powerpray

it all started last week when i got a new laptop bag.

during red sox season, it can be pretty inconvenient to ride the t with a big backpack. so, instead of selling out and moving to cambridge, i invested in the previously mentioned bag. i figured it'd also be less sweaty if i walked home over the bridge, too.

anyway, this morning when i packed for my trip i forgot to move my ipod cable back to my backpack. i just figure, life is more fun without checklists. so, when i arrived at work only to find my cube had no power (i've moved into a new cube for the... third time this fiscal year?), i figured it was a good time to go get a cable at the apple store.

so, i walk over there and there are a bunch of people standing outside best buy. once inside, the lights are off at starbucks, which seems weird. in fact, the lights are off at every store on the right hand side, including the apple store. i guess that explains the people milling around outside best buy, too. fortunately, radio shack came through again! hooray.

oh. my. god. i never thought i would have to be physically restrained from attacking a woman in a wheelchair. twice.

but i mean honestly. if one of the checkout machines is broken, MOVE THE PERSON IN THE WHEELCHAIR WHO IS BLOCKING THE WORKING MACHINES IN FRONT OF THE BROKEN ONE. i don't even know.

and then between the boarding pass place and security, there was an atm which i decided to stop at. when i then got to security, who was there in front of me? my good friends the golden girls. so, they make the one in the wheelchair walk through the metal detector. she can barely stand up, let alone walk three feet, so the guy working the machine reaches out his hand to help her get through.

of course, he's wearing some huge watch, and it sets off the machine. i'm pretty sure no jury would have convicted me.

i don't know what i would do without the soothing escape of my ipod.
