Tailgating For Work

The First Batch

One of the questions that I was asked when I interviewed for my current position was, "Do you like to eat?"  I work for a government contractor out of Maryland and the recruiter told me that "they eat a lot in Anniston" and this is so true.  We celebrate with food!  There are 8 different departments, so on any given week, you can bet that one department is planning a celebration for something - birthdays, births, awards - you name it and we celebrate.  One thing we do each Fall is tailgate.  Each department plans a tailgating party one Friday during football season.  The Project Management Office took the first Friday.  We decided on a hot dog lunch and I volunteered to bring blondies and chili for the hot dogs.  Then offered to cook the 70 hot dogs - Mark thought I had lost my mind.  Here is Reggie getting ready to cook the dogs and the dogs on the grill.  We did them in about 4 batches, so it really didn't take that long.  We had a great spread and everyone really enjoyed themselves!  Believe it or not, all but 10 hot dogs were eaten!
