Just wondering if I was sucky here:
Pinning was today. My Fall class of nursing students have their big day when they get their pins, marking their official graduation from nursing school. For us it's a bigger deal than commencement, which isn't until May.
I had to stop at the grocery store to pick up a lighter; one of my colleagues and I had the role of lighting the lamps after the graduates got their pins and I only had one.
I find what I need quick enough, and there was no line. The girl is checking me out and I've paid cash and am waiting for my change when this woman comes up. She knows the cashier and they start jabbering and chatting. Meanwhile the cashier is standing there with my change in her hand . . . and making no move to hand it to me.
I have to get going. So I interject, "I'm in a hurry . . . I need my change."
The cashier gives me this really sour look as she hands it to me.
I was curt, I will admit. It's not that I cared about her having a conversation with a friend . . . it's just that I had a problem with her being so distracted it was holding me up.
So, was I sucky?
