Not Oompa Loompa - Lumpia Shanghai!

So i'm at work being a diligent employee... *tap tap tap on the shoulder*- I turn around to see my bosses boss... The only statement "where the phuq is my lumpia?!?!". Now you have to understand something... My bosses boss isn't some enigmatic stuffed shirt blow hard with little to no clue of what its like to be me. Not to long ago he got on the floor and knocked shit out mike tysons' punchout style, so hes still got it - not to mention hes probably the only boss in the world id follow on a request into fire because he merely asked. In short the man wants lumpia - simple and fair request - he gets lumpia.

Lumpia is something that you make in a batch for a small family and im making it for work. My boss is one person, there are 11 people on my team plus my boss - so 13 people. then there's the second later shift team. so possibly 25 mouths will be wrapped around my lumpia at some point. *** THAT WAS A JOKE you PLEBIAN!!!!***

A lumpia to me is what would happen if an egroll and taquito got it on in the back of a '72 Nova and had a kid. more directly think a longer skinny eggoll with mostly meat and spices, you get the idea. so it takes afew to get you "Full"...

With that in mind, im making as many as i can:
The issue? prep for this is like something from "behind the scenes of Iron Chef"
today ill get to hitting several stores in preparation for this "Event"
Let me break this down ;)

Ill need:
100 lumpia wrappers
afew pounds of various meats
spices
oil
eggs
other various stuff
and some time.

The Breakdown
make all the lumpia tonight (granted the whole week is OT)
get up early and cook it tomorrow morning BEFORE work...

Then head into work with said morsels and hope for the best.
Now what can go wrong? This is my first solo project with lumpia.
So im a little nervous about it :) should be ok though.

*bonus notes
Plebian - 1533 (n.), 1566 (adj.), from L. plebius "of the common people," from plebes "the common people" (as opposed to patricians, etc.), perhaps from PIE base *ple- "to be full" (see plenary). Slang shortening pleb is attested from 1865 (see plebe).
* so i called you a snowflake HEHEHE

Stay Tuned - for the actually lumpia factory!
