I know that in the corporate world, there's a lot of gifting that goes around. Tickets to a sports game, or going golfing at a country club, going out for a fancy lunch, etc.
But when you're an intern (and not some fancy-business guy) these perks can be few and far between. Or if there are perks, they are minimal.
And really, that is just fine. We're not in the big leagues yet.
But yesterday, one of Tyler's clients (who owns a restaurant in town) not only bought (gave?) Tyler free lunch, but he gave Tyler SIX coupons for free lunch or dinner.
For us college students, this is huge!! And with how filling the meals are (I know because Tyler shared his free lunch), this means SIX free dinners for the both of us. Six future date nights. Six chances to try out sides or drinks, or some other fun thing we usually forego.
And this food is good stuff. Cafe Paesan, everyone. Italian bistro. (How authentic? I don't know. I'll never make you try it, Aunt Mar.)
So to Tyler's client who gave us these vouchers, thank you. Thank you very very much.

Haha!! I love little perks. We used to have a client that would bring us Mavs or Stars tickets. We liked the Stars games the best. But you are right. When you are on the bottom of the totem pole like me, perks are few and far between.
That was very kind of Tyler's client to give him the coupon. We finally used a gift card from Mom and Jay this weekend. It was one of Adam's gifts from LAST Christmas. He forgot he had it, but it was a gift card to Maggiano's Little Italy. We could not have afforded it without the gift card. And I am sooo glad we went. They do not have a gluten-free menu but they DO have gluten-free pasta and are happy to substitute it in almost any recipe. Sometimes you have to change the sauce too. But I got to eat PASTA!!! It was sooo good. I don't know if Aunt Mar would eat there, and I don't know if it is authentic. But to my untrained American tastebuds, it was heaven!!
