Traveling and other stuff

[papayahed]

I'm traveling for business right now. Tonight my coworkers and I went out to dinner. Our waitress had an eye patch.

It made me wonder...Ya know, what happened? Is it completely gone? did she have surgery? Did her pet bird peck it out? As she came to our table a few times she was messing with that patch, I was trying to look but didn't want to be obvious. Finally she said the patch was bothering her and she had a sty. (I didn't ask she volunteered) It wasn't anything near where my imagination was going but at least my curiosity was satiated. I guess she got tried of the patch, on the last few trips to our table she had removed the patch. Her eyelid was huge and red and greasy. Slightly not pleasant to look at.


I don't know why I'm relating this adventure other then I had a few cocktails and with the time difference I'm still wide awake.

well, it is gross. I mean you're trying to eat and you have a greasy eye to contend with. Someone could use that in a book - the book could be about anything and then the situation with the eye patch would be this background moment for a transition in the story...

Was it a greasy spoon diner? Or a chain that we've all heard of?

Did you order french fries? Are you sure that was grease on your plate and not remants of her eye balm? Things to ponder...

I'm not a book writer, so whoever wants it.....

Sagebrush Steakhouse, this is the first time I've seen one but it looks like a chain.

ya know she was rubbing the eye when the eye patch was on.....

Darn it!!

Yeah, could have matched her up with our fealess Captain. Isn't he looking for a female pirate.

Here's what else I don't understand....When the flight crew have to stay overnight in other cities who makes the reservations for them at the hotel? Do they have to do it themselves? Is there someone at the home office taking care of it? Do they just have a block of rooms they always keep?

My guess is that the airlines has a deal with certain hotels and puts them up. Next time I travel I'll try to ask a stewardess.

Your probably right. Now that I think about it they do have a set schedule of what planes are going where and when so I would theink they would know how many hotel rooms they need in each city.

I just love that Graham Norton. Anybody watch him?

[papayahed]

Light Bulb moment!!!!! For a few months now I've had the song "What the world needs now, is love sweet love....." In my head, I'd sing it all the time at work and i couldn't figure out why I was gravitating to that song. Just now I saw a commercial for Hershey's Kisses which plays that song.

Used to watch his shows regularly but not recently.

The last time I watched andrew Lloyd Webber was on and Graham decided to cast for modern Jesus' for Jesus Christ superstar. There was a juggling Jesus, a Mime Jesus, etc...

I'm traveling again. I don't like it. I checked into my hotel last night, went to my room and the room hadn't been cleaned yet. It's kinda gross seeing a strangers short curlies in the sink.
