Complaint: What does one do when one's food at a restaurant is not as one expected? Picture it: Lunch, large nice lakeside restaurant & bar with long local history, not cheap, asked if I wanted my burger "pink or not pink", I replied "well". I was then asked if I wanted mayonaise, I replied "No mayonaise". The wait was long despite a nearly empty room. What I got was a burned burger that was a charcoal lover's delight , a tough dried out bun that had to be sawed with a serrated knife, and was slathered with mayonaise. Really not happy at all, yet I did nothing except take the top bun off and force my way through 1/2 of the burger and bottom bun.
When I paid with my credit card I did not leave a tip and wrote "no tip for chef" on the receipt. The young, obviously inexperienced, server at the counter appologized profusely but I didn't blame him and actually handed him a small cash tip to make sure he didn't have to share it with the chef.
Perhaps I should have replied "not pink" but perhaps they should ask "pink or not pink", burned or not burned"? Or perhaps they should just learn what "rare", "medium", "well" means like it has for at least my entire 70 years. rare = bloody, medium = pink in center, well = not pink, not burned. Mumble, grumble...
Additional complaint: I first sat at the counter about 4 seats away from two men. One was an alpha and was talking to his single captive audience quite loudly & incessantly, he obviously knew everything about anything and loved hearing himself talk and wanted everybody in the room to know it. I finally asked the counter server to move my meal to the far side of the "U" shaped bar as far away from the talking as I could get. It was better but I still heard far more about stocks, politics, and how to deal with women than I wanted to.
I am trying to do too much on this computer so it is being slow. I am downloading Adobe, and installing Autodesk while trying to install my Carrara content via DIM. I am also browing the web in different browsers.
Now my roommate is up and she is back to talking to herself.

would it really be so bad to use the same insulin pen needle 2 days in a row?
pen the doctor gave me only came with 14. the box of new needles is 40 bucks. the pen is 160. 4 times a yyear. - complaint. no wanna blow 200 bucks 4 times a year. consumer driven health plans suuuuuuuck
It is 4pm now on Sunday, June 3, 2018! Where did the time go?
Into the time-space continuum
Is the time-space continuum moving or are we? It's probably all relative.
I think we all say "continuum" as <con-tin-you-um> so ...
Query: How do you say "vacuum" <vak-youm>? Or <vac-you-um>?
Query: If the the British say "clerk" as <klark> do they say "jerk" as <jark>? And should "berry" be <bear-ee> or should it <ber-ee>. And what about "bury"? <bear-ee>, <ber-ee> or <boor-ee> I'm sooo confused.

That isn't something I'd recommend. Two things happen when you use a needle: 1) it gets dirty - the air, your hands, your skin, etc. 2) it gets dull, quickly. (very, very quckly). You can't see it dull, but, you will feel it. I'd speak with your doctor about assistance plans. Many of the pharma companies will underwrite your costs. I don't know who, where, and by how much, but you have to ask (and ask again).

Having worked in fine dining for many years, I could never understand the trained chef's disdain for any meat cooked 'well done', but I'll tell you that it is a real thing! Many chefs, even and perhaps especially, at very expensive resteraunts will burn a well done order on purpose, I've seen it soooo many times. I've never worked where they serve burgers, but with filets and the like, it's best to ask for it to be butterflied.
Non complaint: spent the whole day immersed in the latest Stormlight Archives book, that's luxury... an entire day to do nothing but read!
Complaint: I have a pair of reading glasses that sit here next to my computer. I don't use them anywhere else in the house, they never leave this desk. They go on my head when I sit down, and come off before I get up. I never handle them except by the ear bars. Yet, the lenses do not remain clean. I clean them most carefully with soap & water and dry properly, then after a couple of days they have greasy smears and spots on them. Is the grease jumping off my face onto them out of pure maliciousness?

Yeah, I'm aware of that quirk of chefs. I always order good meat medium or medium rare, but hamburg I always order well. There have been too many e coli poisonings. Too easy for "frugal" restaurants to keep it just a bit too long in the 'fridge (or out of it). But despite the long honorable tradition of this particular lakeside restaurant, the food has always been just OK. I would not classifiy this place as "fine" dining but $18 for a hamburger is not cheap. If I go there again, (I'll probably have to, there aren't that many places to eat around here that are not franchises) I'll make more of a fuss about how I'd like my meat cooked and make a noticeable stink if it isn't right. The young kid serving behind the bar was trying, but I could see it was probably his first day on the job so I gave him some slack for his minor flubs.

The shon/shown aberration seems to be a regional affectation, the only (two) people I've met that say shown are both from Central Pennsylvania. The prymer/primmer issue might be more of an elitist affectation. Back in the mid 80's I worked with a crop of new doctors who all insisted on pronouncing centimeter as santimeter some went so far as to put the emphasis on the -ti- syllable. It took me a while to figure out what a freaking sanTImeter was. However, my vacuum/Hoover IS a Dyson.
