Do you ever come across cashiers that seem like they hate you? Like, not just that they’re not super cheerful, but they look at you as if you just walked up and called them a cotton-headed ninnymuggins or something equally horrendous. I mean, I know I’m not the most likeable person (the dry humor’s not for everyone), but even I can’t offend someone within 15 seconds of meeting them.

I met one of those surly cashiers when I was buying this belt at Ann Taylor. She was quite annoyed that I didn’t want to purchase the one in the store that had a defect. Then I met another one at the grocery story last weekend. I’m not exaggerating when I say she threw my food in the bag. Good think I wasn’t buying eggs!

Anyway, I never really tattle or complain about grumpy cashiers, because those are pretty thankless jobs with low pay and you’re on your feet all day. There are plenty of reasons to be grumpy – maybe someone just told them about climate change. But sometimes I just can’t help but wonder if I’m putting out a bad vibe (or smell). You guys would tell me, right??

Fun fact about me: I have a freaky talent for finding four-leaf clovers. I used to find them all the time as a kid. Even if I wasn’t trying to find them – I could just be walking along, glance down, and oh! There’s one! This is not a joke. It happened multiple times.

As an adult, I haven’t really added much to my clover collection. Maybe because my eyes are farther from the ground now than they were when I was 10 (but only slightly). Or maybe because I live in a city so there’s less green in my environment, or (most likely) I’m just a boring grownup with too many responsibilities who’s forgotten how to feel fulfilled by doing things that aren’t “productive.”

Last weekend we took a walk around Broad Ripple Park and there were tons of clover patches, so I decided to get reacquainted with my inner child, and whaddayaknow, I’ve still got it! Found 2 lucky clovers in about 15 minutes of searching. Not gonna lie, it was pretty fun. 🙂

So consider this my way of encouraging you to do something pointless that brings you joy. Good luck.
