Overheards and random thoughts
Sep. 1st, 2011 07:12 pmToday I left work a little late. On the way out, I was waylaid by the Head Monkey (who wanted to tell me stuff I didn't care about regarding the air conditioner) and the Hilarious Bastard (who wanted to tell me stuff I didn't care about regarding Sunday's music).
When I finally got free of them and headed for my car, I saw a bill lying in the parking lot. I picked it up. It was a twenty.
I thought: Hm. Probably this belongs to one of those two, but if I take it back and ask them, I'll get waylaid for another long conversation. But I really couldn't bring myself to put it in my pocket and go. So -- I dropped it back where I found it.
Guess time really is money.

Overheards, mostly kidlet-related this time:
Me: Oh, listen, it's Madonna. The Lady Gaga of my generation.
Kidlet: That's Madonna?
Long pause to listen.
Me: Her voice was never the main thing about her.
Kidlet: I guess not.
