The Latest In Blank Stares

Every once in a while, the blank stare returns. When someone comes up to you and asks you something so......off, that all you can do is try and keep up eyecontact.

Customer at Bar - well dressed suited kid around 25 (wandering around aimlessly)

Me: Hi, how is everything? Can I help you?

CAB: Oh, I'm so embarassed. I don't know how to ask.

Me: Well, I've heard nearly everything, try me.

CAB: Do you work here? (Like my work shirt doesn't give it away)

Me: I'm the manager. How can I help?

CAB: Well... Ileftmywalletatthehotel. IhavenomoneyonmecanIborrowsomefromyou?

**************blank stare from me**********************

Me: Aren't you here with that large party? We really don't loan money out to customers.

CAB: Yes, I guess I'll have to ask one of them. Dang.

This man was not drunk.

*sigh*

Would you go into a gas station and try the same thing? Neiman Marcus? WTF?

Too Long

It's been so long since I posted that I really don't know where to start.
Twins started in the playoffs, and all went Hell In A Handbasket for a while at work. Did about 50 hours in 3 days and then got sick. I think my poor little body just said "Pfffft" or was is "Fuck you"...

Back to semi normal now and the Twins failed miserably. Not a major league baseball fan, so while $ for the bar would be great - my soul has been saved.

Now that the sickness has passed, I have 500 things to catch up on in personal world. Oh dear, and here I am farting around on the net...
