I’m not sure what it is, but I have this ability to become invisible to waiters/waitresses. It happened again today, when we went to a local eatery for some mighty fine Fish & Chips (which is one of my many weaknesses) We sat there for ten minutes waiting for our waitress to show up, then when she did, she just took our drink orders. Another ten minutes, and we got our drinks, and ordered (three orders of Fish & Chips please) Ten more minutes, and we got our food. Then she pretty much left us alone. We ate, and waited for our bill, which didn’t seem to be forthcoming, so the other guys left their money on the table, but I needed change, so I went up to the counter, where I was told I “had to get my bill from my waitress.” Buh. I knew that, but she didn’t want to give it to me, because I’m invisible.

How do I know I’m invisible? Yesterday, the bus driver went completely by my bus stop. Lots of places this wouldn’t be a big deal, because there are stops every block, but in my case its actually 4 blocks, on the coldest day in over a month, four extra blocks is mighty perturbing. I walked the entire way shaking my head. I did ding the bell, and I was standing at the door a block ahead of time. Oh well, I hear that being invisible has it’s advantages - at least that’s what watching movies has taught me…

Congratulations to a certain guy at work who’s getting married - They’ve set a date and everything. He told one person, and it was across the office before he finished his sentence…
