So I was at work yesterday, and who do I see? my old neighbor Nathan F. (the one that used to throw rocks at me when I'd get off the bus). I went to clean off his table and when I leaned over he says "Aren't you my neighbor?" Until that point, I didn't even recognize him. His face is all gaunt and well he used to be pretty attractive a few years ago, you would never know it now. He looks like a bum, and I couldn't get over it. I used to wish when I was younger that I would grow up and get my revenge someday for how horrible he made my elementary years, but now that I have, it doesn't feel as sweet as I once pictured it would be.
Then this 35ish year old man came in and tried to convince me to sit down with him and eat. Weird. Then when he was leaving he was throwing out his mint rapper by lobbing it over the cashier desk into my trash. Flattly I said "Score". He looks up chuckles and says "not lately", shakes his head and walks away. Some of the people we get are so bizarre.
Last night I was in such a good mood, just thinking about stuff and I busted out the "I feel good" song with some sweet moves to go with it. Then Nancy and I in the back sang "I'm gonna make you love me" by the Supremes. Once in awhile I get these moments when for a few minutes it seems as if everything is right with the world and you sort of feel this sense of peace and serenity. This was one of those moments and I will truly cherish that memory forever. I will miss some of my coworkers soooo much.
