liquor store cashier

 every so often i make a visit to a liquor store to get a can of beer as i like a beer with the evening meal once a week. tonight, i went and got cans of miller light and busch light. i drank the can of 56 with the evening meal, so there are five beers waiting. notable about this visit was finding out the cashier is in school at a junior college, with plans for law school eventually. this was found out when i was told of sending an email to himself. two things in particular stand out. i said i had a classmate that was a judge but died of cancer four years ago. also, how i was 'stubborn enough' to reach the finish line and graduate. i advised the dude to 'find out what works for you to reach the finish line'. i know i have done this before, when i hear of someone in law i speak of my late friend. i think this is why i try to avoid thinking about friends who have passed, as 'life is for the living'. do i miss them? of course. but i am also aware of the reality that they are gone, and i can't change that. this is something i can work on, i guess. at work i found some more papers to toss in the shred bin. there was a UPS envelope for our i.t. rep and i was told it was 'tokens for new users'. waiting to hear more about the 'distribution' of the contents of the package. there was a dial-in meeting just before midday but part of the time i was still doing my normal duties, sounded like an optional meeting about company ethics and security. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 50 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when the friends were working together. there was when sheldon led a project at the north pole. then there was when the project for the military started, and they tested the eye scanner.
