Drunk At Salon

     Tonight at the comedy club, the godmother was one of the performers and spoke of being married to a cop. He had to go to a salon to deal with somebody who showed up drunk. Others were about a bucket list, crying too much, saving turtles, being spooned by a dog, acronyms, and yoga at church. The big dog did one about getting married recently. I still like the honesty in saying 'I didn't want her to leave'. Others were about the vows, like the wise words in them, a 'Charade' (he pronounced it 'Shuh-rod') and internet dating ads. The 'extra murder' comic did one about moving into a new apartment. Others were about phone books, a decommissioned U-Haul at a food truck fair, a donut burger, and a documentary about water shortage. The show closer was the university accountant. She did ones about fad names, porn names, that's so raven, and Tootsie Pops. The MC was half of the Valley Meadows act. He did the Twin City comparison joke. A comic that has done a 'Ding dong ditch' joke did one about getting a break from family by being in prison for DWI. And she took a dollar from a college fund to punish one of her kids. Self checkout did one about an 'Irish hug'- 'Pop!' and called Alaska 'God's country',  after a recent visit there on a cruise if I'm not mistaken. The nurse's aide did ones about taking dance lessons, something about her parents were suggesting she be a stripper. she has 2 jobs, and hasn't finished her degree. 
   I liked how I accomplished plenty at work, it helped that there was a lower volume of course for two of the three things I am in charge of- the payoff report and new titles. No new titles, so the ones left over from the previous day were easily done. I did 16 letters, all of them from Thursday and Monday are done, and 11 are left. All of those were from earlier today. I rejected two letters as there was just not enough information. I don't enjoy doing this but I have no choice as I don't want to guess. I will admit this made it easier to get more caught up on letters. One colleague, a large man who likes to talk about foreign leaders as he majored in political science, is ill with a cold again today. I asked- as a joke- when I heard sniffles if he was bummed about the death of a former foreign minister of the USSR. He hadn't heard of this news yet. I saw it on  the front page of one of the Twin City papers, passing by a coin rack on the way into work this morning. This colleague surprises me, I expected him to be a fairly serious guy but he admitted to liking the Marky Mark movie 'Ted', the one with the vulgar teddy bear. I haven't seen it yet. He also said he plays fantasy football.
