This Really Happened
Posted By Kristabella on April 27, 2011
So I’m sick. I am battling some sort of sore throat or something. It might explain the extreme tiredness, as well. I think this is par for the course for me whenever I start taking public transit to work. I forget that I’ve just touched something 10,000 others have touched and then I lick frosting off my fingers. Or something.
Or maybe I’m sick because it has been rainy and gloomy in Chicago for the entire month of April. You think I am exaggerating, but I’m not.
Anyway, so because I’m sick, I stopped off at the grocery store on Tuesday night to pick up some zinc and Emergen-C to nip this shit in the bud. Here is the conversation I had with the pharmacist as I was searching for the Emergen-C.
Her: Can I help you find anything?
Me: Yeah, actually I’m looking for Emergen-C.
Her: Oh, we keep that behind the counter.
Me: (thinking “that’s odd, I don’t think you can make meth with it”) Oh, you do? OK.
Her: (looking at what was probably a puzzled face) You’re looking for the pill, right?
Me: Um…
Her: The emergency contraceptive?
Me: Um, no. The Vitamin C stuff for colds?
Her: Oh, that’s by the vitamins.
Good to know if I ever do need the Plan B, that I won’t get hassled at the grocery store pharmacy.

What an educational trip to the store!
So yeah, that conversation made me laugh, right as our CEO was walking into my cube. I had to explain that the people in my head were unusually funny today. Awesome.
I hope you feel better!
Haaaaaaa.
Also? This?
“I forget that I’ve just touched something 10,000 others have touched and then I lick frosting off my fingers. Or something.”
Made me wince and laugh at the same time.

It has been really craptastic weather-wise here too, so I feel your pain. We are supposed to get SNOW again today…
That’s HYSTERICAL. Also? I had no idea Plan B had a street name.
