Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[odeon]

^I always go to bed after midnight and I'm older than you are. But my sleeping sucks, always did.

I never knew you went to bed that late.

I probably sleep too much. But back when I was a forklift driver I used to have to get up at 5am to start work at 6am. So that meant I had to be in bed by 9pm. Since then I've always gone to bed around that time even though I don't have to get up at 5am.

Good thing to happen: I found some dried mango pieces (in a packet) in the pantry. I forgot they were there.

Found that one of my packages was successfully delivered to "Someplace,"  California. I live in Indiana, so I complained.

Email response was, "Sadly a making mistake occurred during your addressing. Immediately we will out ship again today."

Dairy Queen? Blizzards? What is this? *said in DS9 Prophet voice*

It's a frozen ice cream treat with things mixed into it like cookie dough, or brownie chunks etc and it's so thick that when they put it into the cup, they can tip it upside down and it won't fall out. So good.

I go to bed early as well. I'm in bed by 8pm so that I can read and lights out by 10:30pm. I have to be up before 7:30am every day and I'm a person who needs a lot of sleep.

If Australian McDonalds serve McFlurry, it's like that, except Dairy Queen probably offers more choices of stuff to put in it .

But the Blizzard is a lot thicker.

Is it? Both restaurants have soft serve icecream machines. As a teen worked in both a Dairy Queen and a Sonic. They both had soft serve ice cream machines and a Sonic blast was no different than a blizzard. Have never eaten icecream at a McDonalds, but it makes sense.

Compared to a McFlurry, I would say yes. I haven't had a Blast though because they don't have Sonic here.

(and now I'm giggling that I'm giving this much thought to this particular topic. Yes, definitely still in quarantine)

Personally hated the whole tip the cup thing, because during busy times when the machines were overworked there's no way that was happening. Also thought sonic was better because they serve theirs in styrofoam cup which slowed melting while eating. Now realizing it's been entirely too long since allowing myself to eat icecream.

Worked for nearly 5 hours at walmart due to mgmt. incompetence.  But it was good, since Carla and I had no place to go or see due to the pandemic.  I just had to make sure I did NOT go beyond 5 hours on the clock or I would have been written up for breaking state law.  Yeah, go figure that out.  I volunteer to work and get screwed for being a nice person.     It's happened once and walmart sucks.

Why the 5-hour limit?

Why the 5-hour limit?

It's a NH state labor law.  You must clock out at 5 hours and take a break for lunch or so.  I once went 2 minutes over by staying to help out beyond my normal work time.  I got written up for it.  It sounds ridiculous, but, I suppose the law goes back to a time when the company would work people without giving breaks at all.  So if I stay on the clock for more than 5 hours, walmart could get in trouble with the law.  So last night, I kept a wary eye on the clock.

Looking on the plus side of cancelling our travel plans for the next few months..........we're saving a lot of money from staying at B&B's and eating out at restaurants.
