Day 34: The Broken Yolk Cafe

This morning, we had a Going Away Breakfast for my coworker (and friend), Julius Jones, or as we like to call him Mr. Jones. He just became a government employee and is moving to a different building.  Julius loves bacon (as evidenced in a previous post), so we decided (mostly me) a breakfast was the perfect way to say "See You Later, Alligator."

7 AM comes early every morning, so this morning was no different.  I rushed through my morning ritual because I didn't get out of bed until 6:20AM.  I drove down to "The Broken Yolk Cafe on Midway Dr (in Point Loma) and was only a couple minutes late.  The Broken Yolk Cafe (BYC) just opened in Point Loma on 11 January, so it's still pretty quiet in the morning (I don't think many people know about it yet).  I've always heard good things about the BYC, but I'm usually not around any of the other locations during breakfast or lunch hours. 

I've been to the BYC twice now and I wasn't disappointed either time.  The first time, I ordered a 4 egg omelet (bacon, avocado, tomatos, mushrooms) and home fries...I didn't quite finish it, but I loved the freshness of the food.  This morning, I ordred my favorite breakfast food...french toast with strawberry sauce.  The chef made some delicious food.  I don't think anyone was disappointed.  I love finding good breakfast food near work, so I can go for lunch whenever I feel like breakfast for lunch :)  I would recommend the BYC to everyone in the Point Loma area. 

Day 13: Hilarious Coworkers

Today, I've had a hard time narrowing down what to write about. 

I spend 45-55 hours at work each week, so I am extremely grateful for hilarious coworkers.  I work with Sentek coworkers, government clients, and other contractors (BAH, CSA, Intellisolutions, etc).  My current work environment consists of a large cubicle with 5 men....needless to say I hear surprising things each and every day. 

One of my coworkers, Julius, is slightly obsessed with bacon.  He talks about bacon daily.  You may ask "how does someone talk about bacon every day?" Well, it's actually quite easy when we egg him on every day (we all love how obsessed he is).  I've visited Denny's with him for Baconmania, seen him eat multiple bacon burgers, and continue to try to persuade him to try the Bacon brownies at Slater's 50/50.

Then there is Brian, who is one of the smallest men I know (5 ft 6 in, 120 lbs wet), but can eat more than 3 men.  This afternoon, my boss (Tom), Justine (a fellow manager), and I threw a Thank You Lunch  for our employees. Brian ate a stacked 1/2 pound hamburger and probably a pound of potato chips.

My boss, Tom, or Clubber (his call sign from the Navy...he was an aviator and a retired Naval Captain) is a joy to work for.  Whenever we meet, he cracks me up because he seems constantly amazed by Justine and I (we are pretty amazing).  He is the classic Harley rider, gun toting, Republican and totally reminds me of my dad. 

I am really lucky to work with great people.
