I was feeling a bit down the one day because I had just gotten a call that I was not chosen for a job that I interviewed for. I texted my friend that I used to work with and told her I didn't get the job. She asked if I needed some human contact and suggested we go out to lunch.
We went to a place that neither one of us had ever been to. It's called the All Aboard Dinor.
The place isn't much to look at on the inside but the staff was friendly and the food was good. It sits right next to the railroad tracks and we did watch a train go by while we were there.
The train was also running inside the dinor. The track runs all the way around the whole place.
When we went to the register to pay they had a sign saying they offered a senior citizen discount for anyone over 60. I said to my friend, that's me. Enough said because the girl gave me the dicount.
I am sorry you did not get the job you were hoping for - but so glad you have a friend you feel comfortable to reach out to at a time like this who is there for you! Hey - at least you got the discount ha-ha
ReplyDeleteGood you got the discount on your lunch. Sorry you didn't get the job. Here in Montreal you usually only get a call when you are chosen and no call if you are not chosen. Sending you a hug 🫂 🤗 ❤️
ReplyDeleteThis was such a good day! How was the food and what did you order.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the job - there will be one just right for you, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteGood to go out with a friend for lunch - nothing beats a chat with a friend.
Good idea to get out, and I once ate in a train car, called "bob's train" ha ha. like Ginny I want to know what kind of food they had and what you ordered,
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't get the job but glad you went out with a friend. Having someone to talk to and hang out with is so important.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you didn't get the job, Ann. But I'm glad you had an in-person friend who came to your rescue. Those are the best type of friends to have, for sure. I have no one like that. What a darling diner (or should I say "dinor"). Sometimes the places that look so-so from the outside have the best doggone food. I'm glad that was the case with this place. I've often thought I'd like to live by a train so I could hear the whistle. My husband's grandma lived right next to the tracks. ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteToo bad you didn't get the job Ann.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found a friend to share it with!!
You have such talent in so many things that you should find a way to make your hobby a profession.
Sorry about the job. Glad you have a good friend to commiserate with, though. They make all the difference. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun cafe. My husband would have been All Aboard with it.
ReplyDeleteGood food, friendly and a discount that will be a do over for sure
Hugs Cecilia
PS I'm sorry about the job...but happy your day got better with your friend
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you didn't get the job, but you made lemonade out of the lemons with your outing with your friend. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥
That's what Good Friends are for. I like how your friend wanted to give you some together time.
ReplyDeleteHope there is a far better job for you in the offing...

Sorry to hear you didn't get the job you interviewed for. But it was nice your friend and you were able to spend time together and try out a new place, it sound like fun.
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't get the job you wanted, but how nice to have a friend to have lunch with.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you did not get the job you were hoping for - is this the loan one? How nice a friend knew you needed a friend and was there for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the job, but what a great friend and friendly diner.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you didn't get the job but it's their loss. Glad you got out and met up with your friend. A change of scenery is always a good thing and it just means a better job is around the corner.
ReplyDeleteHope the day out helped. Sorry you didn't get that job. Glad you and your friend hit a new place. And a discount to boot. Hot dog. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteAt least being a senior is good for something. Some of the places that don't look like much serves the best food!
