What the hell is it with me and ordering food???

[jbsegal]

1st there was the Ramen Problem.

Yesterday I try to order a Gyros at a Greek restaurant. They're _out_ of Gyros meat.
At least they can substitute lamb souvlaki without too much of a change in taste, but still.

Today I go to a convenience store (more or less - LaVerde's in the MIT Student Center) to get a soda. The fountain is down.
So I go upstairs to Subway - both for food and for the soda I didn't get downstairs.

1st they don't have the bread I want - which they almost never do, but then stop advertising it!
Next, after I choose a meat - which they DO have - I discover they're out of _cheese_. A sub shop. Out of CHEESE, Grommit. Amazing.

Finally, I try to get a soda. Their fountain is dead, too.

What am I going to try to eat tomorrow that I'll be denied??

Maybe Those Beyond are trying to tell you something. Are you feeling more overweight than usual? Is there something else wrong internally? DING-DING, DING-DING-DING!

Perhaps you should stop trying to eat out.

It is a message from the universe that you must learn the craft of noodlemaking and the art of cheesery and keep a goat.

noodlemaking is actually pretty easy.

Please don't order water.

I hear they are a complete protein, and you have two tasty specimens right in your own home!


I am 100% sure you will be denied the opportunity to eat them. :)

How does it feel to be a walking jinx?

In addition to the year when all my fortune cookies were empty, there was a while when all the restaurants I liked burned down. These things, they happen.

Didn't Dad and I tell you that you shouldn't eat out every day of the week? I distinctly remember the conversation re: how you could be barely scraping by whereas I, before moving into Karl's house, had been in a similar situation to yours, with a much lower salary yet attending as many cons. I remember you were shocked, shocked I tell you, that I paid my rent first and then budgeted for play, which included meals out. Oy, if your sainted grandmother were only here to hear this sad story, it would be the death of her!
