- Well, it was time to leave Tucson. More importantly, it was time to quit my job. And my employers, swell guys that they are, decided to take the whole office out to celebrate. They didn't tell me about it for a while, but I eventually got them to invite me, too.
- They let me pick the place, so I picked a nice restaurant downtown. But that was too far, so I picked hot dogs at am/pm. But some people (everyone) didn't want to eat gas station hotdogs in a parking lot with me, so I picked a sushi place. But people didn't want to eat raw fish and nobody thought it through enough to realize you can get other things there, too, so I just picked Denny's. I had one Denny's left in Tucson to visit, so that worked out. Also, Denny's always has horrid service and even worse food, so it was a nice way to get back at everyone without anyone having a terribly valid reason to complain, since it technically fit all the criteria. Suckers.
- I've had problems with those jukeboxes in the past, but that didn't stop me. I put in a dollar and started picking my six songs. A lot of CDs were unavailable for some reason. Or maybe the machine just rejected my choices. So I had to pick a lot of Jimmy Buffet and Lynyrd Skynyrd and stuff. But after a while I noticed that, as I would pick each selection, the previous selection stopped playing and the new one cued up. I figured it would all sort out in the end. It didn't. Damnit. Scott showed up late and then went up to the jukebox himself. I let him. Ha ha.
- It took a LONG time to get our orders. Like, an hour. Not that it's not understandable, as there were a lot of us with no notice during lunch. But I looked up at the prep line after about forty minutes and saw that other waiters (and even our own) were pushing plates out of the way to get other plates. Not all of our orders were done, so they were just letting the rest sit up there until they were all ready. Which is the polite thing, I suppose, but some of them were up there for a LONG time. And then, after most (but not all) were up there getting overcooked in the warmer, our waiter looked through a big man-bag, got something, and apparently left the building. For a while.
- Justice.
- WAY: undetermined
- Free Stuff: nothing (unless you count the food for which my bosses paid)
