DATELINE: Tinley Park, IL

It's been a busy day and the rest of the week wont be any different. I do appreciate that the organization I'm working with has everything organized and under control.

Today was my first day of interviews meeting with a bunch of nice, elderly white folks. During my first meeting I had a nice cup of coffee and some tasty cookies that the lady said were made from Nancy Reagan's recipe. Very very tasty. My second meeting was with another nice couple. The wife was a little flirty with me but also said that she thought of me as one of her sons. Creepy. She also asked if I was married and said that she had a cute girl she wanted to set me up with. I don't know if accepting the deal would have meant that she got to watch.

Unfortunately the part of Chicago I'm working in is pretty new & I don't anticipate coming across any interesting sights.

When I got to the hotel Sunday night I was starving & ordered a stuffed pizza (aka deep dish pizza Chicago style) and holy crap was it a serious pizza. The pizza shop guy I placed my order with said that he was a big pizza eater and he could only eat 2 slices at a time, but I thought he was underestimating The Man's business traveler appetite & ordered a large. I had to use two hands to hold the pizza box because of the heft of the pie. The pizza shop was correct and I could only eat two slices, which means that I've had the pizza haunting me in the fridge. Monday the only food I ate was pizza (slices in total) and I felt like shit when I went to sleep. I've avoided the pizza today because I was away from the hotel all day. I feel conflicted because the pizza is really tasty and my innate cheapness is calling me to finish it off but I can't bring myself to eat another slice. I'm going to try to eat one for breakfast tomorrow but can't make any promises.
