Joyful purchase
I'm fully aware that I shop like I'm 12 and my parents are away for the weekend, but whatever. I embrace this about myself.
These are the most awesome marshmallows EVER. They're the size of a large egg (see photo for proof)!
They make me happy and that is what truly matters.
Thank you Jet-Puffed. You know me so well.

Why I love working where I do
There are folks here who are ballsy enough to do the things I only dream of doing.

The phone call vs. the face-to-face
My bank account got hacked last week. Some thievin' yahoo took $246 out using my account number thinking I wouldn't notice (what am I, a Rockefeller?).
Asshole.
But I digress.
As soon as I saw the charge, I immediately called the bank. The woman who took my call didn't seem to... well, give a damn.
I couldn't get it across to her that I did not authorize the payment.
Then she asked me "If this happens again, do you think it'll be the same $246 amount?"
WHUCK??? How the fuck would I know?
I told her I wanted to shut down my accounts before any more money disappeared and she didn't want to do it because then my money wouldn't be available to me (it wouldn't be available to anybody else either, which was my whole point).
I finally hung up and decided to walk over to the bank to have a heart attack in person.
Hello, 180-degree turn!
They were so nice at the branch. They changed my account numbers as fast as they could, promised to get my $246 back (which they did), and were so apologetic about the whole thing.
This just verifies what I've always believed: hang up the phone and have a face-to-face chat whenever possible.
If they can't look you in the eye, they don't care.
(Especially if they're working the phones for Wells Fargo.)
Oh, and thieves suck.
Asshole.

A happy-birthday toast
To my father (not to be confused with Dad, who is a step-dad, but my Dad all the same), who would have been 66 today.
It's amazing for me to realize that at this point he's been gone longer than he was on this earth. It was a short but meaningful life.
Happy Birthday to you, Pops!

I offered to pick these up for Beau
In case he wanted to give the drag-queen lifestyle a go.
He was not amused.
They were on sale! I thought they were kind of fabulous.

The most annoying thing about IKEA
People put their feet all over the furniture. It's filthy. And so rude.
Also, this tube of crab spread worries me.

The most useful class I took in high school
Typing.
I shit you not.
It's a skill I use every single day.
It made college a lot easier too.
Those of you with kids should make them take typing. They'll thank you for it.
This boring-yet-useful post was brought to you--quickly and accurately--by typing.

For Pete's sake! I just want a Diet Pepsi!
It's been a busy week, and today I had to beg Beau for some money for an uber-healthy vending-machine lunch.
He had three singles (which is three more than I had).
But one was a conspiratorial dollar.
C'mon, man! Let me be.
If you're going to deface money (against the law, btw), it should be funny, like this one (affixed to my kitchen fridge)!
