Photo, Again

I don't know if it's because we have new people, or if it's because we have been busy, but I find myself answering IC3s and spending too much time at the register.

Today I managed my time well. I was able to get all my chores done, and I didn't really have to rush or skip steps. I was pretty proud of myself. Wish someone else was.

When I pulled into the only parking spot left along the back of the lot, I suddenly heard a loud pop. I scared the hell out of the kid who was waiting for the bus, and I thought I popped my tire. Turns out I just ran over an fucking aerosol can. Of disinfectant spray. From another store. I was super-salty, and I was totally frazzled. Before I went inside, I made sure the girl at the bus stop was ok. It took me about an hour to fully recover. (My tire is fine, thanks for asking.)

I rung up this woman who told her kid that he spent so much time at 'that house' that he smells like cat piss. And she asked him to step away from her. I recognized the kid from a while ago; he would come in unsupervised, wearing a bathrobe, and being intimidated by the other kids. It made me really sad. And now him and his mom were here, and she was a lot less white trash than I was expecting. And she gave me a recipe for removing the cat piss smell on (your kid's) clothes. She got the recipe from her daughter who got a chemistry degree. (The mom said she paid for the degree, and her daughter is probably using it for evil (a.k.a a drug problem), so she felt she could get a piss-removing recipe out of the experience.)
Load clothes in washer with soap, as usual. Wait until washer fills, then add a cup of lemon juice and...a 1/2 (?) cup of baking soda. I told her I like Nature's Miracle, but her plan was cheaper.
We did talk briefly about the importance of cleaning one's house, at least enough so that one's guests don't go home smelling like disgusting.

There was a guy who told me he pre-paid for his photos, but we had no record of that. And he tried to name-drop, but he kept getting mixed up. If he was trying to scam me, he didn't do a good job. Although I did punch in a belated coupon code for him.
