I'm sure that's what it was. My bet was on some random apartment's toaster, but the actual food establishment would make more sense.
Hahaha, I would love to be a Byatt character. I think. No, actually I'd just love to be as smart as one. Though I'm not actually interested in the education of children, or children in general; I just like their books. XD Which probably makes me even less subject to a reasonable defense. XD Mostly I cope with it by laughing in their faces and saying something Fiona-ish. Today, for example:
MALE CO-WORKER (sotto voce): Kids are dumb. FIONA (sotto voce, amiably): You're dumb. CUSTOMER: Where's the bathroom? MALE CO-WORKER & FIONA: We don't have one. CUSTOMER (belligerently): Yes you do. MALE CO-WORKER & FIONA: Sorry, the closest public one is around the corner. MALE CO-WORKER (sotto voce): Next time, tell them to **** ***. FIONA: Reminds me of the time somebody asked if we even had men's restrooms at Wellesley. I was really tempted to tell them that male professors had to walk around to the other side of the lake. MALE CO-WORKER: Totally should have. FIONA'S SMART ADULT PERSON CRED: *goes up*
Rant coming up, eventually. I hear the siren call of Campbell & Reece (7th edition) from the depths of the library...
