Germophobes, Drink, And Food

Long and unusual day today. I actually had someone who refused to be helped by me because she heard me cough when she came into the bank. I came out of my office to introduce myself and ask her if I could help her and she literally backed away. She said she did not want to get any germs. ???? And then she explained she heard me cough. Without giving away that I thought she was a complete loon, I simply explained that I was actually just clearing my throat as a sip of water went down the wrong pipe just before she came in. She wasn't taking any chances and turned to go my partner in the office who happens to be African American and I swear for a minute she was then torn who to go to as she momentarily stopped in her tracks again. It could have been a coincidence or misstep but perhaps she fears germs more than black people so off she went to his office. The rest of the day was odd too and it was one of those where you just watch the clock waiting for 5:30.

After work, there was a mixer with my networking group. It was a very enjoyable time. I think out of all the ones we have hosted so far, tonight was the most fun. It was held at Bar Louie across the river at Station Square. Drinks were a bit pricey though. Crown & Coke's were $7.50 each (not that it was a factor in the enjoyment of cocktails) so I guess we missed happy hour. I think I shall try negotiating prices for our group in the future if we are at more pricey establishments. We do make arrangements for our group beforehand and we bring a lot of business so it’s worth a shot. After, a group of us went for a late dinner at Sesame Inn also part of the same complex. I have found another Chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh that lives up to the high standards that I have for my food from the Orient, so that is a good thing.

Glad you're out having fun. I'll shake my Pittsburgh snow globe and send some white stuff your way.
