Another Corporate Experience

Last night I had another encounter with teh corporate world. I went out on a celebratory dinner for the end of bf's internship.. at this super hardcore expensive seafood restaurant! You couldn't even believe how nice and luxurious of a place this was.. best of all, it was all expensed to the company! Score! And we did the full course, wine and dine experience.. (I even had wine the whole night! ;) We started with this appetizer platter that was a meal in and of itself... it was this huge steel thing of ice filled wiht a whole lobster, humungous shrimp, mussels, oysters... you name it.. it was called the shellfish appetizer.. I was already full after that! and then we got our meals.. which was very good. I had a grilled mahi mahi. And we shared the sides of creamed corn, mashed potatos, asparagus.. etc.. yummmy! and then we got these desserts! there was this crazy cake.. I really would hate to see the bills..

But the whole night really was a testament to how well his experience was with the company. they don't take every intern out like this, let alone her girlfriend! They were even trying ot feel me out and to get a sense of how I liked Minneapolis and St. Paul. Very cool.. I was stuffed by the end of the night. But I didn't make a fool of myself, and definitely acted my age. looks like I am ready for the corporate world! ;)
