Lunch was very stressful. Denny's was busy but I had an hour so there really wasn't any rush on my part. Instead of one of the usual waitresses, this woman who's always slow and distracted ended up waiting on my table. Note that I had a table instead of a booth. I like booths even if I can be too fat for them.

Blondie, as I'll refer to her, took the order and ten minutes later I had my coke, no ice. "Sin hielo" for those of latin descent who frequent here. I'm sure Jaybird feels like he's reading Dora the Explorer's online journal if Jaybird is reading it. She gave me the most disgusting straw from her apron. I never saw her again except when she dropped off my tab.

Seems that Blondie stole the table out of the usual waitress who handles me and was going to get the tip even though it's not her table. Yet the usual waitress ended up waiting on me the entire time much to her annoyance.

What's a fat man to do? I tipped the usual waitress five bucks and gave a little under 15% to Blondie. Blondie's not my favorite person at Denny's anyway because she's been the reason why I've been late returning to work from lunch on a few occasions.

My stuff has been shipped and now it's a waiting game. Baldur's Gate with the Sword Coast expansion was shipped first class USPS mail which means it could show up on ~*~Saturday~*~. Everything else is due next week.

Summertime in the high country always means late afternoon thunderstorms. A few minutes ago there was a brownout. Fortunately I had unplugged the laptop from the wall and the phone line which means it's safe from surges. Unfortunately a few minutes later, a promising chaotic monk in NetHack was slain by an orc zombie.

Not only does raddidge send me lesbian robot porn, she also provides me links to sites with quotes regarding intergender relationships. Behold, the wisdom of Buddha.

Ananda: How are we to conduct ourselves, Lord, with regard to womankind?
Buddha: Don't see them Ananda.
Ananda: But if we should see them, what are we to do?
Buddha: Abstain from speech, Ananda.
Ananda: But if they should speak to us, Lord, what are we to do?
Buddha: Keep wide awake, Ananda.
