So the good and the bad…

Met someone different today. Had coffee and nice conversation.

Had my hair cut (The lady did a good job) I actually got what I wanted. Surprising! I do wish I could just cut it myself but while I have clippers that would do the job I don’t have the guts to try it myself.

It’s my weekend…

The Bad

Was ravenously hungry and decided I wanted Chinese. There was a Pick Up Stix across the parking lot so I went in.

I had to deal with a profoundly vapid counter girl who somehow decided that my chicken needed to be salmon. This after I told her all I wanted was a kids size portion which just totally blew her mind. So instead of my kids size meal she decided she needed to sell me two meals. Ahem… I only wanted a small portion. Rather than confusing this person further, I ordered a “normal” a.k.a. Wasteful fat bastard meal.

Still ravenous I have my plate delivered to the table whereupon the delivery girl tells me I wasn’t charged for my kid sized drink. Uhh OK. How about you just give me the 8 ounces of coke and leave me the hell alone???? She relented when she realized I was considering slaughtering and eating HER! “Uh never mind,” she says.

Sometimes the profound stupidity of people makes me glad that I will pass from this Earth and won’t have to be bothered anymore. That being said, with my luck I’ll end up in hell and be in charge of keeping the morons from burning the place down. (Yeah, I just said that… Think about it for a minute.)

Anyhow, I start wolfing down my curry chicken and brown rice like I haven’t eater in days… Come to think of it I haven’t been eating all that much so I guess I was catching up. About two bites from finishing up the “chicken”, a piece of of the meat turned just so, and I realized that it was salmon. UH OH!

Salmon does to me what gluten does to others, times about 100. I like the taste and the texture… BUT my gut hates salmon and when I eat it… ME as well.

It’s going to be a very long night! Thank your lucky stars, You’re not within 100 miles of my apartment right now. On the plus side I could have a colonoscopy tomorrow without bothering to drink that foul concoction doctors love to prescribe.

Sitting in traffic for over an hour was uh, interesting to say the least.

I get to the apartment (In time, thankfully) and when I’m done in the bathroom I grab my computer only to find that it’s dead as Kurt Cobain (Too soon?)

For some completely unknown reason my computer apparently didn’t go to sleep when I put it away last, and has completely discharged the battery. Sigh… I take advantage of the situation by just placing it on charge without powering it up. That’s the way the Macs like to condition their batteries but my laptop won’t be available until morning.

iPad to the rescue…

I pour myself a tall whiskey, put my feet up and wait for the remainder of the purge to come.

On the way home to distract myself from the growing discomfort in my gut. I was thinking about the various dating apps, and the messages I received today. Obvious “Bots” and one person just cruising for pictures to amuse himself with…. I need real interactions not cyber shielded interactions. I need to see the person and be seen.

So tonight will be a late one. I hope your night goes better.
