Dine and Dash

It’s not bad enough I have to put up with flunkies, Bob figures and independent reviewers, every now and then I run into them after work.

The other night I was out to eating dinner at a local favorite spot.  When I was getting ready to leave I saw two independent auditors (husband and wife), whom I work with on almost a daily basis, sit down across the restaurant.  The unfortunate part was that they were sitting right on the most logical exit path out of the restaurant.  I had to think fast, the last thing I wanted was to have to say hi to them after finishing my French toast (yes I eat French toast for dinner).  So I did the only thing I could, I made a straight run to the counter/bar and took that path out using the a big potted plant as a partial shield.  I kept my head down and walked fast (probably making me more noticeable), but the goal of not accidentally making eye contact with them while walking pass their table was met. 

The person eating with me just looked at me like I was John Nash when I tried to explain the situation. 

Because I have to strategically plan my exits at restaurants, I throw rocks!
