Yeah. Because apparently making sure the one other guy in the lane was able to get out swiftly with his $3 single rose is more important than relieving the backup of four-cart deep grocery lanes where people are spending high double or low triple digits each.

I'm going back after work tonight and having a sit-down with their manager.

If that happened to me, I'd just stay put until summer, I swear.

You know what helped? The people who kept stopping to point and laugh. I am capable of superhuman power when thoroughly enraged.

2) The cashier at the supermarket's only express checkout lane snotted at me that it was for valentines only, forcing me to

I add my voice to the chorus of WTFF?

Seriously, send a complaint. They are very cathartic!

(I've sent about 5 complaints in the last 2 weeks)

ION, my legs are itching me like crazy because the rain soaked through my 2 layers.

Weather here is good, still.

As for complaints, I've been bombarding my COBRA and my prescription services with them, and my voice mail says everything's resolved. But because of the migraine which is now making it hard to see, I'm putting off verifying that.

I'm guessing cards, chocolates, flowers, and balloons, though what happens if someone is buying one of those and a food item is anyone's guess. I should have just said "this is a Valentine's Day chicken, and Valentine's Day tomatoes—see, they're red?"

You at work, Nora? It's insane out there, like you wandered into the middle of a slushball fight during a hurricane. Best advice for crossing streets - if you see a raging river of water, use that, because it's probably the shallowest thing you're going to find to step through. The accumulation ain't all that much, but the combo of precip types is a frelling mess.

Tonight this shit's supposed to turn to snow, and the temprature is supposed to drop back to the 20s. Tomorrow's gonna be nasty.
