inflation greeting card

 when i went to walgreen near the end of my lunch i found the inflation greeting card i was looking for. no surprise it was in the shoebox greetings section. it says 'got you some balloons, couldn't afford the helium kind'. must have been sold out and then re-stocked recently. while there i was waiting in line to pay for the bottle of juice and an ice cream candy bar while a lady was holding up the line, wanting a receipt for a canceled transaction. she left in a huff after being hostile to the manager and saying she had worked for this chain store at one point. it is a reminder of why i don't miss call center work. both of the big supply deliveries arrived in the morning, first the check stock and then the envelopes. the courier was about to unload the envelope boxes in the branch area when i was there briefly but i pointed out where they belonged, knowing they were for me. some of the items found during cleanup were sent to the breakroom, some were plush toys from the payroll area and others were from benefits, based on a bowl being labeled as such. a swiftie asked for help on getting legal documents sent out, arriving when i was bringing in the check stock shipment. i was ready to overnight it but then noticed it was a PO BOX address, unable to overnight to a box. sounds like she went across the road to get it sent at the post office. there were three cork boards left out from the cleanup, i claimed one of them and i would like to think i can find some use for it. of course, this is the kind of thing often used as a bulletin board in public places. in the evening i went to perform, this show is fronted by the photographer. university accountant was the show closer. i did some stories about an old song i heard on the radio and a recent TV commercial for a car. i did not know the emcee, but when asked what to say about myself i said i had been interviewed about performing before. during my walks i found 2 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when christopher lloyd was a guest star, as a tenant found by sheldon. it was followed by the one where raj claimed to be metrosexual after asking his parents for help to find a date for howard and bernadette's wedding.
