Random Notes From Today

I left my car at the mechanic this morning and I’m hoping they don’t have to go into the glove compartment. I just remembered that I left a postcard in there from a David Sedaris concert that reads: “Abortions $3.00”.

Went for a walk at lunchtime. Somehow ended up at MacDonald’s, where I ended up buying a McRib to go. Part of me thinks I should feel guilty about this. The other part of me thinks the first part of me should mind it’s own business.

While I was waiting for the "chef" to prepare my food, I noticed the sign on the counter that said “Open Thanksgiving Day!”. Not sure what to make of this. Do people get excited about this? Does this change anyone’s plans?

On the way back, I pass the gas station where I filled up this morning and see that gas has since dropped by ten cents a gallon. Once again, my timing is impeccable. While this amounts to less than two dollars, I feel bitter and resentful, and I expect to be feeling that way for quite some time... at least if I play it right.

Talked to someone named “Lois” in Customer Service today. Either “Lois” has been at her dead-end job way too long, or “Lois” is going through a bitter divorce.

Its getting close to bedtime and I’m still tasting that McRib. I knew I made the right choice.
