Fortune: You will soon meet Robot Waitress

I think it’s a blahhhhggg today, not a blog.   Well, I don’t really like this hotel living, In fact I Hate it.  It’s just 7 pm here but the spring sun is still well up and the warmth is trying to peek in through these hotel curtains.  I really haven’t done anything productive all day.  Doug had me come on post to take him somewhere during lunch.  That was it.  I have a hard time staying afloat with motivation right now.  The hotel, interestingly  enough is run by eastern Indians (not native american) and they actually LIVE here, in a few of the rooms.  How can that be?   We’ve been here for 19 days in this hotel, and 15 in the other one on post, and I just never want to see another “hole-tel” again!  Eating out is also getting on my nerves.  We found a cheap Chinese buffet that Doug likes. 

 I don’t like Chinese food, only tolerate it, and this place had me wondering, how many Chinese people are actually IN the midwest, anyway? 

The staff at the buffet is so accomodating annoying that it’s more like you have robots at the door. 

 First, they hide out around the corner, then they vault towards the door as soon as it opens.

Next time I’m truly going to count how many steps we actually get inside before they ask  “How many?”  (as in how many are eating) 

 Then they march off towards an empty booth menus in hand.  Before everyone even sits down they ask what everyone is drinking. 

During the course of the meal they quickly wisk away any sign of a dirty dish, without bothering to ask how the food is, or if we need anything else.

 Even the ones we’re trying to eat eating from.  Of course we adults know better to say, “oh I’m not done with that” but poor big “A”!  She had food swiped twice! and a spoon swiped once! 

 To busy ourselves we peek at our fortunes and discover that we can make more interesting ones if we just fold the little pieces of paper at the words we want to change. I won’t repeat here what fortune i made with mine. LOL

 

  We were all at least in a good mood, although these girls NEVER stop their public shenanigans, ever! 

Little “A” announces that she has to pass gas, and “it’s gonna be a loud one”

  Well, thank YOU ABC news anchor! 

 I giggle and charitably tell her I will make noise to divert attention from her fart.  (yes, I AM where they get their silliness from)

  I say “just tell me when….”  She lets it rip at the same time I say, “”"BAAAANNNNTTTT!!!***buzzing loudly like some odd bird laying an egg. 

All of us cannot stop laughing. 

The waitresses come over and clean up more dishes, swiping Big “A’s” dessert in the process.  Me thinks they won’t get a good tip. The waitress was at our table , cleaning rag in hand, before we were even all out of the booth.

    Oddly enough this post made me want Chinese food. There is a nice little place that has a wonderful lunch buffet not far from here… and if they take your plate before you are done, you can just go get more.
