Just returned from the fish fry for which I contributed the pecan pie.  The way it works is:  you pay and go through the line for your dinner (2 kinds of fish, mac & cheese, green beans, french fries, hushpuppies, and the best cole slaw I've ever tasted) and dessert is at the end, $1 extra for a piece of pie or cake.  Richard and I got our dinner and I glanced at the dessert table where my 6 slices of pecan pie had joined all the other items.  By the time we finished our meal and returned to select our dessert (which I brought home for later), all the pecan pie was GONE!  Richard selected banana creme and I chose turtle.

Oh look, DR Jorge has joined us.  The last time I saw you, you were a little sleeping gnome under the hypnotic bk trance...glad you're back...and still in your glasses and red hat (it must be glued on cause it didn't move all night, not even when you fell asleep)...

Strange day at work today, with a leak coming from one of the freezer units, resulting in a puddle that stretched under the shelves to two aisled over.

And Cashier Laurie somehow jammed one of the coupon printers (but we're blaming assistant manager Robert - it's kinda like blaming Jose).

And there was a backlog at the deli department, resulting in a customer (male) having a supermarket version of road rage meltdown.  Chill, dude, sheesh.

And what is it about frozen pizza, that when a customer is buying a frozen pizza there is this irresistable urge to put something else on top of the pizza box while it's on the belt before I can scan it at the register?

Laurie has noticed this happens, too.

No problem...what I do when I get to work is log in and stay logged in until I leave for the day and just refresh the browser every once in a while.

And what is the fascination some customers have with $100 bills?

I had one guy today who ran up a bill of something like $110.  So he hands me two hundred dollar bills.  Uh, he didn't have anything smaller?  Like, this somehow made him look more powerful?

They have pills to cure E. D.  Some guys just haven't heard about them yet.

Are they toasted sliced almonds on top of the whipped cream?

Never settle for anything less than toasted sliced almonds on top of the whipped cream.

Time to get dinner made.

Spaghetti, with smoked sausage in the sauce.

Which will hopefully make up for last night's chili, which was somehow bitter and simply wrong.

(Yes, I can screw up on occasion.)

It will stay that way as long as you don't wash it with red underwear.  Pink togas are so not right.

No appreciative comments from DR George re the talents of song writer Randy Newman..  DR Edisauras will not be impressed. Are you still being checkmated by the Swedes?

AARRGGHH!! (he said sheepishly) :-[ You caught me.  When I came to work this morning, I forgot to put the CDs in my bag to bring to work.  They're still sitting on my table at home...where I put them so that I wouldn't forget to bring them to work.  Dopey me. ::)

No, you put the CDs in your bag when you realize that you want to take them to work!!!  No waiting!

I've got a bag I take with me to work every day.  It has the book I'm reading (always a cookbook or something about food) and my coat inside, and my nametag pinned on the outside.

And there's still enough room inside for whatever I bring home for making dinner that night!

Walt, our pharmacist, has the same kind of bag, uses it every day.  But I think his wife does all the shopping.

Back from the meeting and shall now try to slog through two more pages.

Speaking of pages - Cilla, any info on my last question - I'll need that info for the next chapter.  Thanks.

I don't know. I've done some checking, but I can't seem to find the answer.
