With that in mind, the manager creates a list of a number of tables available at each time slot and this is finite. When those time slots are full, they are full. I cannot create a new room with more tables beccause someone wants me to. When I say "I have no tables for a party of 6." That literally means "I have no tables for a party of 6". It doesn't mean that if you bribe me or say please or ask "how about at 8pm?" that I can magically pull a table for 6 out of my hat and give it to you. If I say, I only have openings at 6pm and 8pm, that means, I only have openings at 6pm and 8pm. Not 6:30, 6:15, 6:45, 7:00...and so on. I'm not joshing you or lying to you or just having fun at your expense - it is my job to get as many people in that restaurant as can comfortably fit without compromising our service standards. Why wouldn't I give you your table if I have it? We're here to make money for mango's sake! Not to make people miserable by withholding their access to the restaurant!

Ok, I feel better now.
Oh, dwndrgn...I really can sympathize. Only it was real, live tutors people used to want me to pull out of my...erm, hat, instead of tables for dinner.

"What do you mean, you don't have a tutor right now? I've got a test in fifteen minutes and I need a Vulcan mind meld in order to be able to pass the thing. Don't you know that you are violating my civil, human, and constitutional rights by not having a tutor just sitting around waiting for me to show up."
Well, they usually really only said some variation of the first sentence, and occasionally implied the third. Often, though they really seemed to think the mind meld might do the trick. In fact, a couple of times I told students that we didn't do them in the tutorial center. *Picture confused non-science fiction fans here*

They just couldn't understand that we had only a certain number of tutors on staff, that not all of them were on duty all the time, and that if they didn't want to risk not being able to get one on a walk-in basis (we did take walk-ins, but only on a first-come, first-served basis) they should have made an appointment.

I wanted to put up a sign that read "Your lack of planning and foresight is not our emergency", but the bosses wouldn't go for it. Party-poopers.

I may take a moment of self-flattery to claim to be a bit handy in the kitchen. Which may or may not be a lie

Though the drink impares it somewhat. I think I put about twice as much garlic with the mushrooms as I should have

Hay Sir Pyan! Your avatar's so cute! *huggles Pyan*

Let's find someone and ritually sacrifice them to one of the known deities of the Chronns!

*cackles madly then regains composure*

Do you have anything in mind?
