New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe
another zodiac has gone around.

While you drank yourself high on hoping
and watched the ceiling spin from the ground.

Counting down from ten it's time
to make your annual prayer.

Secret santa in the sky
when will I get my share?

Then you tell yourself
what you want to hear.

Cause you have to believe.

This will be my year.

This will be my year...Semisonic

I was in the elevator with someone I've known for years and The Lemonheads came up. 
 
And I said, "Yeah, Evan Dando was my boyfriend in high school." 
 
And he said, "Wasn't he a lot of girl's boyfriend back then?"

And I said, "Not in Patten, Maine he wasn't!"
 
 Apparently he didn't know that I was from Maine.  After he asked me if I had grown up in a igloo he then said, "That far north?  So you must have been a diamond in the rough!"

It's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all week.

And on the side of nice errh, I guess this falls under weird, but today I left my desk to go get something to eat.  I ended up at a Deli that we all frequent.

Everytime I got to this deli I get the same thing.  For years I've gotten SAME thing.  I've never ordered anything else.  And every time I have a the same circular conversation which revolves around bread and my lack of interest in tomatoes.  Don't get me wrong.  I like tomatoes but I tend to find that tomatoes in restaurants are never fresh. 

I have to stand on my tiptoes to see over the counter top.  I say, "I'd like pepper cracked turkey on 12 grain with lettuce and mayo." 

"What kind of bread?" - Guy

"Twelve grain." - Me

"We only have 8 grain" - Guy

"That's fine" - Me

Then he waves it at me.

"Now what else?" -Guy

I repeat my order.

"Do you want tomatoes?" - Guy

"No thank you." - Me

"Just lettuce?" - Guy

"Yes please." - Me

"Mayo?" - Guy

"Yes."  - Me Mind you at this point I've told him about three times.
 
It's always the same guy.  He's got a heavy accent and a very big smile for me.

Well, he used to do this thing to my sandwich and my friend AC thought it was hysterical.  He stopped doing it a while ago.

But he did it again today.  Here's what he did...PLUS he charged me twenty cents less!        

It must have been the v neck t-shirt.
