Closing Time...

So I left work later than usual tonight, and had juuust enough time to hit the liquor store before it closed. At 6 pm.

6 PM!

Oh sure, there's a bigger liquor store 'in town' that stays open till 10 pm. But I work just outside of 'in town', so the closest liquor closes at 6 pm.  Part of living in a small town.

Sooo...I get there and it's like, 5:59. Oopsie. I look at the girl all apologetically. It didn't help.

Me: Sorry! So sorry!
Her: S'ok.
Me: I'll be quick! Promise!
Her: S'ok.

This is when I get to the cash and CAN'T FIND MY MONEY.

Double oopsie.

Me: Oh my goodness....I know it's here somewhere.
Her: Uh-huh.
Me: Shoot...I know it's here somewhere...just a minute...
Her: Mm-hmm.

At this point I am so worked up I don't know whether to wind my butt or scratch my watch (name that movie!). So I dump the entire contents of my purse on the counter. If you know my purse, you know this was not good.

Me: It's here somewhere - maybe I'll just pay with debit...
Her: (silence, but I can feel her eye-roll. This doesn't help my neurotic state of mind)
Me: Hehe...do you take Library Cards? Hehe...
Her: Mm-hmm
Me: That was a joke, by the way.
Her: Yep.
Me: Oh! Here is it! Keep the change!

Hey, it was only 5 cents, but still.

So I walk out of the liquor store, and there are these two guys having a smoke outside a bar. I only caught a part of their conversation, but it went something like this:

First guy: ...and then he like, totally dissed my family, man, so I like, gave him one of THESE to the back of the head...
Other guy: Hehehe...
First guy: Yeah, like, DOOF DOOF DOOF, you know?
Other guy: Hehehe...
First guy: ...yeah, so he won't be talking f*cking shit about my family no more...
Other guy: (silence)
First guy: You know?
Other guy: Hehehe...

Just another day at the office.
