1) Although there's a limit of 6 on $0.69 avocados at the local chain supermarket, it's not in effect at the register, and they let me buy 9 -- something that I'm okay with doing, since in the past I was misled by signs and thought that something was on sale when it wasn't, or stuff rang up differently and I didn't feel like putting up a hassle over getting overcharged like fifteen cents, so, I figure, stuff like this goes towards balancing that out and actually puts me more in the direction of breaking even (I think I was like around three dollars in the hole, before that avocado purchase, and now I'm like two dollars in the hole with what they owe me now, cumulatively).
2) After I'm carrying around some dishes that I'm clearing and a digital clock that I keep on my dining room table to tell time, I look around and suddenly the digital clock is nowhere to be seen, and I go and look, and there it is in the sink, I had set it in there alongside the dishes when I was clearing them from the table to the sink.
(I was pretty darn sleepy that afternoon, got to admit!)
3) One night at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now, three (white) people -- one man and two women -- are there on a university credit card and the expected fourth doesn't show up, and it slowly becomes apparent when I'm by their table over the course of the meal that all three are entomologists, and the man among them seems to be recovering from some combination of overwork and depression.
"Some nights I just turn on the black light and see what comes by my porch without even trying to collect it," he says to them, as I'm leaving the table. "Just sit there and enjoy myself."
Then, he adds, "But I don't have to tell you that, you get it."
