Upsetting Finds...

I work a lot of over night shifts, 11pm till 7am. It's not hard, I really enjoy my job. Today, however, I couldn't go home right away to go to sleep. I had to come to the library at school (Penn State Harrisburg) to work on my final paper for 18th Century America (topic: Republican Motherhood). All I had been thinking about in the last hours of my shift was going to Dunkin' Donuts to get a large coffee (three cream; two splenda) and a multi-grain bagle with veggie cream cheese. That is ALL I wanted!! I got in line (horrible at the Carlise Pike DD because of the location) [p.s. DD= Dunkin Donuts, to me it also = Domestic Disturbance, Drunk Driving, & Designated Driver; make your best choide per the context of the topic at hand]. I'm on the road and I take a bite of my delicious bagle when I see out of the corner of my eye a small black hair!!!! FML! I now can not eat that half of the bagle. It's tainted to me. Finding a hair is the worst when you are really hungry and really craving something. I have little money folks, I don't get paid a lot and I have a car payment and an apartment to pay for. It's not like I can buy another bagle and the Carlise Pike makes it impossible to turn around and go back to your destination. So I chucked the bagle and went to my coffee, so far no hairs have been found in the drink.

This reminds me of the worst time I found hair and a dust bunny in food that I ordered. I was on my way to pick up my sister at the Baltimore/Washington Airport. I was hungry but waited till I got her to stop for some food. We got off an exit that assured me that there were placed to eat but after a 5 minute drive off the freeway we were still looking for a fast food place. Finally we found an Arbys and ordered a sandwhich and those loaded potatoe bites! We each had a potatoes bite and when I went for a second there was a huge dust bunny with human hair all over!! HOW THE F**k can you miss that? I understand one hair but if your job revolved around filling a small carton of loaded potatoe bites you really messed that shit up. Luckily we were still in the parking lot so I marched in and asked to speak to a manager. He wasn't even fased. In fact he didn't apologize but just gave me a new order of loaded potatoe bites...

I may be in the middle of a quarter life crisis but if I was a fast food worker I'd at least do my job correctly...
