Dinner out....

Went out to Dinner with the girls from work tonight. Sounds harmless, right?

WRONG baby, oh so very wrong.

Here's our problem. We included the receptionist from my location. Secretly (the lab girl and I) were hoping she'd forget about the dinner, but lo and behold she didn't. I know you're thinking I'm some horrible callus person, but you have not met my receptionist. As surprising as that is, considering she's a cross between alf and a fog horn, you have not met anything like her.

She's harmless. A nice person. A few bolts loose? Most definitely. Easy to work with? No. Don't get me wrong, as a person she's really nice. But professionally, I can't stand the girl. Nor can the girl from lab, my co-workers or the staff from upstairs. She's good in small doses...very small doses.

So we all went out for dinner tonight to the Olive Garden. This was the second dinner we invited the "alf" to and it was the second time we all wanted to crawl under the table. Almost all the conversations had to revolve around her. She's so loud too, so of course all the surrounding tables were staring at us. But the worst of all is that when she got her meal she acted like such a fool. Oh my god, I know what she reminds me of. She reminds me of Richard from 'Beauty and the Geek," especially when Chuck said to him "You won't go down with honor, you'll go down with ridicule."

Ok as I was saying, she got her meal and within seconds she was totally unsatisfied with her meal. This also happened at our previous dinner. Now if you're not content with your meal, you just mention it to the waitress and not act all pompous, right? Not her. She goes on to tell the waitress that there is no way she's eating it, it's revolting and utterly inedible. Then when another co-workers realizes her pizza is undercooked, Alf blurts it out to the waitress saying 'you're about to really hate us." Poor Franca was so embarassed.

She just has no class (alf that is). She later went on about how "this never happens" but five minutes later says that last time she ate at this restaurant the manager promised her a free meal next time. ???? She's nuts. I can understand being unhappy with your meal and whatever, but to act the way she did was just stupid. UGH!!!!

I just needed to rant about this. She seriously drives me NUTS!!!! She just never thinks before she talks, and when she's trying to be funny, she comes off rude and idiotic. For example, she's seen my car and then makes a (or rather attempts to) joke about how "at least your car isn't black." Uhh, last time I checked it was black. Yikes!

Phew, well I feel a bit better. But I could probably go on forever about this girl.

But I digress and shall step off my little soap box (aw! no more height ;) )

No one is perfect, but most people can conduct themselves professionally.
