The Fragile
*bucks is falling apart. No...not all of them...just the one I work at. It would be kind of cool if all of them fell apart, but that would take a corporate meltdown at their headquarters, and I only have access to physically destroying 10 or so splinter cells.
Heh...it might be funny if someone from *bucks headquarters read this and found out who I was and got a police investigation started. I said "might."
Today, this guy was standing outside our store with a bike. He was just smiling away, but in a mischievous way. One of our customers informed me that he was part of some mayors new plan to start anti-caffeine groups, so this guy was out there telling everyone to not drink coffee.
No...really...sounds like a novel or movie, but at 5am this was happening.
I was extraordinarily frustrated by everything this morning and wanted to punch someone, so I heard this and walked out and told the guy he couldn't be there. That's when he got weird. You know Brad Pitt's character from 12 Monkeys? Yeah, kinda like that. He wasn't all there would be a good way to put it. I had to let him know that I knew what he was doing and that he had to leave.
I thought it was funny, but I wanted to take out some anger. Plus the caffeinaholics who come in to my store pay my bills.
Oh, and if you want to learn about wormholes and time travel and space-time continuums, come to my store when I'm working. I guarantee you that a 5 hour shift will move slower than molasses going uphill on a cold day. I haven't figured it out yet, but once I master time I will use this for my benefit.
Speaking of weird powers, I have two. One is mostly in conjunction with my brother. The first is the ability to cause lines to form anywhere. I might have mentioned this before, but when I walk into a store and get in line, suddenly a line of 20 people will form behind me. It's uncanny. Or canny. Or something.
The other power is real, but I'm not sure if I have it or if it's just coincidence. It is said that some people have interesting abilities coordinating with the electrical flow in the human body. We all have certain amounts of electricity (like static) in us. Some people can affect lights at times when their electricity levels are higher/more potent/or something.
My brother and I have both noticed that lights will go off and on when we're around...but only sometimes and usually when we're not "trying" to make it happen. Neither of us knew that the other thought this happened, but while driving down the street together one night, at least 3 streetlamps went off as we passed, and back on as we got farther away. Then, all the lights at a gas station went off and on as we passed. It got us talking about it, and we realized that when together, we notice this happen quite often.
Wait...could I possibly be rambling any more?
