True Story: I'm driving home from Detroit (land of fast drivers, horrible accents and my dear friend Melissa Coffey) and Dawson McAlister, late night advice DJ, comes on. He literally made teenage dream into an inspirational song with stories inserted about people who almost committed suicide. Even more ridiculous...I almost started crying. Eesesh. Maybe I'm just nuts, but the last time I checked Katy Perry wasn't exactly what one would consider inspirational. (Unless of course you consider California Gurls..that little gem changed my life...)
Another True Story: I went to Arby's to get some dinner while I was on the road. I ordered a number 1 with a water. I pull up to the window. They hand me a roast beef sandwich.
Me: "I ordered a combo. I need fries."
Girl: "I didn't take your order."
Me: "Well. That's nice..but I still need fries."
Girl: "Well. You'll have to wait two and a half minutes. Just stay here."
Me: "Okay..there's someone behind me..."
Girl: "They're waiting on fries too."
4 minutes later.
Girl: "Just so you know, when you order a combo with water...you need to say bottled water."
Me: "But I didn't want bottled water."
Girl: "Oh, well you can't get regular water with a combo."
Me: "Oh. Sorry."
Girl: "Yeah. Just keep it in mind for next time."
Me: "Okay..."
Girl: "Could you pull forward? "
Pull forward...5 minutes elapse. Man behind me gets food. I thought he needed fries...apparently not.
Girl: "Here you go. I upsized your fries and drink for being cooperative."
I seriously felt disciplined by Arby's. If I hadn't been cooperative would they have taken my food away? I now know where to go if I ever need a moral compass or a nice dose of positive reinforcement.
Also. She upsized my water? It's free as it is.

Some Things to Consider:
As of yesterday night at midnight, Melissa L. Coffey and I are officially independent and competent humans because we assembled a couch. It was quite the feat. You may wonder about a couch that needs to be assembled...I would tell you to visit your local swedish furniture mart...they don't believe in pre assembled.
Big Bang Theory starts this week. I wish I could say I'm not counting down the hours...but that would be a lie.
