As a more light hearted post, I'd like to share some of the funny and absurd happening that have happened so far. For those who haven't heard the story already, I had been in desperate need of a lunchbox. I was tired of bringing my lunch in those plastic sacks where everything gets squished. As such, I thought the thrift store would have just what I needed. Upon arriving, I headed straight to the bin that had shoulder bags, fanny packs, purses, and one lunchbox. Perfect! It was a bit light blue with some shine to it, but it would suffice. After telling the cashier how happy I was I found the last lunchbox in the bin, she gave me a funny look and then just shrugged it off.
The next day at work some coworkers noticed the change in equipment and asked what brand it was. To be honest, I never thought to check. Arctic Zone? Polar Freeze? All those seem somewhat familiar from my middle school days. Upon opening the lunch box, however, my heart sank.... CLINIQUE?! I had bought a makeup bag? I guess that explains the light blue with glitter...... For the following two weeks, I would carry the bag inside a plain black shoulder sling just to hide it from the inevitable snickers of others. Needless to say, the 'lunchbox' has now been given to a housemate and I have legitimate lunchbox, one with navy blue coloring and absolutely no glitter... or mascara.
On a side note, I just saw this on youtube and it made my day:
