Pedro El Awesomeo needs Bombs's blog: "Encephalon"

This blog will be below the typical standards you have come to expect from a Pedro blog.

Today was Employee Appreciation Day, for those uninitiated Employee Appreciation Day comes every two weeks at most places, when they give you that little envelope containing your thanks for a job done (well or not.)  As per my pattern, I like to take care of the grocery shopping on Employee Appreciation Day.   Seeing how it's a Thursday, you avoid the crowds and generally more merchandise is available.  As I am getting ready to leave for the day, I ask my co-worker if there is anything going on that I should get involved with.  This was a mistake as it ended up keeping me at work for another two hours. 

While I could accept an additional half hour, maybe even an hour, without killing my schedule of Gym, Dinner & Tv, Fubar, read, bed, two hours was a little devastating to my plans.  I did manage to get the grocery shopping done fairly quickly, but I was still way behind schedule. Something I noticed when shopping;  the "Hot" salsa was twenty cents cheaper than the "Medium" salsa.  This puzzled me a little bit.  Are cheap bastards slightly less perturbed by spicy food?  Is it racial (i.e. those who are of a certain race that enjoys spicy foods have less money?)  Not being totally sure, I bought a medium and a hot, figuring I could mix the two and have the best of both worlds. 

Another drawback to going later is that I bought a little more junk then I should have.  I have mentioned that I have a drinking problem before, I didn’t mention my other vice:  Popcorn.  No lie, when I was thirteen years old I seriously asked for a popcorn popper for Christmas.  So I bought a not so bad thing of 100 calorie microwave bags, then a not as good for you 10 pack of regular microwave popcorn, and then a jar of popcorn for regular or air popping.  I didn’t go too crazy on the other bad stuff, I bought some frozen pizzas but the low cal ones, and a bag of pretzels. 

Hmmm, slight derailment here, it seems many of my vices start with P:  Pop, Pretzels, Pizza, Pornography, Pugilism…

Anyhow, massively behind schedule, I loaded up and headed for home.  I was still in my office attire, which isn’t the best for the unloading of foodstuffs, so I figured I would just get the frozen stuff in first, then change into my gym clothes and finish the unloading.  It went off without a hitch, until my demonstration of “World’s Strongest Grocery Unloader” had a slight flaw which caused a four pack of Star Kist tunafish falling out on the ground, so I did a little almost dance like move to get down low enough to pick it up off the ground and put it in my pocket (gym clothes are loose enough)  

So even though I had a long ass day, and could only get a half an hour on the elliptical (did get 3.5 miles go me) before it got too late and I came home so that I could treat you, my avid follower with this less than normal quality blog.
