Do you know this lady?

I decided to multi-task today.  It was the best multi-tasking I've done in my whole life.  If you know me at all, you know I don't do more than one thing at a time or I go berserk.  Anyway, I took my work laptop to my pedicure and it was the best hour of work I've ever spent... not to mention that the money I was earning seriously offset the pedicure fee.

But here's where the story begins.  The woman in the chair next to me was also getting a pedi... and an mani.... Simultaneously.  Picture Dorothy in the Emerald City but as a frosty-tipped hair middle-aged woman with a tan and short shorts.  I wouldn't have cared except the poor Asian woman doing the manicure had to keep coming over on my side to get to the woman's right hand and my personal space felt a bit compromised.

I worked and soaked.  Simultaneously.

And she wouldn't stop talking.  Another benefit to bringing the laptop?  Quickly typing a list of topics she rattled on about.  Here it is:

• "Do you have organic nail polish?"--  "Do you think if I brought in my own you could use it on me?"  --"You really should consider buying organic nail polish. Then I could tell ALL my friends to come here for the organic nail polish..." -- "How about organic lotion?  Do you have any organic lotion?" -- "You really should consider...."
• "Ooooh.  I smell something... what IS that smell?" --  "No it's not the lotion, it's something chemical..." -- "Oh, it's the alcohol?  Boy that sure is strong... the odor... burns my nose..."
• As she was getting her forearm massaged:  "Oh, now that feels nice... that's my tennis and golfing arm, it get's so sore..."
• "Ow!  That's a little rough!  You need to lighten up, that is too hard." -- "Oh dear, now that tickles, you're tickling me..." --  "I am just so sensitive... my feet are so sensitive..."
• "You can turn the TV to anything you want... it's up to you what you watch..." -- "Do you get Fox News?" -- "I really don't like Soap Operas, do you?"--  "I really prefer Fox News".

Amazing I got any work done at all.
