What goes in...must come out

Sometimes life is just funny. Like yesterday, I was walking to the BART station after work and I see this homeless guy talking to a woman. The guy was asking her for money but she said she only had an apple. Then the guy yells, "Woman, are you blind??? Don't you see I ain't got no teef???" And he opens his mouth, and sure enough...all you can see are his gums.

Then this morning, I walked into Longs behind this pretty large (actually very very large) woman. At this Longs, there's the wheel thing with bars where you have go through. I was thinking to myself, "uh oh...i don't think she's gonna make it through" And sure enough...she gets stuck. Her friend that walked in before her was trying to pull her and they both kept looking at me like I was supposed to help them by pushing from behind. I didn't know what to do, so I just left =P Was I supposed to help? Isn't that kind of weird if I did?

I work on the 23rd floor of a fairly tall building. But something about the elevation makes my ears go retarded. The second I step off the elevator onto the floor I work on, I can't hear any more. Everything just sounds muffled and all I can hear is myself breathe. I can't hear when people talk to me and I feel bad to always ask them to repeat themselves. So when someone comes up to talk to me, I just slap on a pleasant smile and nod like I can understand them. But when it comes to someone asking me to do something, I'm in trouble. Even though I can't really hear what the person is saying, I stil slap on that stupid smile of mine and insert a "sure", "ok", and "got it" here and there. But when I get back to my desk, I'm like "oh crap...what am I supposed to do?" So far, I've been able to figure things out on my own...not too shabby =) But one of these days...my retarded ears are gonna bite me in the butt.
