Black Bean Couscous

I bet you are wondering what the heck this blog can be about with a name like that...well, the blog has nothing to do with the title, I just needed something different. Anywho...
*I went shopping last night for a few things and stopped at Sears to get a new pair of tennis shoes since it is starting to get cold and my tootsies don't like the cold when I wear my flip-flops. I found a pair that I LOVED. There were 2 employees standing less than 5 feet away however they managed to completely ignore me. So, since I have "midget feet" or so some call them...and I wear a size 7, I just tried on the display shoe. Sure enough it fit like cinderella's slipper. Finally, one of the employees came over and asked if I needed anything.
N: Yeah, I want these in size 7.
DA (dumbass): Ok *Goes to back room for a couple minutes, then other employee heads back that way. Comes out with shoe I gave him from display.*
DA: We only have one pair left.
N: Ok, I want them.
DA: *Starts to take shoe out of box*
N: I don't need to try them on, I already did while you were over there talking and not paying attention to your customers.
DA: Oh.
*Go to cash register...my favorite part of the story*
DA: *rings up my shoes* Total is $51.35.
N: *hand him 3-$20's and 2-$1's...$62*
DA: *Dumbfounded stupid ass blank confused look on his face*
N: I gave you $62 right?
DA: Yeah but it is only $51.35
N: Yeah I understand but I gave you that much b/c then I will get a $10 and some change back instead of $1's.
DA: Oh, so that is the way you wanted it then.
* Honestly...don't you learn to count change at age 8...does that mean that he didn't pass like 3rd grade. Ugh, use your f***ing brain stupid*

*This morning on the radio they were having a discussion about high school students smoking during school outside. One lady called in on her 'smoke break' and said that she thought students should be able to smoke outside during school b/c there was nothing wrong with it and they weren't hurting anyone. Now, I don't care what students do on their own time, before school, after school, or during lunch but I am not OK with my tax $'s paying for the teachers and students wasting their time by doing something else...no matter what it is. Anyway, that isn't the point of this part. The lady continued to say that smoking wasn't bad for you...it causes cancer but whatever. She followed that by saying students should be allowed 15 minute breaks during school to smoke b/c it calms them and helps them concentrate JUST LIKE A HEALTHY BREAKFAST. WTF???? Calming them I can understand but HOW THE HELL can you compare smoking to a HEALTHY breakfast. There in nothing healthy about smoking...I give this woman the FUCKING STUPID QUOTE AND LOGIC OF THE YEAR. So, I don't care if you smoke, your life do what you want. Just don't waste my tax dollars and don't compare it to HEALTHY anything.

My observation

At work, we have decided that we are going to have a "stupid customer quote of the week". Here is the conversation that led up to this decision and what this weeks quote is.
N: Hi, what can I get you? (As I am putting freshly fried chicken into the hot case)
Customer: Um, what are your chicken prices?
N: (Thinking...bitch, read the damn sign it tells you) Well, I am not sure how many pieces you are wanting to purchase but we have a 12 piece on sale for $9.99.
(And here is the Quote of the Week)
C: (While staring at the fried chicken that I just placed in the hot case) So is it already fried and everything?
(Barb walks around the corner to hid so she can laugh her ass off and leave me there to help this stupid ass lady without bursting out laughing)
N: Um, yeah, it is the same chicken that I just put in the case.
C: OH WOW, what a great deal, I will take that.

I just wish people would think before they open their mouths and stupid falls out.

Now, for my observation of the day. As I pulled up to a stop light on Havelock and Cornhusker hwy, I noticed that the SUV in front of me have a Busch light can balanced perfectly on the bumper underneith the right tail light. Now for some reason my easily distracted brain became obsessed with this and luckily, the SUV was going the same direction as I was. I wondered to myself how long this can would stay there. I began to follow the SUV in the right lane while it was in the left, but since the car in front of me was going to slow and I feared losing the SUV I moved to the other lane and sped up. Here is what I observed.
1. The can stayed on for 30 city blocks (probably more, but SUV turned and I lost it)
2. The can stayed on for 6 large potholes.
3. The can stayed on at an average of pry 45mph.
4. The can stayed on for 5 stops at stop lights, 2 being quite abrupt.
5. The can stayed on for 2 lane changes at 45mph.
6. The can stayed on for a 90 degree turn at 30-35mph.
This was quite a can, I wonder if they drank whatever was left when they got to their destination.
Also, if the SUV would have gotten pulled over, would the driver had been charged with open container? HMMM, who knows.

Song of the day is a drinking song, not b/c I want to drink or b/c I am/have drank today, just b/c of that damn beer can.
