Random

26 days of rain and counting.......

I've been hired by a painting company and am in the process of becoming "tint man". The work mostly consists of juggling color codes and product codes while running around in circles dealing with customers and is annoying at best...but it beats starvation and will hopefully be temporary.
I saw a one-eyed dog tied to a stop sign on my walk to the library. He was mostly hair and stood 1 foot tall. His puff was a rich auburn color and he managed to exude confidence while contemplating passers by.

I just ate the worst Indian food of my life.

A few nights ago I was struck by a car in a grocery store parking lot. Maybe it was more of a buffeting. An insane woman came barreling through the parking lot, jerked her sports car into a parking space I happened to be walking past and grazed me. I was so shocked I just stood there like a dunce looking at my hand (her assault had knocked the coat I was carrying from my grip). Another person said "Hey I saw that!" The woman was on her way into the store before I could react. I found her buying salmon and asked if I looked familiar. She gave me a dirty look and I began yelling at her for driving like a savage. She didn't have time for my ranting and raving and continued shopping as I said terrible things in a loud voice.

The next day while driving a truck downtown I almost killed a pedestrian because I didn't see her. She smacked the side of the truck with a closed umbrella, scratching the paint.

While delivering paint I witnessed construction workers laughing at a homeless guy who was waving his arms and shaking his legs in a kind of chicken dance and meandering dangerously close to traffic.

I can't find my favorite pair of pants.
