susandennisWhy is it that during winter, stores just love to crank up the heat to broiling knowing that shoppers will have worn coats into the store. Yet in summer they get all Save the World Green and turn the air conditioning down to We Don't Want You To Think We Even Have Air Conditioning??? Fuck.
So I'm hot but I'm good. I did actually have a good time wandering around looking in real stores as opposed to online stores. Kind of fun for a change.
A woman in JoAnn's fabrics standing in the checkout line behind me said 'Do you have a coupon?' I said no and she pulled out a 10% off everything coupon! I had $50 worth of stuff so when I checked out I took her a $5 bill which I had to insist she take and finally got her with 'put it in her piggy bank' - her being this really kind of cute about 3 year old with her.
I tried to buy gas three times on the way home. The first place wanted me to go inside to authenticate. NFW. Too hot. The second place didn't take credit cards - only debit and cash. I finally hit pay dirt with the third place. Cheese and Crackers - not sure it should be that difficult...
My project manager sent me an email this morning saying no work today, maybe some tomorrow. When I got home there was a note saying 'I lied, here's some.' Perfect cause really I can do it now or do it later or do it tomorrow but I got it to do when I want. Nice.
I think I'll do it now. And the Mariners are winning!
