The 3 textbooks I ordered online came in the mail Friday. Just in time to do a whack load of reading over the weekend. I read a chapter for IT and took the online quiz yesterday and I started reading Consumer Behavior but decided to go to Sonic with Kristen and then watch a movie with her and some other friends instead. I hope to finish the CB reading today... but there's still 31 pages left! Boo for long chapters... but at least it's a marketing book which means there's lots of pictures and graphics :)
All my life I have suffered from random nosebleeds. Like not just when I get hit in the face with a basketball or something... just completely random. Since coming to Arkansas with the more humid climate I've had a lot fewer of them. However I always get one or two when I go home for Christmas due to the drier climate and sometimes I'll get one when I come back to school just because my nose is trying to adjust to the climate change. Well this time was no different. Except it's been going all week off and on. I will have a nosebleed, get it stopped, and the next day or two the "scab" will come off and it will bleed all over again. How irritating!
Friday night Matt and I were going to dinner before the Brad Paisley/Dierks Bentley concert (which was awesome!!! see Facebook for pics and vids!). We wanted to eat at Texas Roadhouse just off McCain and we put our name on the list even though the wait was going to be 35-45 min. Finally we decided we couldn't wait anymore and we'd have to go somewhere else. I figured we'd just grab fast food and get to the concert. But we saw Pizza Hut right across the parking lot with only a few cars there and decided to eat there. They sat us down and took our order (dinner for 2: medium pizza, breadsticks and 2 drinks). Our server Bobby** brought us our drinks but our breadsticks didn't arrive till HALF HOUR later (Aren't breadsticks kinda an appetizer... like you're supposed to get them right away kinda thing?...) Right after we get our breadsticks we hear the supervisor Kathy** say "Has anyone seen Bobby?" and some random worker says he saw him in the back. She goes back there, we hear some talking but we can't hear what they're saying. A few minutes later another worker says "Kathy, you just lost a server!" "What??" "Yeah, Bobby just quit." "He's not quitting, I'm firing him!" (At this point I'm in a state of hilarious shock... did our server really just quit/get fired in the middle of our meal?). Awhile later Kathy comes over and asks "are you still waiting on something?" "Uh yeah, the pizza we ordered 40 min ago!" She goes to check on it and finally Matt goes up to the front. Turns out with all the commotion of Bobby leaving and everything and because they were "really busy" (granted, they had a lot of delivery orders... but there were only 4 other tables besides us dining in!!) our pizza wasn't even in the oven yet! Matt said we couldn't wait any longer despite Kathy's attempts to persuade us that it would only be another 15 minutes. They didn't make us pay for the breadsticks and drinks and we just left. We had eaten 2 breadsticks a piece and we missed the opening act of the concert. It was kinda frustrating but yet hilarious at the same time. What a gong show!
