ornaments adopted

 i wasn't expecting to find christmas ornaments on easter weekend, but i did at work. it was in the hall near the check shop. some boxes and bags were marked as 'trash'. i got a look at the brown paper grocery bag full of ornaments and 'adopted' three of them. this was two santas and a star, which said 'happy holidays'. one santa looks taller than the other due to the hat being shaped like a dunce cap. i found branches for all three on my table-top tree when i got home. i also claimed a scale-model car, a t-bird, from this bag. at the end of the day i noticed the box of wrapping paper rolls was moved into the breakroom. in the afternoon i grumbled about being asked to intercept a check. i had done it before but this time there was two that i found and i didn't like having to guess which one. the request was late, so it was after i had run checks through the machine and it meant going only by payees when already in envelopes. when i found two for the same payee i was told to send out one but not the other. a meeting with a business line for early next week has already been moved back a week. near the end of the day i decided to unarchive a work goal as i was told by the boss how the team needed goals in by the end of the day. after work i went to a fish fry. i had been to the one at this church before, and knew the turn-off was tricky. make a turn and stay on the road that gets you up the hill, stay straight and the road name changes and you miss it. some fire-fighters were just outside the building when i arrived, guess they were there to eat just like me. i paid and got a slip of blue paper, then i sat down and a volunteer took my ticket and brought my meal. the potato was still hot to the touch when i unwrapped it from the foil. an older couple was at the table, and when i spoke of being an iowa native the man said he was from iowa as well, humboldt. after i was done i went home for a short time, then went to hy-vee in eagan for groceries. then i watched some of the college basketball tournament, duke was playing houston. i laid down at halftime and fell asleep, missed the second half, but found out duke won a close one. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 46 cents.
