Tell us a funny or embarrassing story while you were at work.
There is a running joke with the guys at custom fab that I always end up at whatever location is getting a free lunch. They give me a hard time whenever I show up and say things like “Cole’s here, we must be getting a free lunch today.” Tracy probably does it the most.
