jmcgready’s misc universe

is a casual dining sports themed restaurant

when it’s crowded with sports fans.

By 1-top I mean someone dining solo.

I’ve had this experience at least 3 times,

2 of which I have suffered through (and paid for)

lousy food and not-so-hot service.

The third time, this Sunday last, was different.

I just walked out.

After being seated near the entrance,

watching countless waitstaff pass by me,

3-5 minutes pass,

and the host checks to see if anyone got my drink order.

Another 10 minutes pass, and still no drink order.

I ask myself “how badly did I want those nachos and fish and chips anyway”?

I stayed for another set of commercials,

then calmly left the menu on the table,

gathered my things, and left.

A new person was working as hostess,

and she wished me a good day - as I left.

I later thought that I should have left

my business card with the message

“sorry, I couldn’t wait any longer”

written on the back.

What I did do was go to a pizza joint

and get 2 plain slices and a Diet Whatever

then just went home.

Technorati: observations, Retail Lexicon

just got done updating the mereBreath website,

after coming back from my doctor -

the January A1C was 10.1, up from 9

I’ll find out what my A1C as of today is @ Thursday.

I’m tired, but I’ve chalked that up to work stress

and mereBreath related stress….

I’v'e got a headache now,

but that might just be glare…

Don’t take this to mean that I’m not grateful for

what I do have, I am grateful - very grateful,

this is merely what’s on my mind right now -

what isn’t permanent will pass.

I have to come to terms that

I’m not unbreakable anymore….

I feel as if things haven’t let up

for at least the last 12 months at work -

add to which last year’s mereBreath season,

as well as this year’s mereBreath season,

and you have a guy who’s literally sick with (and sometimes of) it all.

I need to get some rest - I’ll be leaving now…
