Truncated transcript from my shift in the meat department today, and heres the set- up: I was in a PARTICULARLY foul mood today. Like a class 4 bad mood. It was all kinds of no good. It didnt help that the meat department radio (which is a cell phone running Pandora attached to a small set of amplified speakers) was playing weepy country music. I have no issue with weepy country music. In fact, I kind of dig weepy country music, but this was not the day. Oh, man. This. Was not. The day. Meat Cutter Rich: You have to have hope, Rogert (because in the meat department this is what they call me). Power of positive thinking. Its a thing; you should try it. Me: Bah. Hope. Hope ultimately ends in disappointment. Its bullshit. Seafood lead Michael Burr : No, brother, its true. If you think you can do it, you can do it. No bullshit. Rich: Its the truth. Smartass me: I believe I can fly. Burr : Then you can fly. Me: I believe I can touch the sky. Rich: Then you can touch the sky. Power of positive thinking, man. I have the book. I can bring it in if you want. Me: Does it have lots of pictures? Rich (cracking up): No, man. Theres no pictures. Me: Not. Interested. 30 seconds later this was playing on the meat department radio, and this is one of the many reasons why I love those guys: https://youtube/watch?v=GIQn8pab8Vc
