Truckin' Right Along

So I decided to take my lunch at my desk and work on this and munch as lunch cools down. Mmmm Bruschetta Chicken from TGI Fridays. Granted, it's very tasty, but the dining experience has left much to be desired. Service was slow, food was good, drinks were adequately filled I suppose. Along comes the bill and Adam is looking at it like HUH? So he shows it to me saying we were over charged. I look at it, sure as shit, it's an over charge. They have this $12.99 combo meal, certain appetizers, dinners, and desserts are included in any combination for that price. Apparently, there's a difference between Bruschetta Chicken and Bruschetta Chicken Parmesan. Well, the latter was in the combo price, the previous was not included in the combo price. So I got charged for the combo meal and a separate meal. Eh? Waiter failed to mention the difference and I failed to see there was a difference too. So he scurries off to talk to his manager, probably seeing the tip meter dwindling in his mind as he ran off. The manager promptly comes by with an apology about the miscommunication and took the extra meal cost off and the bill was reduced accordingly. It wasn't really a genuine apology, he was probably hoping the whole experience wasn't such a turn off that we weren't coming back ever again. I would consider it, but not any time soon. I'd sooner go back to Nine Irish Brother's for corned beef or fish and chips than TGI Fridays.

Now, Nine Irish Brothers is quite the authentic looking Irish pub and the food appears pretty authentic as well. According to Adam, they have a nice whiskey selection. I wouldn't know, because it all tastes like dookie to me. Some more so than others. Not a Scotch fan either. Ick... Adam says something tastes sweet, I'm thinking it wouldn't taste good even mixed with some sort of syrup flavoring. Ick... *blech* Give me a good stout, ale, beer, liquor, schnapps, or rum, not that other stuff!

I also found out that there are a few openings in this building, so I am gonna look into them and see if I can get on full-time regular. :) Also got my acceptance letter from Subaru for the third testing phase where I get to do workplace simulation for four hours on the 24th this month. Fun-fun-fun there. Also heard that lil' miss cranky with me yesterday is leaving in a few weeks for a new job away from Purdue. It explains why she's cranky, she realized that that job wasn't going to get any better than it was if not worse with the impending changes from ITAP for system integration. I am thinking benefits, I am thinking tuition reduction, I am thinking IUPUI tuition reduction. Ambitious yes, because it's a smart way to look at things for the long term. :) Besides, it's looking like another year before I can swing school anyway. :( Deadline is in less than 3 weeks and with an unsteady job front still on my horizons, school doesn't make sense right now. *grumble*

Other than that, nothing else to report here.

...So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin...
