  • Smashing watermelons and picking weeds

    It's not a slicer, not a dicer, not a chopper in a hopper. What in the hell could it possibly be?

    Came into work this morning and noticed a peculiar stain on the asphalt in the parking lot. There were little pink flecks scattered here and there around it.

    It turns out a watermelon got smashed in the parking lot last night. This can only mean one thing: Gallagher visited my store!

    Or maybe some kids were making mischief. I'm going with the first option, because it's more fun for me.

    Something Numbnuts should be doing

    We have these three little concrete islands in our parking lot with scraggly little trees and shrubs in them. The city made us put those in a couple years ago to make our property more bee-yoo-tiful, or at least slightly less ugly.

    I got assigned to pull the weeds out of them today, because evidently some busybody complained about their appearance. Spending an hour bent over yanking out stubborn weeds and being poked and prodded by the Mutant Killer Prickly Weeds of Doom is not my idea of an enjoyable activity.

    By the time I was done I had filled up three garbage bags full of weeds to throw away. I just love it when I get saddled with all the bitch jobs while Numbnuts gets to push his empty shopping cart around all day.

    No more bastard pills for you, Mr. Crabby Apple

    Got called to carry out a storage bed, headboard and footboard for a customer. It turned out the bed stuck out over the tailgate of the customer's POS pickup truck.

    I went to pick up the end of the bed so the tailgate could be closed when the customer shouted at me "LEAVE THAT DAMN THING DOWN! THAT AIN'T GOING ANYWHERE!"

    Right. Remember that if and when the bed slides out of your truck as you're driving up one of the several hills in town.

      What a waste of watermelon.

      They are negative calories......if I could, I'd eat watermelon all day everyday.

        At least Irv didn't have to deal with SCs too much. He spent most the time weeding!

          I'd like the record to show I only spent about an hour weeding. If I had to spend the whole day out there I'd have died. It was a warm one today.

          I get to go outside and finish the job tomorrow. I'm sure I missed a weed or 100 the first go 'round.

          Other than the above stories it was a pretty uneventful day.

                For the of legal drinking age members

                take one wonderful watermelon
                use an item like a screwdriver or knife that is cleaned/ sanitary to create a hole
                pour your choice of vodka,everclear etc into opening. Place clear wrap over openin . . . put watermelon in fridge where it won't tip and spill out for for @24 hours
                Remember some liquid will come out when you cut it open . . .be prepared and cut inside something with sides . . .the liquid can be used for additional beverages.

                another is place a few bite sizes in bottom of glass top with champagne/ sparkling wine

                as for the weeds. . . .can't help you my allergies don't allow breathing and gardening in the same slot of time

                      It's a shame the principles of weeding can't be applied to customers!
