Ok, I will give you guys my "date" review. At some point, I may give her the address here though, so that could be awkward. Anyway, we started talking from Match.com. I have not had a lot of "luck" with that site, but now I am in my free 6 months, so hey, why not...it's free.
Anyway, she had looked at my profile first, then I went and looked at her and realized we seem to have a lot in common so I wrote her an email. She wrote one back and so on and so forth.
So by last Friday we had spoken on the phone a few times and were both free, which is rare so I said "Hey instead of waiting till later in the weekend, do you want to get together tonight?" She was up for it so we made plans.
We met at the bowling alley at the Palisades Center Mall. If you aren't familiar, it is a 4 level IMMENSE mall in Rockland County that we both live near so it makes for a good meeting place. The bowling alley is ultra modern and hip where you can get waiter and waitress service right at the alley and there is a bar plus a DJ spinning hot new sounds. It's also all computerized where you don't have to do ANYTHING these days and the screens at the end of the alley are showing photo art the entire night. They also had a small area where you can do duck pin bowling, air hockey and shoot pool. The place is cool.
We had fun, the food isn't bad and we had the worst waiter in the history of service. We got skins, and I asked for the sour cream to be on the side instead of heaped on top. He put everything on the side, so I got a dish of sour cream, a dish of bacon bits and no cheese at all. When I asked him what was going on, he said "well you asked for it on the side." I didn't even point out what a fucking idiot he was, I just asked if there SHOULD BE cheese with this dish. So fucktard goes and gets a bowl of shredded cheddar cheese and hands it to me. Imagine how appetizing that is! Bare naked hot chunks of potato, not seasoned in any way....with cold cheese in a bowl and cold bacon bits in a bowl. YUMMY!
So, I flag down a different waitress and say, "Is this what this is supposed to look like?" She made a horrified face and said, "You didn't ask for it that way?"
I said, "No, I asked for the sour cream on the side....and this mess is what I got." She apologized and took all the ingredients to my meal back to the kitchen so it could be made properly. I don't know if the guy was JUST new, JUST the stupidest kid on the planet or both but I question how people that are that ill-equipped function and get jobs in the first place. Don't get me wrong, if he actually was "special needs" I would not speak in such a manner and would be a lot more understanding...I think this is just one of these Gen Y losers that can't comprehend the basic's of taking someone's order and then making sure it is correct.
Anyway, so we bowled 2 games and then decided we wanted to try something else, it was REALLY loud in there and very hot. So we walked out in to the mall and checked out the movie situation. We ended up seeing Juno and you already know what I thought of that. She liked it a lot too.
After the movie, we walked outside together and I said goodbye to her at her car.
That is pretty much the date. It was nice and she seems like a cool girl. Since then I've spoken to her a few more times and she actually brought me lunch at work today. She was in the area and stopping at Taco Bell, I jokingly said I wanted a soft taco....actually thinking she was about an hour away. And she said she would be here in 10 mins, so I thought that was pretty cute. We ate in my office, then I showed her around and introduced her to Cheyenne.
So there you have it. If I go on other dates, I will review them for you as well.
(and that concludes our broadcast day)
