The Mysterious Effects of Short Term Karma
Tuesday. 3.25.08 11:12 pm
It all started when I was heading out of Walmart. I think it was the second time that I had been there that day. Coming in, I saw the homeless person with a sign waiting at the edge of the curb. I feel like I am like most people: sort of scared of homeless people, but I felt like God might like me to actually give the guy some money for once and so the combination led me to an ultimatum: "If there is still someone there when I get back, I'll give them money." So, my purchases in hand, I was driving out and I saw a woman sitting in the place where the old man had been. It wasn't the same person, I reasoned, but I was going to have to stop at the stop sign any way so I figured that I was kind of stuck.

I reached into my wallet and parsed out 4$. I leaned out the window and called to her. She came over, took the money, said, "God Bless you." and I was on my way.

My soul was probably in a good place when I left the Walmart that day, but I have to admit that I was feeling a little... stupid? I had been trying to manage my money better and it seemed like throwing it away on some homeless person wasn't exactly my best move, financially. It was a good thing, though, I argued. So I decided to just try and forget about it.

"Besides," I thought, "It's not like I'll go hungry."

After that I went about my day. I wrote up some stuff for book arts, took a walk, surfed the internet: usual stuff. I went to book arts, they liked my book a lot. I was pretty happy that they liked it. My professor was talking about some classes that I should think about for next year in the education department and where I might like to go to grad school. I had to cut him short because I was meeting my bible study at 6:30, but it was nice to have him excited about my future.

I met my bible study and, seeing as some of us were kinda hungry, we decided to go to Qudoba, a new place that had opened up downtown. I was pretty excited about it as I had heard they had good food and tried it at one of their Denver location. When we got there, I decided to go in on some nachos with another girl and so, after going through the humerous trial of trying to politely decide was we both wanted on it, came to the end of the line.

They were giving out free drinks to students, so we asked if we could have free drinks as students, but the girl there said that she could only give out one. It made sense, I mean, we were being kind of cheap, doubling up to begin with, but her manager was there and he asked if this was the first time we had been there. As I said, it's a new place and I had never been there, so I said, "no, we haven't", so he said that she should give us the two free drinks.

As he was punching it in, however, the girl must have typed in the wrong thing because he said, "I didn't tell you to do that.."

"What? Well... I can undo it," she suggested in a drawl frustrated way.

"No, it's okay, but I didn't tell you to do that," he repeated.

The girl turned and smiled at us then and said, "Well, since this is your first time here, you get your meal for free."

Sweet deal hunh? You know what is even stranger? My portion of the meal would have cost me 4$.

Wow
it's kind of erie how things like that work out. Going into this I was thinking it was bad karma, but what goes around, comes around and for you, it's a good thing :) Feels good doesn't it?
