B & N trip.
Car Wash.
Forgot a bag of ice at grocery store (ice machine can't keep up with our daily dietary intake of ice) and was already driving before I realized that, so I stopped at gas station to get ice.
I walk to the counter. I have a mask on. She has a mask on. There's this plexiglass shield between us. Which translates to: I can't hear shit.
I tell her I want a bag of ice. She said something back to me that sounded very much like, "Do you want fresh?" I look at her and said, "Hell yes I want fresh ice. I don't want that old crap ice you guys are trying to sell." She laughed so hard. And she said without missing a beat, "well, today we will sell you fresh ice, but tomorrow? Not sure about that." I say back, "I will come purchase my fresh ice when you aren't working. The other workers won't know I got my allotment of fresh ice for the week."
Then she said, "Do you want crushed ice" which was her original question.
I then tell her, "no, I want fresh, cubed iced."
We both are laughing, playing along and then I apologize to her and she said, "No, don't apologize, this has been great." So, my little contribution to happy out there in the world.
If this story teaches you anything, it should be, PLEASE SPEAK UP BEHIND YOUR MASK.
Thanks.
Faaaarrrrrrrr******k. Sometimes I just wish I could astral travel. 😄
We should do distance coffee, or tea, or Dr. Pepper. Still haven't had one of those.
I'm an incentive girl. always have been. No matter what the situation. After an initial rundown on the job, or just helping someone do something -- I look around and see what needs done and do it.
Oh, and I'm not that guy who messes things up by taking the incentive. If a question needs asked about the task, I ask before I go and maybe mess up the method to someone's madness.
I have never ever been able to teach that to my husband or youngest son. That gene is just not in their body to look around and help without being told, without having to be asked. Which they then turn that into, "She was nagging me." No I wasn't. You were actively being obtuse and lazy. If I have to say it more than once, it's on you. If I have to ask you to do something obvious, or tell you what to do, well, that's just on you. Accept the responsibiity for your character failures chump.
My next life, I'm going to hand pick my family better.
Did you know that there are about 5 bazillion different types of drumsticks? You probably did. I did not. Imagine me standing there looking at a wall of drumsticks trying to tell this musician why I want drumsticks. I lied. I just said I was buying them as a gift. I don't think me beating around on all available surfaces like a BOSS -- LIKE. A. BOSS. -- qualifies me to know exactly what sticks are best for me. But, these are shorter, lighter and have a nylon tip. And I'm going to smell like teen spirit all over this place.
ewww. That could mean all sorts of musky things, but I'm going to go with AXE body spray smell. That's still ewww, but a more respectable ewwwww.
