5 Year Anniversary

It's the big 5 year anniversary with Candy coming up on Halloween. Well, at least I consider us starting to go out on Halloween. Anyway, I have some big plans and I think I managed Candy to pressure her into getting me something too:)

My original plan was to go on a brunch cruise on the Potomac river and see the sites for a few hours. However, those plans changed due to a bit of a bad reference to the cruise operators through work. About maybe a month ago, there was a dinner/dance event through work that cost $65, discounted from $90, that around a hundred people from work went on. About 40 people or so got violently ill from the food that they served. It was such a big deal that the state got into investigating the event. Apparently, the state got stool samples from those that got sick (A funny side note was between a couple of coworkers. My friend Dave was talking to another friend Tonia and she asked him to guess what he was standing next to in her cooler ...) and the test come back positive for a food born illness.

This result was different from what the company originally said when some coworkers called them and asked for a refund because they got sick. The company told multiple people the exact same thing that they must have come down with the flu. Yeah, about 40 people coming down with the flu in the same period of time.

As far as any action being taken against the company, I am not sure. I think the department of health is still doing stuff with the case and I haven't heard anything else since then.

For obvious reasons, I decided to abandon the brunch idea and came up with another idea.
