Grocery Store Life

This wasn't too exciting, more of something sorta funny. I was with my buddy at Zehres yesterday and he was being the absolute worst for deciding what he wanted to eat I just grabbed a sandwich but it took us 20 minutes to find him snacks. We were down in the health food aisle when I saw rice crisps... Imagine my surprise when he said he didn't like rice crisps! I was flabbergasted and needed to know, who was the weirdo... him or me! I quickly stopped a random lady shopping beside me and asked her what she thought of rice crisp. She was definitely taken aback but finally she sided with me. We started talking about our favorite flavors of rice crisp, I personally enjoy the regular ones, she was a salt and vinegar fan... Gah. Maybe for chips, but not rice crisps! She then asked me why I was even asking about such a random topic and I let her know that it was because my friend hated rice crisps and was an odd duckling for sure! She chuckled and told me not to stress about it as it was, "His loss." By this time I had lost my friend and had to bid this lady adieu, and I left to go find my buddy. It was an over all weird... I can safetly say this was the first ever in depth conversation I've had about rice crisps.

Day = Made

I left school early because my face was hurting like hell. I was hungry when I got home and figured I could go grab some chili at Timmies. When I got my food I sat down at the table beside an elderly lady's. After starting to eat my food she got up to leave, imagine my surprise when she said hello. She asked me how my chili was, I was a little taken aback at first. True to form though I replied, telling her I liked it and that I'd noticed she had gotten soup. She started talking about how the only item she really likes here is the cream of broccoli soup. But it didn't stop there, enthusiastically she started talking about how she makes great cream of broccoli soup, but also has another recipe she specializes in. She doesn't make the cream of broccoli soup often though because she lives alone and she can't freeze it. So instead she'll make a soup recipe she found in a tv guide that she can freeze... And yes the recipe was found in a tv guide, it was from "Everybody Hates Raymond", the tv show.

That was the bulk of it, she left after that and wished me a good day. I felt amazing! Because I now know other people are similar to me, eccentric and willing to say "what up". She made my day, and she was a straight badass. Thank you!

I haven't been able to smoke all day...

but I still cheated, only once though. I did it right after getting my wisdom teeth out, instantly I regretted it and knew I couldn't risk dry sockets. It hit me then and there that I should take the dental hygienist's advice to stay hydrated... And let me tell you that was absolutely no problem. 

The story just needed some background, but seriously I'll get onto it; All day I've felt awful, first knowing I was about to get four teeth pulled, then eventually having them pulled. And the day just got worse and worse until just about an hour ago at 7/11. It was nice having an employee there successfully turn my day around today. I was involved in a lucky streak with the lotto tickets today, ever since turning 18 it's been a terrible downwards spiral (imagine absolutely no sarcasm), yet somehow I manged to turn it around today. Sauntering into a certain 7/11 which will remain anonymous because I believe this incredible employee was... overtired? Is it not clear what I mean? Forget about that (however keep in mind I was following the dental hygienist's orders to stay hydrated.) Anyways, I sauntered into the place ready to claim my price from the government and get a taquito and all I wanted was the most spicy, crunchy, piping hot taquito in store, but instead I actually had to ask for the softest taquito. To make things worse the employee had these bad ass dreads that made me long for when I had my "flowing locks" and this guy also had some really droopy eyes. Bottom line is he seemed very cool... and he gave me a good suggestion, the jalapeno cream taquito. Apparently this was the only taquito at 7/11 that didn't have anything more difficult to chew through than the outer-shell. It also pleased one of my three vices in the taquito domain. I'm also about 99% sure he gave me and extra seven dollars. I recall walking into the place with $18 worst of tickets and intently watching this man swipe my lotto tickets to a grand total of $18. But I'm not angry that I walked out with an extra seven dollars. But maybe I didn't I wouldn't want to get this guy in trouble, maybe I'm just not remembering the story correctly right?

 

P.S I know it may seem as if all these posts are about harassing people at work, but I try to be kind, and in this cold weather it's hard to find anyone to give you the time of day at all. I intend on persevering though, I try not to let myself stress out about that kind of stuff. If your a half glass full kind of person, then you must understand why I know someone soon will drop some truly gnarly knowledge. Thankfully I was given some good advice from the dental office for today, I don't know how else I would have made it. Adios mis amigos though!

I'm drowning!

You know those days when everything goes right? When everything just falls into place and things look great. I do, and today has not been one of those days so far. I went and had my wisdom teeth pulled today, all four of them. Being the "macho" man that I am I just decided no need to knock me out, just give me some local anesthetic and I'll be fine. Yes I am fine, don't worry about me, well really you should, because I sound like a fool. And I'm pretty sure this is what the lady at shoppers thought too. My birthday was just last month and this enables me to get my own prescriptions. So thinking I was an ace I decided to quickly stop by shoppers and grab my painkillers. By god did I sound absolutely foolish, slurring my words, face all swollen, gauze in my mouth, and worst of all I didn't even have everything I needed to get my meds. Turns out that when your under your parents healthcare you need some sort of card of theirs that gives the insurance number. Well I didn't know this until after I'd already asked for the painkillers. The lady couldn't stop laughing at me because every word that I spoke sounded absolutely ridiculous. After nearly ten minutes of small talk, mostly her sharing her epic tale of when she had her wisdom teeth removed, we finally thought of a solution. She told me that if I could remember my normal pharmacy then she might be able to call them and get my insurance number. This prompted me to start blabbering off all the possible pharmacies that it could have been. Sure enough after finding the right pharmacy it turns out this lady knew the owner and I could have just said, "Tom runs it, yo." By now what I expected to be a three minute ordeal has turned into over 15 minutes of madness and this whole time my mouth has been full of gauze. All I could think were the dentists words, "In 20 minutes you are gonna want to change that gauze." I was trying to contain myself, but I was literally drooling while standing around waiting for this medication. All in all it was an ordeal that I don't want to repeat, being laughed at while I drowned in my own blood was far from fun. Although the lady was quite pleasant while laughing at me, I just really wanted to go home, pop a painkiller and pass the heck out.

Sorry though, really

The amount of blogs that I have been pushing out is unquestionably appalling. I've been slacking, and for this I apologize. I will make it somewhat quick and painless though. The whole reason this blog is amusing and worth continuing with is because everything that I write about will be entirely true. And over the past few days I've either been working or sleeping. This being said, I will get caught up, I will make it my priority to meet more people this upcoming week and fill the quota for my lovely followers, but I refuse to risk the integrity of my blog by posting falsified information! 

Any fool with half a brain can come up with a funny story... The real fun begins when its real. Just something to think about
