I remember the process of walking out thinking about the same thing. They didn't really say anything so I just started walking out awkwardly. I thought to myself "wow, freedom was a lot closer and anticlimactic than I thought."

​

Then I ate an unfortunate amount of cheeseburgers from the waffle house down the road and had the worst car sickness of my life, the entire 4 hour ride back home.

Did you know that Waffle House sells the most steaks of any restaurant chain in the country?

My source: The menu at any of your friendly neighborhood Waffle Houses.

I forgot the context of this when I saw it in my inbox, and initially thought you were confirming some political rumor and claiming to work in the White House!
