today's highlights
#1 - A guy wearing ridiculous goggles came in to the cafe today and told me I looked that I would be good at chess. "Thank you," I said. "What makes you say that?" He told me I looked like a famous chess player. "She wrote a book called Chess Bitch," he said, "but that's just to get your attention." I am pretty sure he may have been slightly insane. One of my coworkers suspects that the nearby mental institution lets out the patients for a few hours every morning.
#2- My coworkers and I conducted a social experiment in which they stuck a crumpled-up post-it note to my left shirt sleeve and waited to see if anyone would tell me I had something on my shirt. Nobody did for an entire hour. I was shocked. Would you say something? I think I would. Finally one of the regulars -- the woman who likes whipped cream on her scones -- came in. Usually she doesn't say much, but she immediately asked me what was on my shirt, and then when I told her we were waiting to see how long it took for anyone to notice, she laughed really hard. I was hoping somebody else would say something about it, because we came up with a few good lines, my favorite of was "Oh, I bought it like this." If people pay hundreds of dollars for ripped-up jeans, why not a sweater with a post-it note taped to the sleeve? It's very Derelicte.
