Miss Information is annoyed by lunch
It's like the Odyssey except Odysseus just really wants a falafel wrap.
Miss Information woke up early and went to the gym. Thursday is her favourite day. She has a whole routine: first practice walking with parallel bars, then move to the cardio room and sign up for her favourite machine (everyone else's favourite too--fights break out about who was next)
--it's like a bike but with leg extension instead of pedals, then she moves on to the arm bike--its like a bike but you just pedal with your arms, then group exercise.
The gym was quiet so there were several bike-things free. The gym guy asked which one she wanted. He said most people prefer one with the nicest view. Most of the windows overlook the dumpster but she did have the best view of it. Because it was so quiet she got lots of time to look at the dumpster, skipped the arm bike and went right to fitness class--which started with an unfortunate version of Sound of Silence--not the cover version by Disturbed which Miss Information really likes--and then seated yoga. Please note that seated yoga involves rather a lot of standing. Miss Information sucks at standing, so this class can be frustrating but she is trying.
All that trying is hard work and she was very hungry by the end. She thought about getting food at the gym cafe but she was thinking about the falafel shop in the mall close to home. Delicious and spicy.
Her ride came early but then hit traffic. She was nearly dying of starvation when she got home. Dumped her gym bag and headed out to get her falafel wrap...but wait. She's really hungry. The fast food place with vegetarian options and onion rings is closer.
Right. She heads to the fast food place.
Side note: Miss Information is a wheelchair user and she is not good with doors. She decided early that if your door button doesn't work she's walking away...well rolling, even if you have onion rings.
So that happened. Obviously a sign she should have that falafel wrap. She heads to the mall.
Falafel guy is happy to see her but regrets that he's out of falafels. She decides to try another fast food place. It doesn't have much vegetarian food but Miss Information makes an exception for their poutine which is delicious and probably not vegetarian.
Their door button doesn't work. Bastards. She sighs and heads to another fast food place. No vegetarian food but the best fries ever. It has a very nice ramp and reliable doors. Unless of course a pickup truck has parked blocking the ramp. Which it has.
Well hell.
With no good options left Miss Informations decides on a popular chain with a boring vegetarian burger. Their automated ordering machines won't print reciepts for some reason. So everyone has to stand around as the employees call out things like: who ordered the spicy veggie burger with fries?
Still Miss Information finally acquires food...but it's not a falafel wrap. She still wants a falafel wrap.
Sigh.
