Surreal Sunday...

Nothing too exciting happened over the weekend. Went shopping Friday night…got nothing. Saturday was spent cleaning and studying. Sunday was work at the store, football, studying, and our uncle from Pakiland coming over. He's here for two months scouting out business opportunites in the U.S.

Working at the store Sunday was such a surreal experience. For some reason, I was attuned to all my pet peaves, all at once. Even little nuances that don't usually bother me annoyed the hell outta me. I don't know what it was. I'm usually a little peaved when I say 'Good Morning' to someone or 'Hi' and they can't offer the courtesy to return a response. But I was visibly getting angry. Uncle asked if I wanted to take my break a little early, I guess to cool off. I probably should have. People making a mess at the coffee counter and not cleaning it up; Kids spilling the Slurpy crap everywhere over the counter; Evangelicals trying to convert the world (but they were nice about it); Idiot customers trying to return an open bottle of snapple (which, to my annoyance, was closed…so much for justifying my mood); People buying a million and one lottery tickets; Douche bags that get mad when they have to stand at the end of the line…the list goes on…

I thought football would help, but alas, the Bengals lost to the Steelers at home…grrrr. Redskins had a good day though. 52-17 final score against the 49ers. Not bad. LT had a bad day, the Vikings won, Denver lost, the Texans tied Indy at the half (then got thrashed)…such a surreal Sunday.
