potluck greeting card

 i bought a greeting card in a skyway store i have passed by to get to the Walgreen. i had seen two, and figured i should get the second when it was fresh in my mind. a week later, i did. the art on it was really good, depicting a potluck table. just as important, i got it because there is a profile about actor-comedian Jeff Foxworthy on the back. and this is part of the 'you might be a redneck' series of jokes. and i got another bottle of Dunkin donuts iced coffee. test checks were printed mid-morning, once there was a file available. i.t. asked if it was a good time by i.m., i said no live checks were being printed just then. there were two files, both for the Fargo business line. just under twenty checks to print. and i had to black out the credit card numbers in order to get them through as a scan and then as an email to i.t. i was on a call about it when the doorbell camera rang, so i answered the door and it was the mailroom sending me the empty mail tubs as well as a returned overnight envelope. i joked how i really was in demand then. i liked how the overnight volume was lower, just twenty-five, as some days this week it was close to or over fifty. easier to get out close to the normal time when there are fewer overnight labels to create at the end of the day. when i got back to the park and ride i drove over to a fish fry, it was a church i had been to before. there was a line to get in, but it steadily moved. i was next to two ladies who talked about a trip to Hawaii. weird what happened with my turn with the cashier. at first i was given too little change from the twenty, then it was corrected. then i get over to the food line and was asked by somebody from the cashier table if she gave me a ticket. i said she did, and i put it in the fishbowl already. then i went to a table to eat and knew one packet of tartar sauce wasn't enough. a man thought i was leaving because of him, and i showed my plate, saying that wasn't enough tartar sauce. two packets proved to be enough. as i was leaving i had to look up a verse i saw at the entrance, isaiah 35-2. made sense once googling as it mentions the origins of this order of the church. after i was done there, i went to a speedway gas station to get the paper, chocolate milk, and string cheese. i was asked to open a door for a lady who was having trouble with the gas pump. after the news, and 'enough said', i watched a 'Rockford files' rerun. during my walks i found 5 cents.
