An Endless Pattern

So today I realized that all I do is work, go to school, work, go to school, barely have time to sleep, and then work and go to school all over again. I have two jobs, not to jobs or too jobs for those of you who constantly use the wrong version. I like them both, but it would be so much easier if someone just handed me some money every once in awhile... oh yeah... that happened today. So what had happened was.... I was working at Shattuck Market... yup you guessed it, on Shattuck. And this guy came in and intorduced himself as Crazy Dan. He admitted that he was a regular at this shit hole of a party store and asked to buy some lottery tickets. I asked him which ones he wanted and he told me to pick. So I pick him two different tickets and he stands at the counter to scratch them. Now it's not like we were busy so I guess it was okay... but just this once. He uses one of the lucky pennies in the take-a-penny-leave-a-penny thingy and wins! Not just like five dollars or 20 dollars... no 100 fricken dollars! Holy shit! So Crazy Dan scratches the next ticket and wins fricken 250 more dollars. WTF?! I should have bought these tickets that I picked! So I give him his un-earned money and he hands me a twenty. Totally unnessecary but I was not going to refuse! No sirree! After all that excitement, it was back to work, until 9ish. Just to come home and start the pattern all over again. Tiny bit-o-sleep (kinda reminds me of that candy, ya know, a bit-o-honey) and then school in the morning and work tomorrow night. Just wish me good luck... .I'll make it.
