I know how exhausting waiting tables can be so I don't mind if my server crouches down and leans on the table or sometimes even if they sit down at the table. The best was at Ed Debevic's, a place where they are intentionally rude (all waiters should get to work there at least for a little while) and the server sat down next to my dad and said, "Move over. fatso, I only got one cheek on."
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I have done the whole hair-styling thing again, so that I will not resemble Art Garfunkle at the interview tomorrow. Unless, of course, the humidity cuts through all the conditioner and refrizzes my hair tomorrow. Hair is complicated.

place where they are intentionally rude
There was a place like that in Salt Lake. It didn't last two months.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, now I want some cheese enchiladas, P-C. I haven't had Mexican in a while.
I really want that cheese crisp now!

They're like that at Dick's Last Resort too.

Preparing for interview tomorrow. I picked out my clothes and put them on the chair, I set my alarm clock, and I put my notes, wallet, rain coat, snack bars, cough drops, and makeup in my bag. (I know I won't be awake enough to put makeup on when I first wake up, so I'm going to do it at the train station.) Cell phone is charging. I feel like I must be forgetting something.

Ralph's in Hermosa Beach but not the one in Manhattan Beach
Laga that's so funny because the same thing has happened to me, but at the Von's in Torrance I get asked every time (but I bring my own help in the form of a 14-year-old because it's part of his allowance). It's gotta be some snooty MB thing, right?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Clearly the Long Beach Ralph's has some 'splaining to do.
ION- It has come to my attention that my call sign name here, if typed on a phone pad, would start out with 666. How devilish of me! Dunno why that has tickled me pink. Clearly it's been a slow day at work.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
It just feels like, "Hey, thanks for doing this service. By the way re-entry stress is 10 times worse than culture shock and could really screw you up for a long time, so, uh, good luck with that. Buhbye."
Pretty much! Re-entry stress was not my issue - I was braced for it but mainly felt relief - but I agree with you.
So, typically, I crashed today after my great day yesterday. Maybe I am a little bipolar and that is my hypomania? It's been made worse by discovering that recent ex D has been an ass to other women (of course) and me posting about it on OKC and feeling a little nervous about having done so.
Meh. I need to eat something.

Oh noes, my mood swings killed the thread!

I am being ridiculous. I've been rereading Anne of Green Gables for the zillionth time, and I'm almost at the end, and now I remembered what happens at the end and I don't want to read any more because I know I'll cry. But if I finish, then I can read Anne of Avonlea, and lots of fun stuff happens in that one.
