flowers for nobody

 near the end of the workday i was checking the branch for deliveries and asked the branch manager what the flowers were for in her office. she said they were for an employee who no longer works there, and she asked the florist to pick them up. so they were technically for nobody. it was nice getting caught up with running checks through the machine, aided by the lower volume on the fargo checks. there was some returned mail dating back to february. i had tried to get it to the right place, an HVAC company in cincinnati, so i found another address on google and sent it out again. in the evening i got more tax forms ready to send to the state, these were the property tax forms. then on the way to the performance venue i put them in the drop-box next to their building. i had plenty of bank stories ready, five in all. and there was stories about seeing three movies this week. although it will be remembered for hearing somebody talking during my set. i just decided to plow through, even though i wanted to call them out. it may have been another performer, who was on after me and spoke of having various stage names. later on i went on a walk and found 44 cents. and saw what was likely an injured rabbit as it didn't scurry away when it saw me. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when the friends acted out 'lord of the rings' when they end up with a ring. it was followed by the one where sheldon and leonard try going to skywalker ranch. while their friends play ping-pong to decide who gets the 'doctor who' phone booth.
