When things are slow at work, my coworkers chit-chat about online shoe deals.
To drown out the noise, I put on my headphones and watch webinars and online university courses about writing.
Recently, I needed to buy shoes, so I went to Academy for my New Balance 659’s in size nine and a half.
There was one box of them at the store.
I opened it. It contained two worn-out sneakers.
Some asshole had worn and walked out that pair.
So, I went to Amazon and bought the pair.
It was cheaper and easier.
And the cats got two boxes.
