Mister Rent-A-Date
Tonight I accompanied my friend Jennifer on her quest to "get-to-know" the co-workers better. Come to think of it, I don't know why I reference Jennifer's name at least once each time ... she's one of my two main readers. Eh. Well, her husband was not able to make the festivities (he was making the world safer) so I was the Rent-A-Date. I didn't have to wear a tuxedo or buy flowers, but I was mandated to bring my "social butterly" personality and be smiling and gracious.
It was pretty fun. We ate at Bucco Di Peppo ... unfortunately our waiter "Andy" seemed to be one lightbulb short of a chandelier. He gave very, very poor service. First of all, we had to wait over 45 mintues for our table to be ready (even though we had reservations at 8:00 pm). We get seated, but basically ignored for another 15-20 minutes. They never brought us house bread, no water, etc. Poor, poor service. Then we ordered, and our waiter got the drinks wrong. Thye brought out our Ceaser salad, but guess what ... they never brought us plates. Finally one of the bus boys took us under his wings and things got much better. We still left a 15% tip ... I wanted it to go to the bus boy. The chicken was particularly scrumptious. After that we went to Karaoke Hut and sang a few. Then back to the apartment to play You Don't Know Jack! I won 4 out of 4.
In other words, Jennifer DON'T KNOW JACK!
So I think my "date" went well. This, of course, was only a free trial. Next time I think it'll cost at least $30.00 for me to be an affable dinner date. If you want the Rent-A-Husband feature it will be the DELUXE package for another additional $19.95. Hehehehe. I'm looking forward to the extra income.
