alenxa_classicHighlights of today's 3.2-mile walk:
- A guy out watering his lawn asked me whether I did, as my shirt said, really love nerds. I said I was married to one. His reply: "Rock 'n' roll!"
- Apparently the new trend in women's sunshades is to hold up a jacket. No less than four women on my route were using hoodies as parasols. Whatev.
- While in the T-Mobile store, I got a call from a shady-sounding recruiter. I'd been to a Primerica recruitment meeting about 6 years ago and been roundly unimpressed, and this woman's refusal to tell me anything about the positions available didn't do anything to alleviate that. I think I will actually call the "Bill" person whose number she gave me, just to tell him that "Barbara" appears to be terminally out of the loop when it comes to the actual jobs she's trying to recruit for. I'm sick of sales offers that are packaged to sound like they're not sales.
- Having unearthed a $10 Starbucks card, I stopped in at the local store to spend a little of somebody else's limbo-cash and heard the employees ragging on the Robeks next door. So I went to Robeks instead.
