A Hump Day Morning

I got my usual breakfast at this place by my work. It comes out to $5.50, so I dropped a ten dollar bill and a one dollar bill so that I'd be able to get a five back without all those pesky singles. Imagine the bewildered look on my face when he still proceeded to give me back $4.50 for change. He gave me a small thanks, and at that point I realized that he must have thought I was tipping him! Maybe it's the Asian in me, but I figured it would have made it awkward for both of us if I had told him what happened so I just shrugged it off. What would you have done? I mean, I go to the guy every day.

As I was making my way into my building, there was an FDNY EMT worker also making her way in. I'm not sure what their role is exactly . . . maybe they're supposed to be on-site emergency workers? Well if that's the case, then why are they all obese? The woman was hobbling on a cane for chrissakes. When you're obese to the point that you need a cane to walk, you should consider another line of work. Being a 100+lbsĀ  overweight and hobbling on a cane doesn't exactly instill confidence.

BTW . . . I feel like a moron referring to Wednesday as hump day.
