Last Workday Before Visiting Scoot

Alright, so today rocked. I woke up a little early before work so I kind of took my time getting ready and stuff. I felt extremely mellow. Then I go to work and when I get there everybody is running around trying to get things done and a couple of them are grumpy from all the craziness. I was on dishes and I only had to work three hours anyway so my mood got better. Then I go in back and I see Sandii (yes two i's...she's wierd), she always brings in little things for people to snack on whenever she works. Today she brought in some hershey's miniature candybars and some cadbury's heart-shaped chocolates with carmel in the center. Oh yeah, things are getting better. I go out and grab me up a cup of drink to wash down all the junk food I'd inevitably eat. I notice there weren't many dishes to do, and everybody seemed fairly set on the dishes they had available so here I am taking my sweet ol' time. People were running around me trying to get things done and here I am munchin' on stuff and drinking drink with an enormous satisfied grin on my face. Just as I was thinking about getting some dishes washed one of the managers-in-training came back and said "Hey Josh, (that's my real name) we may need you to do something for us in a bit." "Okay, that's cool." I walk out front to see what they needed to be washed first and then the manager said "We need you to go to Meijer's for some Ceasar dressing because we are totally out and won't get anymore until tomorrow." "HECK YEAH!!" So I head over to get the dressing and on my way there I see the Oscar Meyer Weiner-mobile in a parking lot!!!! WOOOHOOOO, I was so excited. Unfortunatly I left my cell phone at home otherwise I'd go make the driver take pictures of me.....you know....standing next to it with my chest puffed out, in the drivers' seat, taking a bite out of it.....But no cell phone, but I didn't let that ruin my excitement. I've only seen it one other time, January 16th 1998 on Rt.4 on my way to the dentist. Even the second time I saw it I screamed like a little girl at a New Kids On The Block concert. So anyway, I make my way to Meijer's and I go in and get distracted.....yep I made it as far as the fish tanks. Wiggling my finger like I'm tickling them "Hey feeshie feeshie." Giant hot dogs, feeshies....distractions everywhere. Then I remembered I was there for a purpose. Hmm...but what was I there to get? Oh yeah, dressing. So I go to the produce section and walk around aimlessly as guys normally do in grocery stores. I had to stop and ask for directions. Then I found the dressing and realized I forgot a basket, so I had to go all the way back to the front, then all the way back and grab it all. I got back in the car and realized I was gone for almost 40 minutes so I started back. Yes, I could have gone back to work "the quick way" but then I wouldn't be able to see the Oscar Meyer Weiner-mobile again. I didn't even get yelled at when I got back, it was awesome. I spent 2 whole hours washing dishes and snacking on Mr Goodbars....mmmmm. Today was a really fun day.
