If you work for a living why do you kill yourself working?

Dear Blog,

Today was great! Absolutely wonderful! Weather-wise that is. Other than that it was hectic and filled with oddities and drunks. First I had to be at work early which means getting up early. I didn't really mind any of that, because my being there early was helping someone out. Call me corny, but it feels good to help people out. Anyway, on my way to work I had to drop off two flicks at the post office for Netflix. Upon reaching the square I was delayed by a huge parade of lawn mowers. That's right, lawn mowers. I had to turn around, and drive around the square. There were lawn mowers, golf carts, and motorcycles everywhere. This one fat guy on his mower had to have been doing 35-40 mile/hour laps around the square. Only in small towns. Later on, I found out it was the LAWN MOWER 3000, a 4-bar poker run that you're supposed to use lawn mowers during. So all the mowers were drunk! WTF?

This meant lots of drunks showing up at work. Fucking drunks. Oh, I also made a new friend today. I call him Copper Top. He bought a 4 pack of Eveready AA batteries for $2.99 because the Energrizers were $4.99. He then returned about 20 minutes later with the open package and informed me that the batteries were "no good" because his camera wouldn't work. He placed the open package on the counter in front of me and asked for the Energizers. I suspected he expected a refund, because he kept glancing down at the batteries, and pushing them towards me. I picked up the open package, and told him, "I'm sorry, sir I can't refund this." "Well, why not?!" "Because it's open. However, if you look at the back of the package Eveready says they will refund any broken batteries if you just mail it to them." Then he got all huffy and puffy and started spurting out, "fucking bullshit, bullshit," as he flung the money for the Energizers just out of my reach so I would have to lean to get it. Then I smiled and said, "Have a nice evening, sir." I miss Copper Top. *tear*

Now I'm watching The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, my favorite movie of all time. It makes me smile.
