Gosh, seems like I've been gone on vacation. But nope, not the case. This week just pulled me in other directions. So, happy Friday!
Firstly, the college students dealt with midterms earlier this week, so the test center was bustling. And, as a result of midterms, several students said, "Oh, fudge!" (or something like that) "The semester's half over and I'm in a pickle. Maybe I should sign up for tutoring!", and they did.
So suddenly, my tutor schedule's full and I'm filling in here and there a little extra at the testing center. Sarge is on vacation, and we haven't even started the process of hiring an assistant boss. So, in the spirit of the holiday, we're operating with a skeleton crew.
So a little catch-up in bullets:
A moment I'd like to remember forget:
- I stopped at walmart on my way home one night this week. I don't like going there, particularly around 5pm. BUT, it was a convenient stop as walmart tends to be, and I needed some Flonase®, and walmart has cheap drugs.
Apparently a man wet his pants just before I arrived. An employee was standing by the "wet cleanup" so shoppers would avoid it. Soon afterward, I saw the same employee wiping it up with a flimsy rag, about the size of a hand towel, by swishing it around under his foot.
No mop, no water or cleanser of any kind. He was essentially just smearing pee over a large area of floor.
That'll teach me. All for the want of cheap Flonase®.
Something I learned and would like to explore further:
- I learned about Mike the headless chicken from Liz . Clicking on her provided link, I learned that Mike was from Fruita, Colorado - near to where I am right now! There's an entire festival commemorating a chicken without a head. Who knew? I might just have to attend this festival next year.
On a similar note, I learned about the Mothman and the resultant Mothman museum. How much further I wish to explore that one? Hmmm....
A news story that caught my attention:
- Didja hear about the vomit fee for people who can't handle their Sunday brunch mimosas?
Makes perfect sense to me. Charge 'em.
There it is. A rather busy week featuring an unwanted bodily fluids theme.

After that, I hope the Flonase worked...
John, you got that right. Better not be a dud batch.
Definitely not a post for the sensitive of stomach!
I'm always a little nervous when I go into a Wal Mart because you just never know what you will see. I persevere though because besides cheap drugs they also have the best prices on toilet paper and paper towels! Anyway, shame on the management for not providing their employee something a little more substantial to clean the mess with!
That is so gross but it's Walmart and I'm not surprised. I go for the exact same reason. Headless chicken? Aren't they all? I mean that's how to kill them for food. Still gross. The state fair is here. Not my jam. Fried everything. But I am amazed at the things they fry and sell.😆 I'm more the cotton candy type. Lol
Liz, nope. Maybe I should've done a trigger warning.
Jeanette, walmart can be good for the one-stop-shopping experience. I don't see myself going to that particular one anytime soon, though!
Peggy, weird that the guy did such an inept job of "cleaning" in full view of customers.
Yes, Mike was headless while staying very much alive! Farmer was trying to kill him for eating, but ended up making a bunch of money off his famous chicken with no head. I'm thinking of doing the run-like-a-headless-chicken 5K 😄
Wow, those are some pretty gross stories. That's one way to start my Monday...
Allstarme79, Monday = clean slate. Let's hope!
