Tonight we had plans to go out to dinner and see a production at Topeka Civic Theatre with our in-laws, children, and two of the childrens' friends.
We planned to go to a local Japanese steak house that we frequent. We made reservations for 6:00 thinking that should be plenty of time for dinner before the 8:00 performance.
We waited 20 minutes to get our orders taken. Soup and salad came quickly after that. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. At last it was 7:15 and they still had not come to start our meal. So we had no choice but to leave, with enough time to stop at McDonald's and still make it to the show on time.
Seeing as how dinner did not go quite as I had planned I decided to order dessert at intermission during the show.
Intermission comes. I wait. And wait. And wait. Our server is busy and difficult to catch. Finally our server comes by to get the check (which plainly had our dessert order listed.) It is the end of intermission. Our dessert did not arrive and there was no time to remedy the error.
I am still trying to figure out why it was I apparently was not supposed to eat this evening.
This experience did not in ANY way help my efforts to let go of the crankiness I have been combatting for the last week or so.
(Insert grouchy, grumpy noises here)

I seem to have the same issue but with my drinks. I never order a drink beofe I know what I want ot eat, but I guess there is soemrule in thte waiters handbook that says if your customer does nt order a drink first thing you can charge them for it and never bother to bring it out. Hope the show was good.
