benefits
my company is well known for its employee benefits. way beyond excellent health care, vision and dental.
a little known service of our company cafeteria is after hours food. you can go online and order a sandwich to pick up in the late afternoon. and you can sign up to receive leftovers from the hot food menu. the food is company subsidized, and payroll deducted, so financially, it's like having takeout from a restaurant without any of the financial pain.
it's been years since i've even thought about signing up for leftovers, much less actually did it, but tonight i decided to give it a go. i'm overdue for a trip to the grocery store, so coming home with a good dinner seemed like a great plan.
wow. what an awesome benefit! i brought home what they consider to be one portion of veggie lasagne. cost me maybe $4, if that. i heated it up in the oven with some marinara sauce and it's really two portions, and oh so very tasty and delicious. plus, vegetables, yay.
plus, the walk over to the cafeteria is a nice way to break up the afternoon and get a little exercise. sweet.
