general Something funny that happened yesterday

I’ve been home sick from work today and yesterday. My nose is a veritable fountain, and I feel like I have a fever, though it doesn’t register on the thermometer. I’ve been sleeping a lot and venturing downstairs to eat and whine.

Yesterday I got my White Castle cheeseburgers out of the freezer for lunch. I tore one end off the box, and four cheeseburgers came out. There are supposed to be six in a box, and I wanted six, and I was really put out. I cooked four, and I ate four, and I tore the side panel and the “contact us” information off the box, and I went to the website trying to find out how to complain.

I mentioned this to Lin. “There were only four! Why would that be?!”

Her response was, “Because I ate two of them and you opened the wrong end of the box?” Pause. “Really used to living alone, aren’t you?”
