MADE MY DAY!!!

Some people can just make your day. Tonight at work, a gentleman came in and started up one of the most interesting conversations I have ever had. It went a little something like this.

Man: excuse me but where are your glasses that are covered under Indian Affairs.

Kalinda: we'll sir we actually don't have a set selection of frames to choose from, I can figure out what you are covered for and then we can select a frame that best suites you and is covered.

Man: oh man that would be wonderful, I like that idea, I want one of those one's that has nothing there.

Kalinda in her head: nothing there, hum what is this man talking about.

Man: You know the kind that has that wire or something in the bottom.

Kalinda: ah a semi-rimless frame, yeah we have lots like that.

Man: oh good let's go look at some, you know what I am running for chief counselor next year, and I think I am going to get it, do you know what chief counselor is.

Kalinda: No, I am sorry I don't.

Man: oh that is to bad.

The gentlemen then proceeded to try on some glasses, but decided instead of a semi-rimless look he wanted a buddy holly look.

Man: So do you have any buddy holly looks, with running for Chief Counselor I need to look smart, and sophisticated.

Kalinda: Yeah we have a couple frames that give you that buddy holly look. Here try these one's on. Oh and this pair is also a nice semi rimless pair give this one a try as well.

Man: oh yeah I like this one, set these aside for me and I will come tomorrow and get them, and maybe I will get two pairs, but I will look for the other pair tomorrow.

Kalinda: Great I can do that for you. I hope you have a great day sir and thanks for stopping in.

The gentlemen then proceeds to sit in one of the chairs

Man: This is the best CD ever man, do you know this CD.

Kalinda: No I don't who is it?

Man: it is Eminem, best CD ever, I carry it around in my pocket so I can listen to it whenever I want.

Kalinda: oh yeah, I have heard lots of his songs.

Man: yeah it has that one of him with Rhianna on it, man she is hot!!! Hey look what else I got here.

The man then proceeds to show me a toque that has the Ottawa senators symbol on the front.

Kalinda: oh ah Ottawa senators toque, very nice.

Man: yeah most people think I am crazy, because it is not an oilers hat, but screw the oilers, Ottawa Senators rock. Although Oilers have a good young team right now, they will be good again soon. Yeah I know a lot of famous people, I have meet many hockey players, you know that Jarome Iginla's father is a lawyer in Edmonton.

Kalinda: No I did not.

Man: yeah I know him.

Kalinda: really that is cool, I dont' know anybody famous, I once saw Arnold Schwarzenegger about 10 feet away from me in a Hummer, but that is pretty much the extent of it.

Man: well now you do know somebody famous.

Kalinda: oh really, yourself I take it.

Man: yeah I am famous, or at least I am going to be, that is my plain. You know if I make Chief Counselor I will make $156,000 a year.

Kalinda: wow that would be nice.

Two gentlemen then proceed to walk by who know this man, which makes it even funnier.

Man: you see I am famous already everybody knows who I am.

He then proceeds to show both of the men his ottawa senators toque and tell them the except same speal he just told me.

Kalinda in her head: I don't want to be judgmental but is this guy drunk, or is he like this all the time?

After about ten minutes of talking and me trying not to laugh my head off and make it totally obvious I am listening in on the conversation. The three men start to walk out of my Optical.

Man: Man you guys I am so hung over from last night.

and the Man that loved to boast to everybody about his Ottawa senators toque left it sitting in my Optical, for me to set aside and give to him tomorrow as he comes back and purchase his frame that has "nothing there", and a buddy holly pair that will make him look "smart, and sophisticated" as he runs for Chief Counselor.

What a perfect end to a very boring day.
