Glass Half Empty Mentality or Half Full?

Every Wednesday Steph takes out the recycling and I take out the trash. Being the responsible one the recycling sometimes becomes my job too. If I’m not secretly shoving it all in a bag and sneaking it with the trash then i actually will take time to separate it out. I can’t remember which of us took it on this week, but one of us didn’t measure up. Steph and I try to be good citizens, and really wanted to woo the recycling guy with our sorting skills. Instead he leaves us this generic note. It wasn’t even signed. Coward.

If you look really closely you’ll see about 20 people locked out of the LA Fitness. Saturdays it opens at 8am and when I pulled up at 8:03am it was clear I wasn’t taking my fitness as serious as I should. One woman even had a toothbrush and was using it in the parking lot. When the gym finally opened and I was being scanned in the girl working who was also texting said to the other one “Ugh. It’s like 8 o’clock on a Saturday. Like none of them have anything else to do?” To which I would have replied “Ugh. It’s like you’re getting paid for being late to work and lacking social skills,” but she hadn’t finished her text message and I didn’t want to be rude and interrupt.

If you look over my shoulder there’s a woman in her mid 70’s sitting on the curb. Is she waiting for a ride or is this a case of a domestic dispute? She looked sassy so I can only assume someone with a 1 too many gold chains, fur coat, and cane taught her some manners and kicked her to the curb.

I love ownership in beliefs and this man’s shirt made me really appreciate his confidence and trust in Jesus saving him from anything life throws at him. Until I noticed the chain hanging from his belt. In my experience those chains are usually connected to a pocket knife of some kind. Hmmm. His shirt should really say “Jesus Saves, but just in case he doesn’t back off I’m packin’.”

Love or a case of sexual harassment? His wing placement appears low which insinuates ownership rather than companionship.
