January


One of the trial-est and tribulation-est months of them all. Christmas and my birthday came and went a little over a week ago -- in December. Now, it's January and nobody cares. I won't be getting any presents during the entire month. Not a single present. January is pretty much just for coasting through work and breaking up with people we dated just for the Christmas presents and gift cards.

Dolly Parton was born in January. There's no joke there, I just looked it up and noticed she was born in January. That's how bad January is. It's January and I'm telling you that Dolly Parton's birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. Mark it on your calendar. Just sayin. (It's on the 19th, fyi.).

You know what she's famous for? her quotes.

She said "if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." She also said, "when I get inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next." I think that's a pretty narcissistic thing to say. What about other people? They come up with things, too.

Jim Carrey was born in January too. I'll bet he's no narcissist.

Giving

Recently, in the drive through at McDonalds getting a drink for $1.08, I noticed this little display. It allows you to donate money for McDonalds charity. Frankly, I don't like this little girl's attitude. It doesn't say to me, "Please help, I would appreciate it. I'm cute."
It says "Is that all you've got? Oh wait, ya it is. Because you just bounced two checks that totally ruined your day and you will always be a loser."
What?

ps. I'd like to give a shout out to the homeless guy that needed a quarter. Thanks for complimenting me on my teeth. And for warning me about the Highway Patrol car to my right. Also- thanks for ending our visit with "love ya".

Diet Coke

Well, it's back to the grind. The Holidays are over. It's a new year, and time to reflect. It's been quite a year. Not much is worth mentioning, besides McDonalds reducing the price of their drinks to $1.08. Any size! Holy Sh*t!
I go to a McDonalds near my work to get a drink at lunch time. There is a guy that works the window who ALWAYS says the same thing. We literally have the same conversation every time I go there.
Let's call him "Travis". Here 's how it goes:
Travis: " Well hello, my lovely, my lovely young lady! How are you today?"
Jami : "Good thanks. How are you?"
Travis: "Great, now that I have a lovely young lady at my window. Your husband is one lucky guy."
Jami: "I'm not married."
Travis: "Boyfriend?"
Jami: "No."
Travis: "Well, that's hard to believe"
Jami: "Can I just have my f***king change?"

Thanks
Jami
