I was all set to meet up with an ex-coworker, Kathy, for lunch today after a job interview. We had agreed to meet at 1pm at Austin Java. So I get there at 1pm and proceed to wait …and wait …and wait. Finally, at 1:45 I give up and take off for home. Why didn’t I call Kathy? Because I smartly didn’t put her number in my cell phone.
So I get home and immediately notice there is a message on the machine. I listen to it and it’s Kathy telling me at 1:10pm that she’s waiting for me outside of Austin Java! Well, that can’t be right. I was also waiting outside of Austin Java.

…and then I realize what must’ve happened.

I gave Kathy a call after she tells me she waited an hour for me, I ask her, “Are there multiple Austin Java’s?” To which she replies, “Of course, that’s why I said we will meet at the ‘Barton Creek’ Austin Java.” I, of course, had failed to jot that little fact down when I scrawled “Austin Java” on a post it note when we originally made our plans. It turns out I was waiting at the “Lamar” Austin Java.

Oh well, I promised to actually buy her lunch next time we get together.

And she promised to pick a place that has only one location.
