cranberry sauce update
Well, I did end up venturing into the hood, but it wasn't on foot as originally planned. Chicken Wing (another of the few nice COs I work with) needed to run out and get some stuff for the luncheon too, so she took me and MVV to the store with her. I found the cranberry sauce at the wholesale store we stopped at first, but they didn't have any pies, so we had to go to the store MVV and I were originally going to walk to. There was a brief moment of concern as we pulled into the parking lot because it looked like Chicken Wing's car was overheating. Closer inspection revealed that we weren't going to be stranded in the ghetto; her car wasn't actually overheating, it just appeared that way because some water was leaking from the radiator and getting onto the engine. After that dilemma was resolved, we went into the store only to discover that they didn't have any pies either. After some debate about whether or not to just go back to work, we ended up going to Giant since it was only a couple of blocks away. They did indeed have pies, but our saga wasn't over yet because we'd been sent specifically to find a pumpkin pie. The pumpkin pies all started at $6.99 and they'd only sent $5 along with us, which led to another debate about abandoning the pie search, but we decided to get an apple pie so the extra stops weren't a total waste. 45 minutes later, we got back to the office and were griped at about the lack of a pumpkin pie, as well as the amount of time we were gone. Apparently, we should've been able to track down supplies, cranberry sauce, and a pumpkin pie in 10 minutes. These people are just not sane, y'all.
