That joke was just nast. I can't imagine why they gave it so much build-up.
Because it was nast. The guy who ended up telling it to me stressed he didn't think it was funny. He much preferred the one with the herpes and the frog.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, that was nice. The lady at Equifax pointed out a couple of accounts I didn't know about, opened in January along with the fraudulent accounts I knew about already. Hooray for more calls to make. @@

My god, Jesse. And you were alerted to all this by a store clerk? It does make one want to check one's credit report on a semi-regular basis, because who knows if a conscientious and eagle-eyed employee will notice?
I looked at my credit report a month or so ago, otherwise I'd be paranoid. I do need to close some of the accounts on it, though. Way unused.

If I heard the Lord right
You know, pronouncements that you know God's plans are somewhat undermined by caveats like, "Now, I was doing something else at the same time -- you know how God goes on -- so I wasn't really paying attention, but I think he said..."
Also, now that he comes to think of it, God may not hate gays and unmarried mothers after all; it might have been days and unharried mothers. God's not much of a morning person, and after what a hard time he had with his firstborn, he's bitter about parents who seem to have it easy.

Great. I did put off most of the car repairs. Now I'm looking at thousands of dollars of "not covered" medical charges.
The week? She remains the same. At best.

Maybe God has it in for Pat Robertson and keeps telling him stuff that will make him sound nuts.

You need a change of luck. I recommend some luck changing ritual. Maybe you need to punch people in the face at krav in a different order or something. While hopping on one foot, and circling around your class chanting "Hinky pink a dinky dink."
Preferably while somebody is filming that.

Argh, ita. Your this week is Dead To Me. Next week? On Notice.
And you were alerted to all this by a store clerk?
I think not a clerk, a back-office employee. Not sure why they flagged it, but the account was opened in January, and they called in April.

I deserve sex, alcohol, and gifts to make up for this week. Instead I have a pain in my shoulder.
