an older woman came into the store today and purchased a shower seat, you know one of those chairs specifically for people who can't stand very long that they can put in the shower. anyway she was sitting waiting for someone to help her carry this out to the car when an item fell from the shelf above her and landed on her head.
woman: "oh! what's this?" ::inspects package:: "why it's a box of condoms! i'm going to sue this store! i just got hit on the head with condoms!"
pharmacist: "sure! you can sue us! go ahead".
pharmacist tech standing next to me whispers: "why yes, we give out a free box of condoms with every shower seat".
ahahahaha.

my other story for you is that i've spent the past two days sitting on pillows and ice packs. i had a pretty spectacular wipe out on rollerblades saturday. i'm told it was rather like watching a cartoon character hit a banana peel. my feet whipped out from underneath me and there was little i could do to stop it. i didn't even have time to catch myself with my heavily wrist-guarded wrists. instead i landed on my left elbow and my previously injured tailbone. i sort of curled into the fetal position and whispered to my sister-in-law "just leave me here for a minute". she had barely managed avoiding running me over with her bike from behind. my head slipped down her front tire on the way down. i did however get back up and skate the remainder of the trail but whoa does my arm/tailbone/abs/shoulders hurt now. i'm just glad that i don't have to sit down at work all day or write a lot.

speaking of work a wise pastor once told me "God cares far more about your attitude toward your boss than He does about you restocking the dollar store shelves". indeed. i'm working on that and trying to accept the fact that there really IS only so much i can do each day. i might not be able to accomplish all of the tasks my boss wants me to do, but i can do my work with a better attitude and i can respect him despite my opinions on his managerial skills.
