Comments
- Mike O
- Wednesday is my least preferred date after Tuesday, but I would be able to make it for lunch on Wednesday if that day works best for everyone else.
- Dean
- Another thought might be to add in a place or two to the rotation which is either quick or cheap (or preferably both!). I know I often don’t have much time available for lunch, so I’ll go to a place like BBQ This! or a chinese buffet (e.g. Great Dragon or Metro Buffet). I can usually leave work, eat at one of those places, and be back to work in 45 minutes.

- Well I lost about 40 lbs and I am trying to stay away from really fattening meals.
I am also working 4+ programs and I don’t have a lot of free time at lunch these days.
I may show up again, Thursday is no worse for me than any other day. - Paul
- First of all, if the results turn out to be Thursday, I will disavow any knowledge of me “suggesting” taking a poll.
If we end up going to a lot of Mexican places, I can’t guarantee being regular. - Stan
- I’m hoping that after the next month or so I can skip the Thursday noon meetings that my team has. Other days may work better for me in the short term. I try to reserve Wednesdays for lunch with my wife, but that has been pre-empted by work most weeks too.

Gentlefolk:
Attendance at our weekly Thursday lunch is way down. Paul suggested that I poll the bunch to see if more of you might attend on some other weekday.
Please let me know which weekdays will work for you to join us “regularly” for lunch. (Use your own definition for “regularly”.)
