I Pulled a Winona Ryder!
But I swear there were no prescription or illicit drugs involved.
Today, I was at the 7-Eleven getting my regular Diet Coke Big Gulp (just the 2nd size up, not the HUGE one) and I was thinking about how I was really getting my business, organized and systematized so I don't have to work as much (more on that tomorrow and next week) . I finished pouring the drink and walked right out without paying!
I didn't even realize it until I was part way down the street and thought, "Did I pay?" I looked in my wallet and I had the same amount of cash in there as when I entered the store. Holy smokes! I shoplifted a Big Gulp!
I hurried back to ask the lady at the counter if I'd paid. She said no, but that I had looked at her and her manager, smiled and walked about. Because they recognized me from my regular Big Gulp trips, they figured I was just running out and coming back to pay. So, of course, I paid and left. Then I spend the next 15 minutes wondering I'm insane, a kleptomaniac or both...but I got over it soon enough. How embarrassing, though.
Anyway, if you don't think I'm too nuts, I'll be back tomorrow with more details for you on my organizing and working less project.

Wow how ironic,

Well, Jason. You don't live too far from me. Come pick me up and we'll clear out the whole city of Vancouver!
