There was a Pick Up Stix across the parking lot so I went in.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8230; I only wanted a small portion. Rather than confusing this person further, I ordered a &#8220;normal&#8221; a.k.a. Wasteful fat bastard meal.<\/p>\n<p>Still ravenous I have my plate delivered to the table whereupon the delivery girl tells me I wasn&#8217;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! &#8220;Uh never mind,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the profound stupidity of people makes me glad that I will pass from this Earth and won&#8217;t have to be bothered anymore. That being said, with my luck I&#8217;ll end up in hell and be in charge of keeping the morons from burning the place down. (<em>Yeah, I just said that&#8230; Think about it for a minute.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, I start wolfing down my curry chicken and brown rice like I haven&#8217;t eater in days&#8230; Come to think of it I haven&#8217;t been eating all that much so I guess I was catching up.  About two bites from finishing up the &#8220;chicken&#8221;, a piece of  of the meat turned just so, and I realized that it was salmon. UH OH!<\/p>\n<p>Salmon does to me what gluten does to others, times about 100. I like the taste and the texture&#8230; BUT my gut hates salmon and when I eat it&#8230; <strong>ME<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be a very long night! Thank your lucky stars, You&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting in traffic for over an hour was uh, interesting to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>I get to the apartment (In time, thankfully) and when I&#8217;m done in the bathroom I grab my computer only to find that it&#8217;s dead as Kurt Cobain (Too soon?)<\/p>\n<p>For some completely unknown reason my computer apparently didn&#8217;t go to sleep when I put it away last, and has completely discharged the battery. Sigh&#8230; I take advantage of the situation by just placing it on charge without powering it up. That&#8217;s the way the Macs like to condition their batteries but my laptop won&#8217;t be available until morning.<\/p>\n<p>iPad to the rescue&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I pour myself a tall whiskey, put my feet up and wait for the remainder of the purge to come.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;Bots&#8221; and one person just cruising for pictures to amuse himself with&#8230;. I need <strong>real<\/strong> interactions not cyber shielded interactions. I need to see the person and be seen.<\/p>\n<p>So tonight will be a late one. I hope your night goes better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Met someone different today. Had coffee and nice conversation.
