granolas & organics can be real jacka#!es.
working at a local wholefood market i come across so many freakin arrogant people. this one guy yesterday waltzed in with his long hippy grey hair, down to his shoulders, rainjacket hat, dirty faded jeans (this isn't what made him unbearable) and then proceeded to comment on every item of clothing i was wearing & everything that came out of my mouth.

after i said 'yes sir, you can get fresh wheat grass juice back here in the deli' he's like, 'i notice you people here in iowa say sir quite a lot'.
huh? i said nothing.
he surveyed my outfit & said, 'huh, a wool blazer with jeans, that's different'
THEN he said something about my black boots--reminding him of elvis.
what?
elvis is sweet, but the way he said it was not meant as a compliment.
up until this point i was open to bantering...
but that's when this girl draws the line.
--you do not talk about my clothes that way. best keep your mouth shut.

(p.s. my outfit was sweet-thank you goodwill)

i was discussing this issue with a fellow co-worker & we think that maybe there is a higher expectation for healthy folks to be more happy.
myth debunked. it's not true.
the unfortunate deal is that most of our customers are old---(which can be good when you meet that old woman who LOVES us cuz we always have her organic bananas) but can also lend itself to a lot of ranting & specific bagging requests.
OH and of course a lecture on the legislation of whether or not pharmaceutical companies are going to take over the rights of distributing supplements. "If I had just TEN MINUTES I'd tell them....!!!'
write a letter. sign a petition. stop bitching about it.
especially to ME who agrees with you (minus the crazy business)

tomorrow the fam is celebrating e-rock's big F.I.V.E. he's all old & stuff. i miss him. i don't get to see him a whole lot.
oh-and natalie is growing like crazy. i guess she knows her toes & nose and all those very necessary things. i don't ever really get to see her either. i'm glad i'll be hanging with them tomorrow.
i will soon have pics linked-up so that you can see the progression of these beautiful creatures.
