Summertime in the DC

As the weather warms up, people are stopping in more and more to donate their used household goods. This is good for the organization, and my job security. This is bad for me directly because people give me a lot of dirty, useless junk that I have to sort through. In the past two days I have found the following in boxes and purses:

- a prescription bottle of penicillin (unfinished)
- a lanyard with a key on it (here's hoping you're not locking up your work tonight, donor)
- coffee beans
-  two handfuls of pennies
- 3 cigarette lighters (all full)
- oodles of Cheerios. Honestly, in 4 different purses I found Cheerios.

As business gets steadier, I find myself with less slacking off time to accomplish the things I want to, but I'm also more active and therefore I feel less sluggish, bored and sleepy throughout the day. Plus I'm finding pennies by the pound, so by the end of the summer I'll easily have at least $10 just in pennies. Which is pretty sweet.

Dilated Driving

A customer drove up to the donation center today, got out of her car and walked over to the door where I was waiting. (We are supposed to greet the customers at their cars.) She was wearing large sunglasses. She said to me (thinking, for some reason, I might care) "I've just had my pupils dilated, I can't see a thing!" and then she goes on to ask the kind of items we accept. Typical questions.

Let me reiterate the part where she drove up to the donation center.

Thank fucking fuck fuck that the people I care about are not on the road right now.
