Called Uber after the second episode ended. No trouble here. In fact, I got the same chatty man both runs. He picked me up for work in 9 minutes and got me there just in time. Took 10 to pick me up going home. No trouble either way other than part of East Clinton was closed for tree removal.
No trouble at work, either. I did accidentally knock over a glass vase with a hyacinth bulb at one point and had to clean it up, which put me briefly behind on carts. Otherwise, we were off-and-on steady. The next major holiday is St. Patrick's Day, which not everyone celebrates. The only other thing going on right now is March Madness. By the time it started to pick up later in the day, I was almost done.
Had a lot of groceries to pick up after work. Restocked granola, granola bars, yogurt, soda, chicken, and cans of tuna. Had online coupons for apples, a free bag of Acme generic sliced Swiss cheese, Poppi probiotic soda, and brownie cookies. They still had those dollar bags of oranges leftover from last week. They were so delicious and juicy and sweet, I had to get another bag.
After I got home, I changed, then put everything away while watching two Bowery Boys movies on Tubi. Slip and Sach are Lucky Losers when their broker boss supposedly commits suicide and they want to know why. The duo learn he had heavy gambling debts to the owner of an illegal gambling house who had been cheating to take money from wealthy patrons. They learn how to cheat at gambling themselves from a street busker in order to help their friend Gabe Moreno take him and his sexy moll down.
Fighting Fools from a few years earlier is even darker. This time, the Boys search for the brother of a friend of theirs who died from a hit in the boxing ring. He dropped out of boxing when he wouldn't take a dive, but Slip convinced him to rejoin the game to help his family. His original crooked manager still wants a piece of him, and even kidnaps his younger brother to force him to take that dive. Slip, Sach, and the other boys make sure the match goes on with no shenanigans.
Finished the night at YouTube with tonight's Match Game marathon. Many contestants on this show hit some very lucky answers, from handsome gym teacher Ron Valenti to the funny older lady who insisted she was a "new kid on the block" and requested a kiss from Gene. Others brought along good luck charms. One lady had a pet rock and gave another to Richard Dawson. Pretty Chris had a tiny stuffed bear. There was the lady who brought a whole pile of tiny toys from her children, and the one with a little stuffed duck. The lady on a recently-rediscovered nighttime episode definitely thought Richard was her good-luck charm when she barely beat a genial Asian man and he helped her win big money.
You'll have good luck watching this delightfully hilarious marathon full of shamrocks and shenanigans!
