Invisible Girl Strikes Again

I've written before about how I am totally invisible to people. Many of you have been kind enough to email me and let me know I am NOT invisible. But no one lives my life and sees the things that happen to me to know what I am truly talking about.

Well, it happened again this weekend.

I was out all weekend with my BFFE, Charlene. Saturday night we stopped at Central Market (swanky grocery store) to pick up cheesecake from the bakery after we finished super. Some how, we had managed to not have desert once in all the meals we'd eaten out during our weekend. That is not acceptable, so after finishing dinner up we stopped for desert to take back to the hotel with us for later.

Charlene and I both stood at the counter looking over the very same cheesecake. We patiently waited our turn and the clerk asked what Charlene wanted. He boxed up what she ordered and handed it over. Then as I started to give him my order, he looked right over me and to a guy that walked up several minutes after we did and asked for his order. To make matters worse, another clerk went over to help the same guy. So "our" guy was just standing there listening in. After all there was no one to wait on, right?

Truly, this shit happens to me ALL THE TIME. I was about to call out to him, when Charlene says, "Excuse me, but she was next." And might I say, she was showing a small bit of attitude too. You go girl!

He immediately apologized. But I swear, he looked at me like I had appeared out of no where. As we were waiting for him to box up my order, Charlene turned to me with a look of awe on her face. "You really are invisible."

Yes. That is what I've been trying to tell you people. I am an invisible girl, living in an invisible world. No one sees me. No one sees my life, my world.

I have a cape I wear to celebrate my super power, but it's invisible too.
