How does that work?
****First off, this picture has nothing to do with my post. I'm just running out of pics!****
When you are having a bad day, does it just seem like everything is going wrong? or is everything really just going wrong? When you are having an absolutely fan-tah-bu-lous day, is it b/c things aren't going wrong, or because you just don't notice them. Interesting......I think it's because nothing is going wrong, not that you have your head in the cloud and just don't notice.
Point in question. Today. Not so good. And it ended with leaving work after dark only to find myself almost running out of gas, having to stop at the gas station, where I sit and wait behind a guy filling up his gas guzzler for what seemed like forever, but I think is was about 10/15 minutes. He finishes pumping....I let out a sigh of relief.....and he walks inside. My eyes looked at him and scream...WAAAAAAAAAAIT!!! COME BACK!!!! After he didn't come back for about another 5 minutes or so...I contemplated going to the next pump (which was available) or calling the cops to report him missing. I did neither. Maybe I enjoyed the frustration.....and flashing mean looks at his wife in their rearview mirror. hehe.
PHEW!!!! Yesssssssssssssss!!! It's my turn, it's my turn....I shoot a glance to the guy next to me that says....Uh huh, I'm next! :) I slide my debit card in......fast.....nothing. I think to myself....hmmm, maybe it's suppose to be slow. I do it again, but only this time....much much slower. BLINK! BLINK! BLINK! PLEASE PAY INSIDE! (You have to be kidding me). I decided to get some beer since I was inside anyways. Then I stood in line for another 5 minutes. Maybe longer. The guy in front of me.....was buying powerball tickets, that he filled out himself. Gas station attendant ran each of them through, then told the guy that the machine wasn't reading his winning numbers. OF COURSE THEY AREN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He sits there dumbfounded....making her explain again that the COMPUTERS AREN'T READING THEM!!!! They must have gone at this for atleast 60 seconds, and that's a long time when you are waiting. He asks what he can do to fix it.....she says, "Fill another one out". And he asks, where? Hmmmmm, dude, maybe the exact same place you filled the other TEN out. Sheeeeeeeeesh!!!!
He pulls out his credit card to pay in advance......HIS CREDIT CARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cash people....cash...nothing new. Cash only.
The gas station attendant said, "I'm so sorry for your wait, ma'am", and I said...."Oh, it's fine!!!" haha! She knew though.....she definitely knew.
I pull up to the house with 2 girl scouts waiting at my doorstep to collect money. Here is your $14 for the 4 boxes of Samoa's that I bought......4 boxes? Are you sure? I pay them and then try to juggle the 4 boxes, the beer I had already opened and was enjoying, my purse dangling from my arm......and the plastic bag that is holding my 6-pack. The handle breaks......that's right. I swoop down to cradle the beer!!! (I have ninja skills)
I then decided to call it a night from all this nonsense.
Hehehehehehehehehehehehhehehehehe......................what an afternoon!!!!!
