I got a couple of salads today at the Wendy's at Poplar and Yates to take over to Sonya's office for lunch. They put them in a bag and handed them to me. I got to Sonya's office and we opened them up. The lettuce was black with rot. Unappetized, I took the salads back on my way back to work.

"I got these salads earlier," I told the girl behind the counter, "and they're bad."

"Bad?"

"Bad. Rotten. Black with rot."

"You want another salad? Or your money back?"

"I'd like my money back, please."

She wandered away from the cash register and gave the salads to someone I could not see. Then she came back and gave me money. And then, just as I was leaving, someone came into view and put the salads back in the refrigerator.

We have these free packs of instant oatmeal at work. Yesterday I didn't have time to eat breakfast so I ate some of the oatmeal. It was so good.

I've had two packs of oatmeal today.

How strange. At the age of 34, I'm developing an oatmeal jones.

That would be a cool name, though. Darryl "Oatmeal" Jones.
