Boring productive day. Coffee tale #3
This song is making me happy today. Thank you Spotify.
Didn’t have much to do today and everyone’s at work or occupied otherwise so I did things for myself all day. Waking up at 5am sucks when you don’t have plans for the day. So I played around on the internet, made coffee and a smoothie for breakfast and left Doctor Who on in the background. Pretty much lazy until the sun came out and a little while after. I did my work out and pulled weeds. I have no clue what they’re called but some of the flowers we planted early spring grow straight up and they all flopped over…So I went and bought sticks to prop the plants up and a new sprinkler. The sprinkler we had just stayed in one place…I walked around the yard fanning it around, getting some sun until the third couple walked by and I felt like I was being laughed at. The dude who rang me up at Home Depot looked a little creepy…not quite serial killer creepy but leaning that way. He did that tuck his chin in and look up at you thing even though he was probably an inch or so taller than me. I’m 6 even so I don’t imagine he has to chance to do that to many people. He was nice, talkative too but…creepy fuckin look on his face.
So I went home and realized I needed ties for the plants and I don’t think a zip tie or fishing line is good for a plant for some reason. I don’t know why I think that that would hurt it other than I came up with it and I don’t trust myself most the time with plant things. I like the gardening stuff. You get tan, listen to music, it’s satisfying after you’re done but I do not know what’s best for a plant…so I’m going to get some light twine tomorrow after work. Speaking of work I need to talk to my boss about not drinking after work. He’s a very gung ho guy but the break up is still fresh in my head and when I drink it brings it right back up. No thank you. That and he drinks a LOT whenever we go out. He’s retired and he can do what he wants of course but I feel like he’s one of those people that just needs a person to drink with then he has an excuse to keep going. I have nothing against a drink after work but don’t go that far or get a ride.
That’s how bored I am…recapping my day and finally watching the David Tennant seasons of Doctor who. I think I’m going to do another workout…at least I’ll feel like I’ve done something worthwhile. I’ll give you another coffee tale though. I imagine a really happy English Narrator reading this…or Morgan Freeman.
At the wonderfully crappy Auburn Supermall where the green goo underneath the dumpsters melts during summer-stinking up the parking lot and freezes into gak you can stand a stick up in during winter, a creepy man named Brian liked to get his coffee. A pretty girl who probably tanned to much named Jessica was still a bit naive in her ways and accepted the attention with a flirty smile. She was even happy to let him take a picture or two of her. Well Brian sure did feel confident after he got a picture of a pretty girl who feigned interest out of vanity and decided that it would be just brilliant to photo shop her face onto pornography. He even thought he’d done such a good job that he’d show it to Jessica because she was just so beautiful. What he didn’t realize was that Jessica was only sweet on the surface. In fact Jessica was quite crude. In fact she once stepped out of her co-workers car (mine) when they had got drinks and went for fast food and peed in the drive through. Brian did not expect the reaction to be hysterical panicked laughter and a very loud, "FUCKIN CREEPO! YOU THINK YOU COULD HIT THIS!?!" Now Tyler the supervisor was happily counting out tills in the back and wasn’t expecting to need to have someone banned from the mall when he was about to go home, especially since he had warned her that Nicole (fellow co-worker who I told that Jess was flirting with BEFORE the initial picture) had seen that guy dressed as a clown and handing out balloons to kids off of Aurora in Seattle. So I call the cops and he gets banned. The pictures were deleted before the cops got their though but he left the original pictures of her which was enough to creep Big Ron out (really nice guy).
Months go by and Brian thinks that no one will remember him so he comes back to the cafe and once again I’m in back when it happens. The girls out front were to scared to say anything (rightfully so, they are rather timid people) so I tell him he has to leave and I show him the piece of paper saying so. He plays dumb so I call the Rons over again and to Rhiannons delight they take away his coffee and arrest him. Funny side note to this. He has the same last name as me. My last name isn’t THAT uncommon but I’ve never met anyone but that man with the same last name.
Well, creepo story complete. Until next time on, Coffee Tales. Workout, commence.
