fish wish

today, today, today is Thursday and I work late.

And so, like so many Thursdays before, I went thru the drive-thru at the nearest BK and ordered the "Fish Sandwich with sauce only and a medium orange soda". Is it bad that the guy working the window recognizes me by my voice and order? Is it troubling that I have my $3.91 ready before I even leave the house? I mean, truly, I'm not crazy, I like to mix it up now and then - I sometimes order a medium cherry icee.

And, come on, what's with the fish? It's not Friday, I'm not Catholic. Maybe subconsciously I figure I need the "brain food." Or given the state of my current worklife - there is nothing subconscious about it.

For example: Why would someone who has their 1040EZ all filled out and done need, NEED, NEED to have the AARP folks e-file it on the last day of tax help in the last 1/2 hour of their appointments? When this person does not have an appointment! These poor imminently helpful tax people have been showing up here since February and taking appointments for 4 hours a day and have to deal with the lucy-come-latelies in the final hours!

Why not just stick it in an envelope, stamp it and mail it off? I mean, the form is already filled in for goodness sakes!

whatever. He should have had fish for lunch.
