I must find a new morning breakfast spot.
Went to Consentino's this morning for breakfast. This is the same place where - a few weeks ago - the security guy bitched me out for turning the table sideways (so that I have more room to work on my laptop).
This morning, I'm having breakfast, and get up to get a cup of water. He's standing near the water cooler talking on the phone. Grab my water, go back to the bar and sit back down.
A couple of minutes later:
"Is this yours?!"
"I'm sorry?"
"Is this (motioning to my breakfast area / work area) your stuff?!"
"Um, yeah."
NO, I just came over and instantly started working on somebody else's laptop. It'd be OK if it looked like I was trying to steal the damned thing, but I'm sitting here OBVIOUSLY WORKING... and on top of that, I've been here for 30 minutes -- if he were truly paying attention, he would have freakin' noticed that by now. Before I could ask him what was going on, he was off being psychotically friendly to somebody sitting a couple of tables away.
I need to start doing breakfast at the Mission Hy-Vee. At least they're nice.
