Have A Smelly Day!

Yesterday(Thursday), seemed like it was National Reek to High Heaven Day.  No matter where I went, there were lots of nasty-ass people who smelled like B.O. and ass.  The first was a big, fat guy in the waiting room at the doctor's office.  He smelled like ass and flop sweat.  Then there was a whole herd of fat hippo-looking bipedal beasts at Publix stampeding through the produce aisle.  And then there was an old man in the check-out line in front of me who had the old man B.O. funk.  What the hell is wrong with people?  Can't they smell their own selves?

I also went to the Oriental grocery last night.  At least there weren't any smelly peeps in there, just the usual aroma.  I wanted to get some items to make some Chinese food.  I ended up getting there about a half hour before they closed and the young guy who works there was already mopping the floor. I apologized for messing up his work and he said it was okay, but then a bunch of other peeps came in behind me and really messed it up. (This is why you should wait until the store closes to mop up.)  Anyway, I needed some red marinade for roast pork and some baby bok choy and bean sprouts.  The bean sprouts there are the cheapest in town.  I can get a big package for around $1.  The baby bok choy wasn't looking very good so I ended up getting the regular size bok choy.  It ended up being cheaper at $0.95/lb, about $0.50 cheaper per pound than the baby variety.  And I managed to find one that wasn't too heavy and had a good quantity of green tops.  Surprisingly, they didn't have any snow pea pods so I was glad that I had bought them at Publix.  I ended up picking up a few sauces in jars and a package of fried noodles, too.  The weird thing was they didn't have any frozen egg rolls.  They had egg roll skins and frozen pot stickers and buns and such, but no egg rolls.  Ah well, they had a lot of other cool stuff.  I think the Oriental grocery is one of my favorite places just because of all the different and unusual foods for sale.  Even durian.

Onward to Wally World!  Had to pick up some bread and dog food.  At least they had the frozen egg rolls!  While I was in the check out line, someone came up and tapped me on the arm and said, "Excuse me.  Don't I know you?"  It was someone who I used to work with about four years ago.  She told me she was still working at that place and that the lady who was our manager was still there.  She told me that they remodeled the place.  I told her that I had heard that one of the other managers had died.  She confirmed that he had died from a heart attack.  I think he was 52.  She didn't seem to have too much to add so I told her it was nice to see her and went about my business.  Too bad the other manager didn't die.  I might've seen about getting my old job back if that was the case.
