So, today (Thursday) was very long. Work, parent-teacher conferences, and then a meeting. Nothing exciting. Instead, I will tell you about something that is also not very exciting, but certainly very annoying.
Wednesday I went to McDonald’s to pick up some food and sat at the pick-up window for somewhere between 5-10 minutes. It was long enough that I thought a couple of times about turning off the engine, then finally turned off the engine, then sat there thinking I should have turned off the engine much, much sooner. Finally, as the young employee apologized for the wait, she brightly said, “But the Filet-O-Fish is hot!” Then the guy behind me honked. Pipe down, honker. I’m getting hot fish here.
I zipped home as quickly as possible…..only to be stopped at the railroad tracks as the locomotive passed by. DANG IT. This is the sloooooooooooooooooow moving 6:00 train that must be avoided at all costs. It takes….. an eternity to pass by. Long enough for me to take a picture of the new Dollar Store, which I will never enter out of spite. (Long story)
And also our gravel/brick/concrete block ‘store’. I have been there. No spite involved.
The whole while, my fish and fries cooled to truck temperature.
Dang. Dang. Dang.
