    I used to observe columbus day by having the day off school. Now it’s meaningless to me like every other “holiday” I have to work through and get pissed off because I drove all the way to the bank to get change and they’re closed.

      Do you guys have change for a five?

      Sure what do you want?

      Please fill out this form and I’ll need two forms of ID

      Hold on I’ve got some bolt cutters back here somewhere …

      [clack]

      Hey Mary, this guy needs a pen

      I gave the supply cabinet keys to Carl. He’ll be back from lunch any minute now

      Hey Carl it’s Mary. We’ve got a gentleman here needs a pen. Are you headed back?

      … …. … …… …

      Oh gosh that’s terrible!

      … …. … . …. ……

      Okay I’ll let him know. [click] Yeah Hon, Carl should be heading back any minute now. He’s just over at the deli having a sandwich. He was having a bother with his car but he’s got the jumper cables and everything

      Can I get you a coffee or anything, Dear?

      No thanks … well sure.

      Oh drat! I forgot Mary had that second cup. Here I’ll just make some more.

      Say Mary, do you know where the coffee filters are?

      Should be right there with the coffee.

      Nope, not here. Well we can have Carl pick some up.
