So I went to baskin robbins for their 31 cent scoop night and got myself 3 scoops for 4 cents off a dollar. Not great ice cream, probably not even a good deal when doing the math but I’m a sucker. The place was real busy but one of the employees skipped me ahead. I guess when you have a parlor full of kids you want to get the single scruffy bearded guy out as soon as possible.
After getting the cream I ate it outside while talking to gin-gin. I would have gone back in and gotten some more but I had to get gas and meet some people from the department at chili’s. I think my department has a fixation on chili’s for out of department get togethers.
Basically what happens at these get togethers is it is me and 4-6 girls and lots of girl talk, comments about professors and uncertainties about the future. But it really isn’t the social aspect that bothers me. The price does, the food and drinks are twenty percent higher than anywhere else.
I feel stingy.
