Long Time, No See
This actually has two separate stories.
Story #1 happened last week and few weeks prior. A few weeks ago, a woman and her son pulled up to order donuts. Took me a moment to realize I knew them, I couldn't put a name to the face until 15min later. They were the mother and brother of a former co-worker of mine from highschool when I taught chess with a local organization. They came by again last week and I talked about knowing her son, she asked for my name, and then recognized me after that. I asked if she could give my regards to the son I knew before she left.
Story #2 happened yesterday. I was working the front-counter when a woman entered the store. We looked at each other for a couple of seconds until we recognized one another, we were classmates in a statistic/research method class we both took in 2014 and we were in the same study-group. It was a pretty unforgiving class, all the tests/quizzes were all cumulative and the professor (who was one of my favorites) graded tough. I hadn't seen her since then either. She had moved to Mexico at the end of the semester. Her apartment she shared with her family burned down and they were left with nothing, so they went to live with family until they could re-establish themselves. The class had a small donation thing we ran to get some basic needs met for her before she left. It was nice seeing her after three years and we chatted briefly about what's happened over the years. She's in a nursing program now and her colleagues tasked her with donut-duty yesterday. You never know who you'll run into working in the food-industry.
Trash Dumpster Wildlife
There are two types of animals I've heard about rummaging through our dumpster. The first are honeybees. They're attracted to the glazes, jellies, and fillings we use in our donuts. Anytime your take the trash out, you have to chuck all the trash out in one go and run, or risk getting stung to shit. The other was told by Mother. She talked about taking the trash out and hearing hissing. She looked around frantically until she looked up onto the fence-gate surrounding the dumpster. She saw a female opossum and its babies riding on her back hissing at her. She left the trash on the ground and went back inside to work with a "fuck that" attitude towards the whole scenario. lol
