Bah.

So, grauwulf has been missing his fun co-workers, from back when he worked at the company he really liked, before they stopped being really likable, and they've started a geek get together night every month or two. And he said did I want to go along this evening, to which I said sure and had my coat on and everything when I discovered that (despite an earlier effort on his part to change where they were meeting this time) it's at everybody's-but-my favorite local underground restaurant. It's not exactly my sort of place, but it was just fine until they changed something with their ventilation system about a year and a half ago, and every time I've been there since I've had intermittent gusts of cigarette smoke wandering through, no matter where I sit. Most other people don't even notice, but it's enough that I took my coat back off and didn't go, and now I feel bad about that, too. Bother stupid people, and their stupid smelly toxic burning things.

Honestly I would have stayed home, too.

It's not so much that as that I was all ready to go out and be social, and grauwulf was all excited that I was coming with him, and then we both had this moment of being suddenly disappointed.

But yeah, I'm kind of done going anywhere that ends up making me smell cigarette smoke.

I understand entirely; I have this problem too. And then it gets in my hair, and my things, and it fucks up my lungs for days, and argh what just no.

I'm sorry. Best wishes for a better venue next time.
