random assortment of thoughts

I just got home from my weekly closing shift, and I'm pretty super excited because we close at 11 on weeknights now so I don't have to be there till 12:30 closing shop. But basically I decided instead of writing about something specific, I would just write about some random things today. Like this man that came through my line and was totally awkward. So it was pretty busy and from time to time I will get going pretty fast and forget to ask how the person is doing. This guy had one item and I quickly scanned it and checked him out etc etc. He took his time leaving though, and I started to check the next guy out and asked him how he was, and the man that I had just finished with somewhat indignantly said "Well you didn't ask me how I was doing." I didn't really know how to respond to that, it really caught me off guard. I just looked at him for a second and then asked "How are you doing today sir?" he laughed and said something then left, while my coworkers and all I laughed at how weird the encounter was. I mean, really. What a weird thing to do. I felt kinda bad too. So not only was he awkward, he made me feel bad. Who does this guy think he is? haha and he wasn't even some college student. College boys are usually pretty strange so I'm used to the weird things they do. But this guy was an adult, so it totally threw me off. Also I would like to comment that I was surprised by the high use of the little rubber dividing stick today. I was pretty proud of peoples' smart decisions to divide up their items as to not cause me frustration later. Another random thought; like a week or so ago I was staring out the window (one of my favorite bored-at-work pass times) and I saw the creepiest creeper van to date. It was big and dark purple, and on the window was written, "Help wanted: Reps from 13 to 19 years of age" and then a phone number. Nothin else. No logos, no business name or other descriptions of any kind. It was pretty much the best thing ever. Now I just wish that I had thought to write down the number and check it out. Oh well. I see some great things through that window. Like this lady that was probably six month pregnant jogging down the street. Seriously? I think this bothers me because I am lazy and out of shape but I mean come on, you are pregnant! This is your time to be lazy, random woman! Why are you physically exerting yourself? haha I had such a rant about it Julia told me I should chase her down and tell her. But She would probably out run me, even though she is carrying another person. Although with all my excess it could count as another person I bet. So there random pregnant woman, you may be able to beat me in a race but I don't even care. As of late one of my favorite things to watch out the window is that big bridal fair advertisement. It passes the creamery like 8 times in one shift. It cracks me up. This old man just drives it in circles around campus and Heritage in general. Where all the girls yeanin' to get married are. Good choice whoever owns that thing. Beat it into these girls' minds even more. Hopefully they'll all frantically go and get engaged pronto. That would be the ideal anyway. Alright well I'm digressing so, I'm done for the night. Until next time yous guys.
