@earl-of-trumps saidIt's mostly empty, Earl. Is it because of the lousy service, or is it because you drink too fast? π
right. it only matters when my glass is empty
@torunn saidThe speed he drinks at is of little concern. The important thing is that his glass is missing liquid. Here Earl let me fill your glass.πΊπ

@great-big-stees saidI tried to keep up but there were other guests just as thirsty as he was. π

@torunn saidPlease don’t think I was thinking the issue was of your making. I am just trying to be helpful. Relax torunn.π²ππ

@great-big-stees saidThank you, time for my lunch break and a chapter in my book.

@yo-its-me saidI'm reading a biography on Sweden's first female journalist, Wendela Hebbe. Interesting reading about women's conditions in the 19th century. Her father was a priest and unusual in that he encouraged all his daughters' education, even in subjects that were considered only suitable for men because of women's smaller mental capacity. π
That's a lovely way to spend your lunch break.
Are you reading an easy relaxing novel or something else?
@torunn saidI used to like biographies. This one you are reading sounds interesting.

I read too many depressing ones, it took the joy away.
@yo-its-me saidAsk torunn about “ My family and other animals” if you want an uplifting/funny bio.π

@torunn saidMy copy is beyond “dog eared”.π² I may just get it out, pour myself a scotch and retire to the Tavern’s reading room. π₯π

@great-big-stees saidThere is a Swedish website, Bokbörsen, where we can buy books - new and old - from private persons and antiquarians. When my copies of favorite books get too bad to read, I buy extra copies to keep in case they are eventually unavailable. Books come and go so quickly now and once they are no longer printed, they will be gone.

@torunn saidI’ve always found a buddy system, thought out time and motion skills, and thinking ahead of your guest leads to new ideas and better service.

A leader staying ahead, being involved and willing to step in like yours is also a big helpπ. Now you just have to keep him thereπ.
@torunn saidWow. right between the eyes lol
It's mostly empty, Earl. Is it because of the lousy service, or is it because you drink too fast? π
Actually, Torunn, I have a terrible thirst from working out today. Chess pieces get kinda' heavy after a while. π [whistling]
