So, today at work (seems like so many of my articles start with that phrase) I got to rake the ditch. Those of you who have winters know how much garbage piles up in the snow over the season. Then, come Spring, the snow melts and 6 months worth of dirt and cigarette butts and Subway cups sifts to ground, where some unlucky shlub has to rake it up. Actually, I didn't mind it at all...it sorta broke up the monotony of the daily job, plus I got to work outside on a fairly nice day.
I found an empty package of ear plugs and sure enough, a few feet away, two earplugs, used. I don't know if the person only used them for two seconds, or if they deliberately threw them in the same spot when they were through with them. Oh! Maybe the perpetrator put the used ones in the box and then threw the WHOLE SHEBANG out the window. Of course, there's the possibility that the box and the plugs are completely unrelated, but that's not much fun to think about is it?
The most puzzling thing I found was an old chicken foot. I assume it was a chicken's foot, it may have been a hawk or a crow or something that died and then got eaten by some other animals, but as we're in the middle of town I didn't even want to know how it got there. I refused to think about it.
We have two new girls at work. They're both cute, and both young. Abby, who is 16, is a real sweetheart, and I've sorta takin a shining to her. I call her Rabbit, like in Super Troopers, because she's the "rookie". She's never seen the movie, so she doesn't understand the humor, but it cracks me up and hey, that's what really counts, right? I think I'm going to call Tera (who is the other newbie) Flounder, like in Animal House, but NO ONE who works there will understand that one. They're either too old, too young, or not cool enough to have seen that movie. Whatever.
I've been cutting my carb intake to lose a few pounds. I'm not COMPLETELY eliminating them, ala Atkins, but I figured it can't hurt to knock em back. The only thing I've noticed so far, on day 3, is that I'm tired. The quick energy of carbs is something I guess you don't miss until it's gone.
Anyway, that's all for my random thoughts today. Oh, wait, one more. I hate giant skeleton ghost birds. Like on Ninja Gaiden.
Peace.
