3772: The Worst Day Since Yesterday
So, I don't know how many of you are aware of my feelings about birthdays, but the short of it is it's a day that is only truly important to me and, as such, has a heightened sense of expectation surrounding it with the highest probability of letdown.
This is the biggest reason not to let St. Valentine's Day be the mopefest so many people make it out to be--there's so much built-up expectation that can't possibly be met. [I would link you a stand-up about it, but I don't think it's available for free anymore...]
Anyway, long story short, WORST DATE EVAR on account of mistakenly trying a hole-in-the-wall restaurant [which I figured had the least chance of being packed at 8p on El Día de los Enamorados] that ended up being the Real Life Diner Dash =/ Literally, there was ONE person on the floor when we came in, and at least two tables left out of impatience. I figured it would prolly have been worth the wait [we're generally pretty patient], and we did end up getting a free appetizer when one of the tables that left didn't want their order, but my dish had hair baked into it. Not just fallen onto, actually BAKED IN to where I could have lifted the food by one of the hairs. Yes, ONE OF.
We did get my meal for free as well, but I was so put off by the hair that I didn't really fill up, somehow, even though I ate most of what didn't touch the hair. Still hungry now, in fact. Oddly enough, I was pretty stuffed at work though I didn't really eat much--as per Mondays.
[About that... I guess I should be careful what I wish for, 'cause I certainly got it... Though today was the first day in literally months that we got 300+ checks, neither Mickey nor Mrs. Fris was able to help me today, the former calling out and the latter still too busy learning her new job... staying late again, BUUUU DX~~]
[[they gave everyone chocolate, though]]
[[[as per the holiday, DERP]]]
Anyway, lesson for next year: Stay in, or... take out? *shrug* Ugh, time for bed again.
P.S. gave C the TRON: Legacy OST, but he's complaining about static in some of the tracks. Intentional, or a crap copy? Anyone know? =|
