| Okay, you know I work at Wal-Mart and I'm a stockman which nowadays consists of pushing carts from the parking lot into the store most of the time. Well today it rained, and hailed, and I'm sick. When I'm pushing carts in, I usually have 10 at a time, and I hate it when cars come constantly, which is why I like doing carts at night. They always get in the way. Once I get carts in, 10 people have already gone in and taken carts. Where do they leave them? In the parking spaces! Spread all over the parking lot. And also when I'm getting 10 carts but don't have 10 yet and I see another one, I leave the ones I have to go get it, and that blocks traffic. So what? They can wait, they come all the time. When I'm walking or pushing carts, I don't even stop for cars. They probably stop because they don't want to dent their car with my body and then get arrested for murder or for just hitting me. When I have some carts and they are in a parking spot, cars sit there and wait for me to move them. Just find another parking spot for crying out loud! Do you think I care if you have to park further away from the store? No. And they always pull into a place and block off carts that I could easily get otherwise. Oh yeah, and the cars that park too close to other cars. Urrr. Then I can't push the carts in the space between them. Well, if their car gets scratched, it's their fault for parking and blocking off my carts and parking too close to the other car. There is this little door for me to push the carts in that's in the middle of the enter and exit doors. Inside the store, people always walk in front of it. Why? And when I'm pushing the carts through there it makes all kinds of noise but they still walk by like they don't hear it. I almost hit a couple people, and then I said, "That's why you don't walk by when I'm pushing carts in", though I don't think they heard me. When I get an answering machine of my own, the message will say in a really sarcastic voice, "Oh good job, just call when I'm not home!" But even worse than walking by is when people stand in front of it! They always come there with their stupid carts full of stuff and put it right in front of the door. And cars stop, blocking the door a lot, waiting for someone inside. Grrrr! After I put a set of carts in and have to go back out to get some more, the people go out the door way too slow. When I'm doing something with carts and a car comes by, they always slow down or stop. They aren't even blocking the way I'm going to go. Then I go the way I was going to go which is completely different from where they are, and I think "So there, you stopped for nothing, I'm not even going that way." And people leave their carts on the way ends of the parking lot, and even in other stores' lots. And also I hate carts that always want to turn a certain way! Or if I have like 10 carts and I have to turn them and the end one comes away from the others and rolls off somewhere, usually toward a car. Well, if it hits one, it's their fault for parking where the ground slopes. And why does the ground slope down from the store? That means I have to push the carts slightly uphill from the parking lot to the store. I also hate when car's' alarms suddenly go off, for no freakin' reason! Makes me wanna go over and kick the stupid thing. Guess I was just irritable today, plus I'm sick. But at least I thought about Kelli some of the time I was out there, making up scenarios like what if I could just come up to her without her even knowing I came to Texas and put my arms around her, what a great surprise that would be to her! Oh, it just made me feel so good thinking about that, but alas, that is not very possible right now. :(
