sugar, sugar

I went to lunch with the ladies at work (I'm the only male in the office). I'd heard gossip about the woman quoted in the entry below being a tight-wad and also having a sweet tooth. Both of these were confirmed amazingly when she ordered a water to drink, and asked someone at the table to hand her some sugar. She complained at only being given two packets. She reached out and grabbed six packets of sugar to mix with her one glass of water. She efficiently tore the ends off of three packets at a time. She knew what she was doing.

overheard

Here's half of a phone conversation I overheard at work today:

...yeah, he died...
...well he took two shots to the chest...
... I think the police found the two kids that did it...
...I'm not too worried anymore...
...I don't think it'll affect the property value in the area too much...
