Putrid Hotdogs

All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.

Chuck Palahniuk

Since Jacob finally has a new j.o.b. I have been walking to work in the mornings again.  Well it’s only been yesterday and today, but if I don’t feel like getting up at 6:30 in the morning to take him to work, then I will have to walk and take the lightrail.  Not really that big of a deal.  Unless you don’t have money for the lightrail ticket, and just when you are about to get on the train there comes a security guard asking if you have bought a ticket.  BLEH!

I was right on time for my train this morning, but because I didn’t buy the ticket before I got on the train, she made me buy the ticket first.  She’s just doing her job, but DAMN!  So while I’m scrounging around for enough change in the bottom of my purse, she goes and gets back on the next train heading back in the direction she had come from.  I debated whether or not I should just keep the change I was able to scrounge up, but then figured it would be my luck that she would hop right back on the next train heading my direction and catch me without a ticket again.  So I spent the $1.75 and bought the ticket.  (She wasn’t on the next train, but if I hadn’t bought the ticket, I’m sure that she would have been.)

Since I was forced to buy a ticket and miss the first train, I in turn ended up on the late train, which in turn caused me to be late for work.  Oh joy.  Luckily I’m always on time, so nobody cared.

While I was sitting and waiting the 15 minutes for the next train, this old man rode up on his electric cart.  He rode past me initially, but then he turned around and came back to where I was sitting.  Don’t know if I looked hungry or something because he stopped next to me and had the following conversation with me:

Old man: "The other day I bought something at the store not even thinking that I wouldn’t be able to eat it because I have no teeth.  Maybe you can use it."

Me: (just looking at him thinking ‘Oh God what is he going to try to give me?’)

He proceeds to dig through the basket on the front of his cart that is filled with plastic grocery bags filled with empty bottles.  He finally locates what he is looking for and holds out another plastic bag to me.

He tried to give me a package of hot dogs.  LMAO  Unrefridgerated hot dogs.

Me in response to his offer:  "I’m a vegetarian.  Thanks anyway though."

I’m thinking that after the way things went this morning, I may just have to drag myself out of bed so that I can have the car for work.  LOL

And with that, I leave you with my most recent and current books.

Read this yesterday.  Very easy read.  Okay book.  Not the best.

Started this today.  Thinking it will be good.

I’m on the last book of the Dark-Hunter series until Ash’s book comes out in August.  As much as I like this series, I’m glad that I’m all caught up now and will be able to read something else for awhile.  I’m looking forward to reading something different.

That’s all folks.
