A special someone

Today my time at McDonald's once again brought a smile to my face, and no, it was not Bobbling-Buddha. There I stood, taking money and orders, when a familiar voice spoke at my window. A slow smile started to spread as recognition set in. I turned and who did I see? None other than someone near and dear to the Geography department, Mr. C Taylor B. It really was a struggle to not laugh gleefully , and I admit as he drove away, a quiet phrase escaped from my lips. I know my Syrian buddy will completely understand, as well as A-rez, whom CTB was "proud of." If you listened close, you would've heard me exclaim as he drove out of sight, "That rocks!"

Micky D's

So I work at McDonald's. And not many things about the job make me happy, but I will say that every once in awhile, someone comes through the drive-thru and they have a bobble-head Buddha on their dashboard, and for some strange reason, it makes me incredibly happy and brings a smile to my face. Something about a bobbling-Buddha brings me great joy. It either shows how boring my job is, or how weird I am, or maybe a combo of both.

-Note to all McDonald's patrons--when ordering your meal, large size it BEFORE you begin. The proper ordering method is, "I want a number 4 large..." Not, "I want a number 4, without pickles and onions, with a coke. *silence* Can you make that large?" What people don't realize is that the medium and large are two separate buttons (oh the McD insight you all are gaining!) and on scenario number 2, I push the medium button, grill it and put without pickles and onions, and then add the drink. Thus, when you deicde to upsize it, I have to zero out the coke, zero out the sandwhich, which in turn zeros out the grill, and I have to push the large coke and sandwich, and grill it again. So. Now you know and you can tell your friends.

I'm done.

The thing to do

So it seemed the like the right thing to do...to start a blog of my very own. Fun times could be had. I'm not sure I like my dot background. It kinda weirds me out, and yet makes me happy at the same time. My right hand is cold, my left is not. Odd.
