Tuesday, out of steam

Stopped by to sit in a bit with the Albany NaNoWriMo folks at Professor Java’s. They’re doing camp so they’re on deadline but I figured I could use some free wifi and some decompression time. I used up all my eye-rolling skills and snarkiness and exasperation today and the last time I called to check on my DSL escalated ticket the man on the phone said, “it says we’re shipping you a new cable modem.” That’s good, I allowed, since that’s probably the issue. What a stupidly hard and ridiculous experience.

Anyway. As I looked at the beverage menu here, there it was. I pointed at it and asked our waiter, “just how EVIL is it?” Quite evil, he allowed. Good. I’ll take one of those. And don’t say you weren’t warned.

and then I wrote some haiku.

A woman comments,
“I used to work with your ex…”
So many replies…

While counting to ten
I look over my glasses
I don’t know you, hon

While pondering this
I don’t even know you, hon
Why would you say this?

As she exited,
All the unspoken comments
Left along with her.

    It would puzzle one a lot as to why would someone say that.
    I notice how happy you are now and think smart move for you that he is your ex.
    Love that you do what you want and can continue to do so.
    Follow your dreams and enjoy.
