Ferret is a bad influence

We went to a diner last night, and had a teenage waitress who looked like she was sleepwalking. Which meant just terrible service for us, with no attempt at an apology.

So Ferret messed with her, asking for stuff we didn't need.
"Could we get some A-1?" (she brought it) "Sorry to bother you - hot sauce?" (she brought it) ("I forgot - could I have some ketchup?" (she brought it)
Me: "Umm..honey, could you try to get something I actually *want* - another soda?"
Well. THAT she wouldn't bring. Another waitress (cheerfully) got that.

We did talk to the hostess as we left - but even that was him being evil; he said later, "If you're going to complain about the staff, be cheerful and nice about it - that way, their boss knows the problem is NOT with the customer!"

Whuf.

So this morning, I get on the crowded train and have to ask someone to move his bag so I can sit. Said fellow was taking up three seats, so it wasn't as if I was crowding him - but *such* attitude..! As soon as I got up to leave, he grumbled and moved his bag back across where I had been sitting...and I have to confess I really wanted to mess with him, but couldn't think of a good way to do so.

Which is probably a good thing.
But I still blame Ferret for being a bad influence.

new scar

..I think.
(dammit)
It's not even for a good reason - they never are.

An alligator tries to eat my hand...no scars.
I drag our fox out of the caracal's side of their shared cage, and she scratches me..I get a scar.
Weird thing is, it matches another one on the same arm from an iguana scratch...and it's in the same place that I used to have another iguana scratch scar.

*siiiigh*

the elaborate cross stitch I was talking about..

Ferret Toy

He got his X-Box today.

I have to say, it sure is pretty.
It both looks and sounds like he's watching movies.

<- not a game player...still impressed

so restless..

..must be the full moon..yeah yeah, that's it.

I'm fighting with my computer yet again, trying to get my CD Creator reinstalled but it's asking for a disk I don't have, and I'm pretty sure Ferret will have no idea where it is (he did all this crap when we first got the computer 2-1/2 years ago)...so there are data CDs I can't seem to access, and I think this is part of the reason why.
*growl*

So I'm sitting here stalking my email box. How sad is *that*?

Pah. I'm logging off Real Darn Soon and just working on the new cross stitch - it's a quickie piece I'm doing for a 9/11 remembrance quilt, and so far it's going faster than I thought it would. Now I just need to not screw up the major image on it - I don't have a chart, I'm just taking an image and stitching without a net...er, chart. But this is where I could really screw the whole thing up. eep.

Figures!

I don't keep copies of articles electronically - things that take up so little room to store.

But I *DO* keep copies of newsletters that are 500MB big that I really had nothing to do with!

AUGH!

Cool for IAHA; bad for me.

Pah. I'm going to bed.
