Spare Change

Did a long run of 14 miles on Sunday, which for the week ending Jan 25 gave me a total of 31 miles and I think thats about right on track at this point. Felt as though I could have gone a little further if necessary and averaged at around an 8:30-8:45 per mile pace, probably a little faster than it should have been but still ok for now. Looking to possibly run a 15K race on Super Bowl Sunday morning and it should be interesting to see how that goes. Healthwise, everything has been pretty good, some blisters and some minor aches and pains but a newly ordered pair of sneakers should alleviate a lot of that.
At Dunkin' Donuts Drive thru this AM (as my buddy Fronge likes to say, "They F... You at the Drive thru) and the total rang up at $2.19. Not wanting a fistful of change, I handed the woman a $5 dollar bill and 2 dimes. Now if Pam were with me she would get aggravated and say that I'm trying to cause problems by making them do simple math. Sometimes, yes that is true. Although, I'm not causing problems I'm merely testing them. How can I count on you to properly make me a large cream with 3 equals if you can't figure out that on a bill that costs $2.26 and I hand you $3.01 that I need 3 of those larger shiny silver coins back (there better not be any copper in that pile.) The woman today at Dunkin Donuts hands me a hodgepodge of coins and dollar bills that don't even remotely equal enough change. It's not the fact that the woman couldn't do the math (the registers now do all the math for you) it's the fact that she didnt care to give me the right amount back, that she was annoyed that I was interrupting her 6AM text messaging. Do you think this woman's friends when they play Monopoly ever let her be the Banker? "Ummm Rita hey I just passed go and you gave me a few of the pink 5's, 2 orange 500's, 2 hotels, the thimble and what I think is the lead pipe from Clue. I'm pretty sure that's not right."
