Before work I helped my dad put the rider mower in
the back of Bro. Jim's truck, which my dad borrowed for today. We
drove it to an old guy's house for him to fix it. His house had
gotten fallen on by a tree last February in the huge windstorm. He
now lives in his motorhome on the property.
I called Tracy's dad to ask for suggestions about the problem
with my car and he said to put a tester light on the battery cable
and then take out one fuse at a time to see if the light goes out.
Once I find it, then I'll know what to replace. I did that and the
light didn't go out for any of them. Then I took all them out and
the light still didn't go out. I called him again but I guess they
were already at the coast. I put the Carmageddon game CD in my car
stereo and listened the the music from that on the way to work.
Carmageddon is a really fun racing game and it plays the music as
you race, and so it was like playing the game in real life when I
drove with the music playing, only I didn't go nearly as fast, lol.
Carly was only at work until 5 and my shift started at 4, and the
only time I saw her was when she was walking out to her car and she
didn't see me. Oh well, that's okay. I wasn't going to run up to her
to tell her "goodbye". She gives me a look like I'm being a freak
when I do things like that. So I just let her go and didn't even
approach her. If she wants my company then she'll come ask me,
whether it be over the phone or just taking her break outside the
break room for once and saying "hi" to me outside. Maybe that's too
much effort for people to do, but they expect me to go inside and
talk to them in their department. Anyway, I'm getting off topic. She
left, and Tracy had already left to go to the coast as I said
yesterday. The only person I hang around who was there was Melissa.
Great. I was hesitant to talk to her since I figured she'd be mad
about my note, which she'd probably think was out of line on my part
and I was making something my business when it was hers. It was
7:45 and I was going to get the Crazy Bread Supreme from Little
Caesar's Pizza, so I ordered it, then, so it would be done by 8, which
was my lunch time. Then I filled up the carts and went inside to
face the music with Melissa. *gulp* I already had pretty much
planned what I would say in answer to the things she said, and I was
planning on telling her that I got the Crazy Bread Supreme and I
would ask if she was going to take a break and join me. I was
planning on asking her that no matter what was said and no matter
what mood she was in.
Well, she wasn't mad at me and we actually had a nice little
chat... without so much as a word about the note. She even told me
about her situation with her fiance. Apparently he isn't making
enough effort to get a job and Melissa's sister is thinking of
moving out and then there would be no way for Melissa and her fiance
to pay for the place. She said if that happened, she'd just say
"bye" to him and move back into her mom's house and leave everything
behind. She'd then look for another boyfriend. Well, I told her
about the Crazy Bread and she said she just took her break, but she
might take a secret one to come share my food. We shared it, that
we did (now I sound like Kenshin).
There was a young boy, maybe 7, up by the Service Desk with a
stroller and a baby, along with the dog on a leash he was holding.
The boy's 10-year-old brother was outside. I didn't know what was
going on, but later the police were there and I heard rumor that no
one in the store knew the kids and some thought they were abandoned.
That would be terrible. Why in the world would someone abandon kids?
I hope it was a mistake or some goofie thing, because otherwise,
that's just wrong. Imagine what the boys would think. I never found
out what was really up.
After everyone clocked out, I walked with Melissa while she
shopped and then out to her car. I finally asked what she thought of
the note and she said she hadn't opened the CD case since I gave it
back to her, so she hadn't read the note. Oh boy. I'm not worried
about it now, though, because she already told me about her situation
and I gave her a little clue what the note was about so she knows
what to expect. I'm still curious about what she'll think about it.
