Odds and Ends

Today's Randomness:
So I wear a shirt/tie combo to work about 95% of the time. Well for some odd reason, for the 2nd time this week, I have been mistaken for a an employee of stores when I go during lunch. The first time was last week when Time came to do lunch with me, and we ended up at Kohls. Today's episode occured at Wal-Mart. I went there to pick up some bottled water and paper towels for the house. So I'm walking down the aisle, trying to figure out how best to save money on paper towels, when this woman comes up and says "excuse me, but I think you are out of 'Triskets'." As first I don't even realize she is talking to me; then I turn around and not so politely respond with an "I'm sorry, but I don't 'work' here." Now I know black people get chastised for thinking that certain comments are racially motivated, so I'm not going to even go there. But for a minute, the thought did cross my mind.....oh well.

So I'm sleepy today. Quite. I actually don't think that I have fully recovered from the move on Sunday. I mean like the new place, it's just that there are far too many boxes to unpack...too many things to put together....to many "to do's". So today...since there is no softball, and the NBA Finals don't start until 9pm; I'm going to go home, in t-minus 1hr and 40 mins, and fall into the sheets of my bed. I need about two good solid hours of rest, with some soft jazz music humming in the background.

Afterwards, back to work.
