I have been hit on before, and I feel like over time I have become less oblivious. However, I was recently taken off guard and, I feel, tricked.
I recently attended a Yelp Elite event. For those who aren't familiar with the terminology, a Yelp Elite is one who posts a lot of reviews, is active on forums, etc.
I didn't know the majority of the people that were attending, but after discussing dressing up on the forums, I arrived in a super cute outfit ready for a fun-filled day.
We had all been given name tags, and were mingling in the lobby of a hotel after going on a tour. While standing around, I tried (for the zillionth time) to check in on Yelp. Stupid Verizon let everyone else check in, but not me! Grrr. After putting my phone away in defeat, I was approached by one of the young men in our group. He complimented me on my outfit (which, as previously stated, was super cute), and started chit chatting with me. The exchange was pleasant. He said blah blah blah, I said yada yada yada...until....
"So, is your boyfriend an Elite?"
"I don't have a boy-" Oh. Oh yes, he was clever indeed.
GRRRRRR,

No Steak Day
Have you had one of those days? Y'know, one of those days where no matter how hard or fast you work, you still feel like you didn't get anything done? Yep, had one of those today.
My email turnout was pretty slim due to working on some issues with our Amazon seller account, a photoshoot for one of our new products, and other random stuff. All in all, I got plenty done, but it's hard to show it.
But wait, it gets worse. I decided that I wanted steak for lunch.
Fortunately, there is an Outback Steakhouse just down the street. So after coercing my co-workers in joining my steakravaganza and writing down their orders, I check Yelp to find out what time they open and get their phone number. They open at 4pm. For dinner. What the heck, Outback? Why ya gotta play me like that, yo?
Seriously, though. What is the point of having a lunch menu if you don't serve lunch? Ugh.
