Best laid plans

[mizarchivist]

So, I'd planned on a nice time at Diesel, except my respiratory system had other plans. As lifecollage and I were paying for dinner, I sneezed the kind of sneeze that bodes ill for future breathing. Despite instant application of drugs, it was too late, as it was the sort of bad attack that made me go find an allergist a few years ago. The really bad ones only happen a few times a year, and usually in winter.
Given I was just about a full hour later than I expected, the ZOMG crowd- nay, the wall of people in the back was so disheartening that I almost didn't try to breach it at all, except there were exchanges I really wanted to get done. It's days like this that remind me why I stay away from Diesel Tuesdays. Wall. Of. People.
Thanks to all who assisted me and asked after me in my hour of need. Apologies to those I was unable to properly greet.

Is why I arrive super-early with a book; I nestle in and a crowd develops, instead of me having to penetrate a wall...

Indeed. I can handle the noise levels and the crowd density much better if I'm able to experience a gradual increase. Balancing that with eating dinner early enough to not get cranky is problematic. I definitely bought a ticket for the fail boat last night.

Oh that's a new aphorism to me. I'm amused by that, but sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. Pygment said you weren't coping all that well when she saw you.

I will accomplish at least one delivery for you this evening.

This answers a few questions. When I first read this post, I thought 'oh no! But, I MUST go to Diesel when I'm in town....!' I'm glad to hear that I just need to get there early and stake a claim on a couch somewhere or something.

Glad to hear you are doing better.

Thanks for the update, hon

I did see you leave accompanied by a bevy of helpful folk, and I'm glad you got home safely and well.
