Hey again.
Kelly's birthday celebration was pretty fun. We went from Uncle Charlies Bar to Old Chicago. Now, I'm not some stuck up savant when it comes to service and in most cases, I just assume that if a waitress is slow to respond to the table's needs that maybe she's just busy. However, this was not the case at Uncle Charlies. Judas Priest... the place was near empty and she had two large tables to wait on including our table. If she's waiting on two large tables by herself, then she must not be new right? So then why did she take -no exaggeration here- 15 minutes at the cash register to give us bills. I'm not even talking about processing the payments, but just creating the different tickets. Furthermore, once it was down to just our table of 6, she wasn't very responsive. I despise lousy service.
Onward to Old Chicago. Had a pretty fun time there, watched people get toasty and vent about work. I suppose I should have mentioned that everyone who came out was from the hospital that Kelly works at. There were several moments in the night where I had no idea what they were referring to, or who they were referring to. I did learn however, what a "geezer-squeezer" is and how a splash guard works during an ear irrigation. Not quite groundbreaking, but the conversation was comical through most of the night. Kelly is slightly hung-over so, I would say the night was a success.
A couple of posts ago, I referred to "statistically significant" as something of importance. I am a man of facts, of logic, and of concepts. So when I make reference to "statistically significant", I'm usually talking about a set of empirical values, that has an outlier.. In my mind it's a way of identifying a problem or anomaly without getting to technical about it. So, when I referred to the culture shock from Colorado Springs to Cheyenne as such, I just meant that it's requiring more from me than expected to adapt to this city.
As with any city, Cheyenne is not without it's pros and cons. More single women, less stores. More free space, less pragmatic people. What can ya do?
Today's song choice is Moby's "Why does my heart feel so bad?" It's a bit of an oldie but always a goody.
Enjoy your day!
