People from New Jersey like The Dish
My ex reads my blog. One of the good recruiters I’ve been talking to was looking for good QA people, so I thought I could refer my ex to the recruiter so I could get the referral bonus. It turns out my ex is not looking for a job right now, but he did congratulate me about recent developments. We went on to have an interesting email exchange about The Dish. (My ex and his current, Nick, live out in New Jersey, near where my ex and I used to live. They’re among the people who use my neighborhood as a gay mecca.)
The ex: I read your blog earlier and saw the news. Congratulations. Also saw that you and Brian are looking for a place together. Congratulations again.Me: When were you in Chelsea? I actually did sense that you were nearby.
The ex: Saturday. Had dinner at The Dish around 6, the movie at the theatre on 23rd at 7:15, and went to the party afterward.
Me: Huh. We probably crossed paths several times. I go to the dish almost every day. I was there Saturday. You know what I did Saturday, though. It’s on my blog.
The ex: The Dish is good, and the waiter we had was way hot.
Me: I love the dish. All the waiters are hot. They have that healthy menu, brown rice, sweet potatoes. They know their market. If you go in there a lot you get a special greeting from the host. The waiters are straight, though. Also, if you go in a lot, they give you free stuff. Brian and I got cheesecake yesterday.
The ex: The guy with the bars of music band tattoo is str8?
Me: Yes. He actually works out at David Barton. My bud, who’s GM at David Barton, and I are often in the dish together. The waiter wants to date the girls at the front desk of the gym.
The ex: Why does David Barton have girls at the front desk?
