brownie batter blizzard

 i am still working through the dairy queen blizzard lineup for the summer. this time it was the brownie batter blizzard, so i have had four of the six. i was planning on going to the one near work, at the end of the day, but the line was too long. i ended up going to the one in eagan, near the movie theater, before i went to get groceries at the hy-vee. i was asked if i wanted a cover for it, i said no as i was going to eat it there. i think i was asked due to the pouring rain, which started just before i started my drive there. i bought eight items at hy-vee, a little bummed that the self-checkout was unavailable. even said so to the cashier, but there was a reference to how some stores, like wally world, plan on taking them out. it may be just a case of them being down after a certain hour, but in recent years i have seen fewer of them when i go to this store, period. at work a lady showed up at the check shop to claim the remaining envelopes for payroll. in advance i was sent an i.m., saying she wanted a thousand. i said that is all we have left, so if you need more then you will have to order them yourself. also notable was me claiming two more items with the bank's logo on it from the main floor. i am aware of how this is due to more cleanup related to the upcoming move to a downtown office. i claimed a coffee mug, and a plastic tumbler with a lid as well as a strawhole, so this brings me up to ten items i have claimed recently with the bank logo. at a former job i was used to these being given to me, especially shirts whenever we signed up a big client. not a big deal how these aren't given out much at the current job as i just like having work i enjoy that pays well. i was sent some care packages as a new hire, which included a water bottle. eventually i got a nameplate as well. with what i have found, the old saying applies: 'one man's trash is another man's treasure'. either that or these things were just plain left behind by employees who have left the company. but who cares why they are available? i like having all of these items. during my walks i found 75 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when leonard and penny get married in las vegas. it was followed by the one where raj and howard kiss in telescope lab, while penny fakes getting back together with leonard to please her dad.
