measuring the growth
Sep. 14th, 2022 04:29 pmToday has been...um...unique. Not sure of what to make of it.
1) On the way home from dropping Erica at The Fresh Markup I was greeted with one of the worst sounds known to mankind....the 'beeeeep' of the car warning system. Low Tire Pressure. The sensors on the front tires are broken so I knew it was the back mofo's. Got home, looked and indeed, driver side rear looks suspect. Went in, changed into my Park uniform was promptly off to Murray's Tire Service. My man Jesus checks the tires out and tells me all 4 tires are at 27 PSI. They have all lost air at the same rate. Me not get it. He explains nothing is actually leaking and I should be happy. Me not get it. Slowly, he explains that all 4 tires were prolly on the low end of acceptable pressure but over night it got a little chilly. Me dumb. Me not get it. Air expands in the heat, decreases in the cold. Ah. Me got it! He inflates all 4 tires to 2 pounds too much, just in case. I slip a $10 and roll out.
2) a little hungry so I decide to grab a MacMuffin at the MacDonalds. As I walk in a guy comes up towards me. I know what he wants. Money. "Hey man. I don't mean to bother you but I have not eaten in a couple days. Can you buy me some food?" Of course I can and I will. Some of the people asking for money are sometimes a little shady but I feel like if you are straight up asking for food you're prolly legit. Last Thursday I bought a rotisserie chicken for a guy outside Erica's store. He was obviously hungry and not asking for $$$. How can I, having money in my pocket, not help out a hungry person? I give the guy his food and he gives me the bro hug. As I walk away he says to me "you're alright for a white guy.' I can not ask for a greater compliment than that.
3) Da Park's maintenance crew makes an unscheduled/unannounced visit and open up some water lines. Long story short.....the welcome center ends up with 4" of water in it. Do'h!
4) In the course of a 5 shift at the carousel, NY Joe and I saw 9 very pregnant women. 9! Compared to our usual amount....NONE!
5) The first one was really pregnant. Like super pregnant. Like 11 months pregnant. She came back for a 2nd ride as our shift was ending. She hopped off and strolled past Joe and I as we held the doors open. She was holding the underside of her stomach and let loose a fart of biblical proportions. It was accompanied by the sort of odor that could induce the Bubonic Plague. Ungodly. She waddled over to a bench, sat down and let Chapter 2 out (even though she was 20 feet from us, Joe and I heard it quite clearly). She moaned loudly and said "oh, no!". But by then Anna and Deaija were there to begin their time so I took my end-of-shift ride. When I left to go home, El Preginator was gone.
6) Picked Erica up and came home. Was feeling a little hungry so I decided to whip a quick bowl of ramen (chili for the win!) When I opened the package there were 2 flavor packets in it.
I am now going into the bedroom and hiding until tomorrow. Just to be safe.
