so i did end up working yesterday. and i spent all my tips on asia's birthday package.
I have a question for all of you to see if anyone else has observed this: Why does hot weather make people dumber?
On average, I get some dumb people when I work the drive-thru. There's always going to be that percentage of people who just don't know what the hell is going on anyway. But somehow, the hotter it gets, this small tolerable group of people expands into a phenomenon amongst the general population. I spent five minutes today explaining to a woman that her request for "iced hot chocolate" was the same as "chocolate milk". It just drives me up the wall to have to listen to dumbshits all day long. God help me this weekend when it's supposed to be NINETY.
Anyway, that's the rant for the day. I FINALLY have a day off tomorrow...
I almost forgot to mention that I had a huge shock today to see that the monster of my childhood died. Our bigot child-abusing gym teacher dropped dead in one of his classes this week, and I literally said "Oh GOD" really loud in the cafe today when his face popped out on the obituary page. This guy used to curse in German at any child who spoke their native tongue instead of English and told my sister that at the tender age of eight that she was too fat to ever do anything. We also remember him picking a kid up by his shirt and slamming him into the wall to get a point across. I do have the memory of kicking him in the head once when he spotted me for a back-handspring, making him to always wear a helmet afterwards. Meh. It's just strange. We were all scared of him.
That is all. I have an early doctor's appt. Must go to sleep. If I can.
