Yeah.... I'm scheduled 10:00PM to 8:00AM, but I usually come in an hour early and sometimes stay until 10:00AM. Working 5 days a week is for suckers when you can get your 29 hours done in 3 days, right?
By the time I posted this message, I was probably 6 beers into it :)
I'm glad I don't work Sunday night anymore. I mean, I know that I've just worked a 10-12 hour shift, but everyone else just sees some guy wearing beat up clothes and shoes walking out of the grocery store with a case of cheap beer first thing on a Monday morning. ;)
BTW... you guys are being total dicks right now, you know that, right?
Also, I am pretty amazing looking and my million dollar smile is all real teeth, thanks to three very painful years of braces. I actually had a girl at work ask me if I had dentures because my teeth were so perfect.
If what was inside of me was half as beautiful as the delicious candy shell everyone gets to enjoy on the outside, I'd convert to Mormonism just so I could keep getting married. ;)
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Thank you Brenda. I'm glad to be able to share that awesome story and be able to make somebody else smile. It's kind of like that little girl made you smile too. ;)

6IX - cute story ? Hell yeah. But how am I being a dick? You're the one getting loaded on cheap beer in the morning. Granted, I did give ya 1/2 a pass for just getting off work. If it were a random morning & you stared getting loaded before 7 am, that's different.

I dunno Rap... you said something about a "funny looking man", but the "helpless creatures" comment from J cuts quite a bit deeper, I think. I've known you long enough at least to at least be able to imagine that you're just making a joke out of things, so sorry if my calling the both of you dicks is offensive to you. I take it back. Also, I'm not helpless, but I do obviously have a love for the beer. I'm not hurting anyone but myself, if I look at it in the most selfish way possible... that is to say that my proclivities have never financially impacted anyone but myself, and as long as I'm single, they never will.
I know what I am. I don't hide it from anybody. I'm not all that good, but I'm not all that bad. Don't tread on me, brother, and I promise never to tread on you. ;)
In our story here, the woman who I assume was the mother of this child was also purchasing booze two minutes before the computers said it was okay to legally sell liquor in my sate. I loved her showing me her cell phone that showed the Satellite Time as 7:01. I used the same argument when trying to buy beer 10 years ago at 1:58AM in Illinois but White Hen's computer said it was 2:00 and the computer wouldn't allow the sale. (The hijinx that ensued on the quest to get beer and the after-hours party that night is an AWESOME ride, but that is another story) ;)
Yesterday though, I did manage to keep what could have been a very loud rant into a friendly conversation among peers right away and put the blame on the computers and that register lady wasn't at all at fault and was just doing her job.
That's what started this whole like 5 minute conversation, and she was sassy and she knew exactly how she felt about computers and technology revolving mostly around what I assume is also a barely-above minimum-wage job she has and I found myself smiling and agreeing with everything she said about it all. Seriously...... EVERY. DAMN. THING.
All the while, this kid who was just bouncing around and latching on to Mom like kids do just came running up to me and gave me a monster hug. I just kind of giggled and said awwwwwww and gave her a little hug back.
Mom didn't miss a single beat in her story though and just kept right on going like it didn't even happen.
I dunno... If I did look like Mel Gibson in Man Without a Face and I was penniless on the street, I suppose this would be an Epic Story about some special child who was able to selflessly went out of her way to bring brightness into every dark and hopeless soul she ever encountered.
If I wanted to be a real cynical dick about it all I might think that maybe it was a mother/daughter con team that was trying to get me to talk more outside of the store and give them 20 bucks for groceries because of some sob story.....
I don't want to think negative things like that though. In this basically bullshit world the majority of us live in, I want to take moments like these believe that they were just pure magic. Some special flash points in your life that you remember 30 or 40 or more years if you live that long.
I'm not a child psychologist, but that this girl's mother was going to the grocery store to buy liquor, kid in tow, at exactly 7:00AM. It's 50/50 that she wasn't just getting off of work.
My supposition is that either this girl's father works 2-3 jobs to make ends meet and they never see each other, or he took off when she was a baby and mom get's no child support, or he's just a deadbeat, drug addict dad that mooches off mom and doesn't even really acknowledge the kid because he's too

Don't pay Rap and Jong any mind.
I'm friends with an ex-cop who used to work the o-nite at the LA county hospital. And yeah, she and her co-workers would go and get dinner and beer in the AM.
The only thing that bothers me about you in the story is the quantities. I know you say you're only hurting yourself, but that pains me some that you're doing that.
Nothing at all to do with anything - but you mentioned your smile. How are your teeth doing?

6IX - Might just be a guess, but I bet if you didn't imbibe so much cheap ass beer, you wouldn't' have such thin skin. 
C'mon....funny lookin' guy? I have no idea what you even look like, but my mental image of anyone buying a case of beer at 6:30 in the morning who isn't headed to the beach or to a tailgate party conjures up funny lookin' folk, no matter what. You could like like Captain Mal, for all I know.
Lighten up, Francis!

Thanks 1kiki. ;)
I think from now on if I'm running low on beer I'm just going to buy it the night before I go to work. This thread actually prompted me to do that very thing last night and it worked out perfect. Here in Indiana, you have to pay an extra buck or two for "cold" beer, which I never do. Left it in my car all night last night with a low of 20 degrees and it is the perfect temperature. I don't suppose that will work so well in a month or two when it's negative temps out though. :(
Then again, if I didn't buy beer that other morning, I wouldn't have that awesome story to tell.
I do have to cut back on the quantities though, for sure. I usually try to stop drinking all together at least a month or two out of the year, and I think sooner would be better than later. Kinda feeling a little worn down. If I spread that quantity out and drank 6 or 7 every day it wouldn't be so bad, but 18-20 6% beers in a marathon sitting with two days off in between isn't a good idea kiddies....
Fortunately, for my smile, the top teeth are the only that show and they're straight as an arrow and the gum recession isn't very bad. It's my bottom two front teeth I'm worried about. They haven't gotten any worse. I've been flossing once a day religiously and putting up with that Listerine burn for at least a minute at least once a day. I know I can't grow my gums back, so I just gotta work double time to make sure that it doesn't get any worse.
Thanks for asking ;)

I don't know if I'd blame the beer for my thin skin, at least directly.
I think I just need a job that I am proud of having again. I kick ass at what I do, and I'm respected within the building for that by peers and management, but the store has had a hiring freeze for 7 years so I still make what I made 2+ years ago, just like everybody else. There is no meaninful "upward mobility" here. There's just a few thankless positions that might offer a buck more an hour and then I'd have to work days and deal with all the customers and have 5 different bosses instead of one. We did get an extra 5 bucks a night starting last paycheck for a "shift differential" though, so that's nice. But again, I'm still making just as much as the laziest guys and gals we've got, and there are quite a few of them. :)
I got another story about buying beer that early for you. This one, I thought, was funny as hell...
The couple walking out in front of me was probably in their mid 40's. They were playfully arguing about something or another but the only thing I caught was her saying something like "where would you be if you didn't have me". To which he replied in a pretty comical manner "I'd be THAT guy!", pointing his thumb back to me. (I didn't even have any groceries that day, just the beer... and it might have even been a Monday morning since I was working Sunday nights back then).
To which, I replied, "No offense, but the only part of me that wishes I was married is my liver". We all got a pretty good laugh out of that.
You're right. I'll try to lighten up. Sometimes I feel like my good looks are the only thing I got going for me these days, and just like everyone else they don't last forever, and I'm not getting any younger. Guess I let you get under my skin there.
My bad ;)
