There is a reason why I never make decisions. Especially when it comes to "where do you want to eat." See, I live under this curse which causes my 'choice' to suddenly have a case of the worst service or quality ever. It happens all the time. It's like my own little Murphy's law. If I ever actually choose something, whatever can go wrong will.

Take Primos. I LOVE Primos d'italia. They have this great herb bread loaf that's all warm and soft and... well, herby. Perfect oil, good service and an absolutely amazing pasta dish: Asiago Spinach Pasta, which has spinchach and chicken and all sorts of goodness in it. I love this place but Darrell, who introduced me to in to begin with, is less into Italian than several other choices so I usually try to get my friends to go with me.

So, my rotation is ending and the office I'm working in wanted to take me and the other intern out to lunch and wanted us to pick the place. I tried to get out of it, I really did but when someone brought up Primos I just said "let's go there."

So yesterday was the lunch. It was awful. The bread was crusty, the service was slow (even though there was a table of 16 of us, the place was pretty empty otherwise), and the kitchen was out of Pineapple. They brought all the plates out at random different times so some of us were eating and some were watching others eat. The worst though was Stan, who is my cube-mate. He didn't get his food until the rest of us were nearly done eating. He ended up asking for it to go and thankfully they had the good sense not to even bring him a bill. But seriously.

Anyway, that's not the first time. Seems like every time I take someone to a place I enjoy I end up apologizing for it... what is up with that?

Anyway, having lunch away from the office with everyone was nice. Even our squadron director came, which I wasn't expecting. It's interesting to see how different personalities can be away from the pressure of work.

Now, on to the weekend! Ethan is feeling much better, having shared his cold or whatever it was with me. The girls want to have a cookout with Marty and Reanon and the kids so we'll probably give them a call and see if they are busy and then tonight we will probably go to the Drive-in Movie theater and see Night at the Museum. I'm a little nervous about how EJ will do since it doesn't start until 9 pm, but I'm hoping we can just get him to sleep through it. Other than that I think we'll be doing some housework, yardwork and general all around work. Have to get the girls ready for their day camp that starts on Monday. So, yay.

  1. Priscilla, I have had that happen to me too! My sister and I got so nervous about saying we liked some place as that day it would be not good! Well, I think that every place has bad days.......although we went to this one place one time, loved it! The next couple times, it was awful!!! They undercooked the food, the service was terrible, they were out of everything and needless to say we never went back and they went out of business!
