Father's Day Dim Sum, Minus Dad

Today Sat, じゅるる and I went to eat dim sum in MPK area.

It was supposed to be a Father's Day brunch, but dad said he was gonna go play golf. Ichigo said she had to work, but it was the afternoon shift... but Sat forgot to invite her.

We went to 888 Seafood on Valley, because we wanted to go to the foot massage again.

It was crowded when we got there, but they opened up seats in the back banquet rooms & we got to sit down after a 20-minute wait. Food photos are on Sat's Flickr account (not at this time, but soon enough!).

As we were leaving, we saw some familiar faces.
It was Jason & Rhona (and their respective spouses)!

Jason said he's heading out to Arizona in July. He was supposed to start in June, but they pushed it back to July.

"Budget cuts, maybe." he said.

He's starting his police academy in the summer session, so he's gonna have to suffer in the 120+ degree weather. Eek! His parents said it's "only" about 90 degrees right now. Ugh!

Rhona said the people & atmosphere of Costa Mesa is really nice. And she commutes to Santa Monica daily. Time to ask for some telecommuting hours, she said.

We chatted a bit about the industry & all the layoffs at TP. And what they knew about former & still-there G staff. I gave them a bit of an update about the folks around us (mainly Chris).

It was a pleasant surprise on Father's Day minus dad.
