Connection

I walked into the convience store looking for a Mountain Dew. As I went up to the counter I was surprised to see about 6 people behind the counter. In my moment of confusion as to whether they were all at registers, a man in his mid 20's smiled at me. I smiled back and put my purchases on the counter. I noticed his name was Christian and thought, "I wonder if he is a Christian?" He was very handsome. As my debit card was processing, I was humming a song by Seventh Day Slumber that I had been listening to in the car. "Will you rescue me? And take me far away..." and as he handed me my receipt, he finished "...from this shattered life." I smiled big and said, "Exactly." And walked out. I was half tempted to go back in and ask for his number. I just wanted to savor that moment, so I didn't.

In other news, I turned down the Intel job for one that will make as much $$ with far fewer hours of work even though it is further to get to work. I am driving trucks to pick up and deliver batches of mail from Post Office to Post Office. I aced my driving test yesterday, along with an inch of paperwork. I also had to get fingerprinted and passport photos for my ID, which I picked up today.
