Yeah ya know I have to go out of my way to do that more often than I do. Bring my eee out and transcribe what people are saying ;-)

Now if I could only get the webcam on the outside of the screen I’d be set ;)

Grand Central would be a great people watching place! I actually went to a doctor’s appointment early the other day so I could watch people. WalMars just wasn’t cutting it that day.

That’s inSANE. Back in the day I would’ve sat there, then complained later. Today I would have gone on a rampage. Nah, you win on that one.

At least I ended up a block from Grand Central, which is one of my favorite people watching lunch spots of all time.

What kills me is that everybody just played along like I was ..well… me from 15 years ago.

No pretense of doing anything other than taking expedient action at the moment.

It’s like the time I blacklisted Bloomberg forever as an employer. Yeah. I’ll have to dig that gem out. I can’t shaggy dog it the way I did this, but I was almost equally steamed.

I had a prospective interviewer (for the second, follow-up interview) leave me in the waiting room for an hour past our scheduled time, during which I was told he was “unavoidably delayed.” When I saw him coming back with a group of people carrying doggy bags from Chili’s, I stood up, made sure I made eye contact with me, looked pointedly at my watch, and walked nonchalantly out the door. I was so mad I couldn’t drive and had to sit in the parking lot for a bit to calm down.
You were treated way worse, given that you had to go to so much hassle to be there.
Intolerable is right.
