Making It Up As I Go Along #626

Seven or More

Them:

Enjoy your meal

Let me know 

Can I get anyone

Anything else?

Me:

I’m sorry

I never got

My orange juice

If you please

Them:

Oh so sorry

I’ll be right back

With your juice

And anyone else?

Them:

Here’s some water

For you all

To sip on

If need be

Me:

And my juice? 

It never came

Could I please

I’m oh so thirsty

Them:

Oh yes indeed

Right away

I’ll get that for you

So sorry

Them:

How’s everyone’s food?

To your satisfaction?

I do hope

Can I get anything for anyone?

Me:

For the love of God

I’m still waiting

What does it take 

To get a juice around here

 

MONDAY…

--- Eliminated in Monday night softball.  It was a good team that beat us but we played badly all the same.  Dumb mistakes.  It’s one thing to lose a game to a better team when you’ve both played well.  But when one of the teams doesn’t play as well as they are capable of, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

TUESDAY…

--- Regular type of work day.

WEDNESDAY…

--- Wednesday night ball wins in the semi’s and we’re on to the final next week.  This league is more recreational than the other and the team we played not as good, but still, we dropped down by seven or eight runs early and just didn’t worry about it.  Came back and scored the runs while we tightened the defence.  If anything, it’s as if the other team caved in the mental aspect of the game.  

--- Joined the team at the pub after tonight’s game.  I must have a way… a way to become invisible.  Anytime I’m with a group of more than six, my order gets screwed up at pubs and restaurants.  This time, my order vanished.  She went around the table.  Came to me… seemed to nod understanding of my order… and that was the end of that.  I wasn’t very hungry anyway and, by the time it became clear that my order wasn’t coming, I didn’t want it anyway… but it’s amazing how often I’m cast aside when it’s a group of people.  

THURSDAY…

--- Regular work day and I’m about two hours before I’m home for the night and ready to relax.  Between an accident that caused the highway to get shut down and traffic to increase elsewhere… then a trip to the vegetable stand, grocery store, liquor store, shwarma shop, and gas station, it’s a lot of running around.

FRIDAY…

--- Last time Kiyomi, Sarah and I will all work together in Latents.  I’m on evenings next week and Kiyomi leaves for CPSIC after that.  So we celebrate with bacon stackers at break time… I was going to say that, with fewer than seven of us, my order was fine.  But it just occurred to me that Derek (who joined us) had his order mixed up.  Three of our orders were made a the same time though… so it could be that I simply took Derek’s food.  Hmm.

SATURDAY…

--- Supper with Harley and family.  Nice to just stroll across the lawn to their place in flip flops.  Good meal outside on their patio and we sit and talk much of the evening after that.
