Open All Night

Long week out at the home away from home. Ever since Stephanie started whining about Applebee’s, I have had nothing but problems. When I went there this week, I was waiting for the hostess to seat the people in front of me. She then asked me “what can I help you with.” “Umm, I would like to eat!” “Would you like a hightop?” (as she starts to move). “No.”

Hotel wasn’t much better. First night, my air conditioner wouldn’t work. I switched rooms. “Worked” in the next room, but was louder than Dokken at the Milwaukee State Fair tonight. Next night it worked, but only when it kicked on and was really loud again. Last night, no real air and couldn’t get it to do anything.

I rechecked into my hotel tonight, only to find them trying to give me the same room. Oh no – just because I was lazy and wouldn’t move during the week doesn’t mean I won’t do it now.

Decided to kill some time at the casino tonight (stupid rain meant no racing). I took some notes.
- Your bra is not a cell phone holder. I know that you have no self-respect anyway, but please know how vile you look extracting a blackberry from the boob-shelf.
- I consider myself to be a good character gauge, but I am not always good at picking out druggies. There were plenty tonight!
- Does it weird you out eating in an Asian themed restaurant, with Asian servers, when they finally speak and have less of an accent than you? I prefer this over the non-Italians making a pizza somewhere.
- How can you advertise a sports bar, but refuse to put a sporting event on when multiple TV’s have CNN on? And no, Ms. Hostess, I can’t just read your mind as to why there is a 25 minute wait when I show you 10+ open tables.
- Expounding on that, all I wanted was a nice cordial to end my evening. I was frustrated because I wanted to have it at the “nice” bar, to avoid being mocked at the sports bar. So, I would like to thank the bartender with the shaved head and faux European accent for completely ruining my night by bringing my drink in a shot class since I wouldn’t pay the extra $1 for a double. (Why would I need 2 drinks of sambuca?) Please – enjoy your 75 cent tip.

- Enough for now,
