Ok I haven't written in a while so here's a little sumthin' sumthin' before I go burn the 2 AM oil at CVS. And that's not a clever reference to the oil spill or anything. It's just something I've charmingly altered to suit my needs. Like my parents.
So I am just working these days and when I'm not doing that I'm sitting in my room watching netflix instant streaming straight to my wii. Isn't technology faboo? Also I bond with my cat a lot. And with Ana.
There, you're totally caught up on my life. Mazeltov.
CVS is fun I guess. Mostly everyone likes me. Especially Ms. Terri who wants to adopt me and Chris who is the token black guy with awesome shoes. They are pretty awesome shoes... Desiree doesn't like me much sometimes but that's probably just her personality. And the fact that I had 20's in my drawer. Everyone else does it though!!! It just makes sense!!!
There are a couple different categories of customers at CVS that I've noticed.
#1 The Tourists That Forgot Everything (Especially Sunscreen)
They always walk in wearing swimsuit cover ups with bright red lobster skin and get shopping carts full of bottled water, sunscreen, aloe vera gel, travel sized toiletries, and little cereal bowls. They always refuse the CVS card because "they're from a place that doesn't have any". They're usually always from Tennessee, Mississippi or Texas. All of which do have CVS's.
#2 The Fornicating Frat Guys
They buy beer, cigarettes and condoms. And they always laugh uproariously at the fact that we have jars of ping pong balls by the registers. Also they want cashback. All in ones.
#3 The Grrrl Gang
A herd of females (of any age) on their way to the beach/the outlets/the club that just have to stop to buy gum for cashback or loads of makeup, cause the three pounds on their face just isn't enough. Usually toss a gossip magazine on the pile of purchases right at the end, though if they can even read is kind of a mystery.
#4 The Obscenely Old
Just what it sounds like. Usually have a cart to temporarily function as a walker and a prescription of whatever it is that's granted them immortality in the child's seat. They like to buy weird sugar free candy and can never understand what I say when I ask if they have a CVS card.
#5 The Regulars
They almost always wear uniforms from KFC, Burger King, Waffle House, SFM Liquor or Buster's. They always get cigarettes. They never want the receipt. They all think it's weird how happy I am all the time. One of the ones from Buster's is apparently stalking me.
Anyways, I'm going to start writing soon. I have an idea for a short story that takes place in a 1930's speakeasy based on a true crime, so that'll be fun to try. The Work-in-Progress title is "Durable Joe". No one better steal it.
