I generally don't bitch about the weather - it isn't CT weather. However, this rain is too much - it should be tapering off , we should not be looking at the hills and wondering if they are going to fall on us.

Really good news, vw! all around hoorays.

Oh! and Andi and I went to the grocery store on the other side of town a bit ago. They had 16 ounce bottles of Wishbone Carb Options Blue Cheese salad dressing for $1.39. Both Andi and myself like blue cheese, so I bought six. After checkout I read the slip, and they were priced $2.59 each. I said "Waitaminute!" and the clerk ran to check out the shelf.

She came back and said "You were wrong...." Then smiled and said, "no. you were right," and got the manager.

It turns out that they have a policy about refunding the total price of the product when the scanner is found to be wrong. Not just on one, but how many were rung in wrong.

I got $15 and change back. Wooot!

Yay VW!

Great news vw!

So very happy for you, vw!

Yay for good news VW!

snickers at JZ and Perkins

In David/Rachel synchronicity, my daughter called him "RA-CHEL" this morning with as much disdain as her 14 year old self could muster. And he just laughed. Which resulted in her pouting. Well played, my boy, well played.

ION, it's finally started to rain like the weather people predicted. Sadly this means that the street outside the ofice is flooded. I imagine I will only be able to enter my car by getting in on the passenger side and sliding over. This? Not easily accomplished in my car. Hummmm... maybe I don't need lunch. I've got chocolate, do I really need anything with so-called nutrition?

Perkins, no no no. The deadline was a seasonal deadline, not a daily one; I'm not sure about beth, but I know for a fact that Hec has been bitching about the rotten weather since February. If you can provide written proof (in triplicate) of having previously bitched about the rotten weather, then you're in the clear.

Huh. I have three responses to this, and I can't decide which to use:
1) Jeez, some people. You probably want me to have it notorized, too.
2) Now, do you really want to get into a paperwork war with a lawyer?
3) You know, I'm really okay with that, since I can wear a bacon bandage on one of the papercuts you so clearly want me to get, and a sushi bandage on the other.

Maybe people should vote.

Although any bacon-related incidents are still all your fault.

This one was easier. Nuh and Uh.

Sometimes salty snacks are a nice counterpoint for chocolatey goodness, Dawn.

Yay VW!!

Dear Universe,

Thank you for getting out of that bitchy slump you were in. I'm sure your job is quite difficult and thank-less at times but, really, there's a whole bunch of folks on this planet and, IMHO, the bad shit should be distributed a bit more evenly. May I suggest that you think of it like making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? No, really, stick with me here. Do you like taking a bite and getting all bread? No. I don't either. Which is why spreading the peanut butter and the jelly over the bread evenly is so important. And, well, the same thing goes for people.

Thanks for listening,

Me

P.S. I heard a bunch of neo-cons making fun of you...

This is why god invented chocolate-covered potato chips.

Speaking of which, I am HUNGRY. (Every time I decide to save money and calories by bringing my lunch to work, I forget just how small these frozen meals are. But if I go out and buy a snack, that defeats the whole purpose of bringing my lunch! What to do, what to do....)
