10-8-09 Thursday (Insensitivitinessing)

Jim and I went to lunch at TGI Fridays.  Right now they’re running a special on Jack Daniels burgers and chicken sandwiches.  $5 plus we had a BOGO coupon.  We split the burger and chicken so we can enjoy both.  The good thing?  We had salads instead of fries.  I wouldn’t have mentioned Friday’s if it weren’t for me wanting an opening to bitch.  My bitch you ask?  Service.  Jim orders the burger with mayo.  The food is brought out.  The server asks if we need anything.  Jim reminds him about the mayo.  Jim unrolls his silverware so he can eat his salad.  No fork.  He waits.  We wait and wait.  Jim takes my fork while I eat my burger/chicken.  I go to the hostess for another “setup”.  She’s not there, I don’t see the silverware.  Unsuccessful, I return to the table.  The server comes to the table with mayo and iced tea for me explaining “sorry, I always have trouble brewing iced tea.”  He got us another fork.  I was angry that he thought that a condiment was OK to wait for while the item needing condimenting gets cold.  Jim tipped over 20%.  He shouldn’t have but it was his meal that sat around so if it didn’t bother him enough, then I won’t make an issue of it.  Oh, I guess I did. 

Condimenting?  No use looking it up.  I was in a creative word mood as I typed away.

Let’s talk shower update.  Shall we?  Manny, aka Caulkenstein Killer, repaired the tub as you remember.  It’s still leak free which is really the important part.  As he explained his repairs to us he said that he textured the floor for a non-skid surface.  He recommended wearing shoes in the shower for a few days to make sure any sharp peaks were knocked off.  I wish he didn’t non skid it like a meringue.  It’s still shaper than I would have liked.  Which it’s not cutting me, or anything, it just creepy.  It feels like I’m standing on pebbles.  What a moron.  Here’s some closeups for those of you that said how “pretty” it looked.  I’ll probably get a nice soft bath mat.  Sigh.

Yesterday’s lesson was about mismatched “same” colors.  Today’s fashion lesson?  Horizontal stripes.  They say large people should avoid them.  What about people who are disfigured?  Well, decide for yourself.  While at Sweet Tomatoes, I spotted this older woman with a sagging shoulder.  I’m sure there’s a medical term for it.  I called her “Horizontal Woman”.  I turned off my camera flash so as not to attract attention as the stalker that I am.  Apparently the flash was really needed.  You can still get the gist with the photo below:

The lines are much higher on one shoulder than the other which further highlights her gimpiness.  There’s nothing wrong with gimpiness or the like.  It is what it is BUT choose your clothing carefully.  Have you ever went to recover something and decided against pinstripes because it would be such a bitch to get the lines straight?  Kinda the same… bless her heart.

For those of you who think I’m insensitive.  You’re right and I don’t care.

Not really, but just remember I poke fun at myself quite often.  Just laugh.  You know it’s funny… even if you are gimpy too.
