love with everything that made up this wonderful creation. i had an affair with every piece of that sandwich! every time that i got it, i gently blew on the bread, licked the lettuce, tickled the turkey, held the ham, and seductively caressed the swiss cheese. and when nobody was looking, i flat out devoured the jalapeno bacon! (you thought i was going to use "J" and "B", didn't ya!) well, after a long affair with this sandwich, i thought i would be faithful to the one i was committed to previously...Panda Express. after realizing that i was not eating Orange Chicken, rather was probably eating panda meat, i decided to spice up my lunch breaks and cheat on panda again for old time's sake. well...that's when my entire world fell apart. last week, i was facilitating a meeting with some folks from Germany and i took them to meet my "sandstress" (kind of like mistress...but a sandwich...neverrmind). when we got to the lunch room, i ordered my precious panini and learned that they had discontinued the use of jalapeno bacon and now only use regular bacon!!!! ***GASP*** my heart stopped. (yours did too, didn't it) it turns out that due to the recession, they had to make some cut-backs in the kitchen, and my sweet jalapeno bacon was laid off. they told her to pack her stuff and GO. there was no warning. she was just let go...needless to say, i will never be the same without her....or so i thought. as i bit into my panini, i realized that bacon is bacon and it was STILL the BIZOMB!!!! my love affair continues!
