Random Facts and Confessions #8

[MsPurrl]

Today I had lunch in a restaurant I've never been to before, and at the end they brought me back my bill together with two pieces of what looked like mints or candy. I went, oooh how nice, scooped them up, paid, put one of them into my mouth, left. Then I'm thinking, jeez this candy is *really* hard and seems to have no flavour at all, turns out it wasn't candy but a couple of small white stones to make sure that bits of paper don't fly off the plate It's a good thing I didn't try to bite into it!

Don't feel alone! A few years ago, MrPurrl and I went to a fancy-schmancy seafood restaurant in Indianapolis for his birthday dinner. At one point during the meal, our server brought us each a little bowl of water with a slice of lemon in it. We must have looked perplexed, because he kindly told us they were finger bowls, to wash off our hands after dealing with crab legs. So much for the rubes from west-central Indiana going to the big city!

Confession: I would do SO much to go to one U2 show in a different state (preferrably Chicago or the east coast). It just makes me sad seeing people travel cross-country and going to tons of shows when I can barely make (hopefully) two. I know it sounds horrible.....I should be grateful that I can even make one. But I want to see them as much as possible (and I want to meet lots more of you guys!)

. . . I think this is a sentiment shared by many here lovely girl . . . switch 'state' for 'country' and you'd be sitting about where I am right now

Oh nice! Did the waiter look at you while you grabbed it?

The waiter actually just put the plate with the bill on my table and went away, so here's hoping that no one noticed

Ah, shame.


I went to the specialised aquarium store this morning with my friend. Awesomesauce. I can get a BIGGER aquarium than the one I have with all the accessories my mom threw out(heater, pump, lid and light) that will even save me money instead of having to buy all the accessories new. I'll go there again when I get my next paycheck.

it must be so nice to go through life with a massive sense of entitlement.

If I weren't fasting right now, I would be in the gym making good use of that punching bag in the corner

As usual, I get stuck with the dirty work no one wants to do because someone quit. He wasn't even from my department!! And the manager who basically asked me to do the work said, well, because HE had to manage the whole thing and cannot be bothered with the little details like training his own people on how to do the job. WTH am I supposed to do with my own work and my department?

I hope our chat helped too.

Oh god. Not to sound completely arrogant, but I'm used to men looking and making comments at me. The looking doesn't offend me, it's human nature. It's generally the younger guys who are the ones who are more likely to make a comment out loud, whistle, or even holler. Usually something swoon-worthy like "NICE ASS!", and often out their car window.

I don't dress provocatively(no, the clear heels and pole outfits do NOT go past my front door) or carry myself in a way that should invite those types of reactions, but oh boys, some of them are lacking in tact. Occasionally, I'll shake my head and laugh to myself or my girlfriends if they're with me, that is if I pay attention at all.

So, as I was leaving work today, I was walking down the hall of a downtown office building, when two middle-aged men were walking towards me. They were clearly having a business conversation, when just as they passed, one stopped what he was saying and at a completely regular volume said "Mmmm, she's cute." To which the other replied "Oooh, yes. Mm-mmm." at which point the first continued on with the original conversation with "So anyway.."

It was so completely blatant and unexpected that I actually looked up, stopped, and looked back at them like ???? Perhaps the first guy thought that I wouldn't hear since my headphones were in and I was looking down, fiddling with my iPod, but I didn't have anything playing yet, so I heard just fine. It may be one of those scenarios where you'd have to have been there to get what I mean, but I just thought "Really??? Did you really just say that out loud and in a place of business?"

I wasn't really offended. I sure as hell wasn't flattered. I think I was just more amazed than anything. Some people these days.

 

[No spoken words]

I'd NEVER say anything like that to or about you.
