    The two minute warning

    Today, 5.58pm.

    "Neverna, my aunt has invited you to the aroi maak restaurant for a meal."
    'Sounds good. When?'
    "Six o'clock."
    'Today?'
    "Yes."
    'It's two minutes to six now.'
    "Yes. Are you going?"



    It's not the first time I've had this 2 minute warning - and sometimes I don't get the luxury of the full 2 minutes. Am I the only one?

    I don't go for several reasons, time being the least.

    1. The aroi mak restaurant will inevitably be a mosquito infested dump with no parking, warm beer and uncomfortable chairs.
    2. They will order the exact same shit they have ordered the last 20 times you went.
    3. It won't be particularly "aroi".
    4. I have nothing in common with them and don;t particularly like them.
    5. the amazing signature dish that the place is famous for because someone saw a lakorn actor talking about it and that they haven't stopped reminding you of for the last 2 hours is always something along the lines of fish arsholes stewed in a mixture of pond scum and assorted twigs.

    It is what it is.

    Some don't respond well to spontaneous and impromptu stimulation - instead relying on the planned and linear time measurement.

    Only life cycles.

    As Necron says if it's the same people eating the same shit at the same shit restaurant, there's nothing spontaneous or impromptu about it apart from the rudeness of the short notice.

    I forgot, someone, usually the cause of this clusterfuck will invariably be 45min to 1 hour late (due to lack of notice) and you will all have to stand outside breathing diesel fumes until they get there.

    Sounds delightful..count me out. When I go out to eat it's generally by myself at a place I like. No worries no nasty Issan curries.
    Mind ya my "Issaan family" serves up mostly good food but sometimes oy jeezers that's nasty. I never go out with them. Well there isn't anyplace nearby, and i know all the good places.

    To be fair, that is about 90% of Thai 'cuisine'.

    The restaurant in question is usually pretty good and I enjoy going there. There's also ample parking. However, I prefer more than 2 minutes notice to go somewhere, especially when a shower and a change of clothes is required, or when it involves eating, and this evening I had other plans, plans that I might have changed if I had been given more notice.

    Quite possibly, but sometimes Surin, getting a dead rat in a box is not the beginning of a transcendental awakening that will lead you on a mystical odyssey of enlightenment and inner peace.
    Sometimes, it's just a dead rat in a box.






    Or lunch.


    Take for example the other day, as I quietly sat and watched our sometime LK addled worker try to chop firewood with a hammer, breaking both the hammer and his toe.
    Has he educated me to a new level of understanding in woodchopping?
    Should I throw away my very expensive and fine fiskar axe I have in the shed and take up the hammer?
    No, he, despite his inscrutable oriental eastern upbringing, is an idiot.
    Now at one with his broken toe.

    She knows not to ask me now.

    "And why would I want to go out and be with people I don't like when I can sit at home and argue with people on the internet? Do bring me back some Moo Tod though, eh love"

    Fish arseholes are good.

    What's not good about an arsehole that smells like a fanny?

    Today I have been given the luxury of 105 minutes - for something that has obviously been planned for quite some time - a group retirement party. Thanks but no thanks.
