Well it's worth it for me. I can't find a copy at the record stores down here and I am really missing it after it was taken. Special order will be a lot more expensive. I'll look for more stuff and pm you. I'll just send cash and pay for the shipping. Maybe a bonus for the favor. You can go regular USPS, as I don't mind. Fedex has been charging too much lately.

Two black guys fighting outside my hotel room. I think the issue is citizenry... one guy was born here, the other guy immigrated (legally) from West Africa. -groan-

I have to take my 2005 car in again because the Check Engine light comes on and it feels like it's suffocating. Then it spontaneously heals, but it's staying sicker longer. I hope it's a warranty repair.

Bloody slow bloody eBay bloody sellers
Oh you've got to pay them within 3 days or get a neagtive, oh yes But they don't have to post out until they feel like it, oh no So - no practising my Halloween makeup tonight No watching House of 1000 corpses No flitting about with my Halloween wig on Sigh I understand about getting payment quickly, and I don't resent that But when we sold items in the shop, we always posted on the same day payment cleared Okay, we were a business, but you can easily set the time you want your auction to expire - if you know you only get to the Post Office on Mondays and Wednesdays, why not have your auctions finish on Sundays and Tuesday? Or better yet, write on the description what days you post and what your usual turn around time is. Otherwise people like me get excited for days on end every time the post comes, and then horribly depressed afterwards. I swear, it's like being a kid again.

Ok. I am annoyed.
This person I don't know that recogizes me from the coffee shop that I used to regular, but now work at 2 days a week, has annoyed me. I am working (busy) and he wants to talk about why I would work there now. When he saw me he took me for a "secretary or something" and "why I am not doing that". I say, well this job is actually quite fun and I do like it. I say, I was actually doing administration work, and not a secretary. (though I have been before) He says, oh, same thing... Why so shitty? I don't even recognize this asshole but he needs an explanation as to why I would work in a coffee shop. And if I was a secratary as were his projections, what would be the big deal if I chose to work in a coffee shop? I am having fun with my new 2 day a week job. I am surprised that I was so hesitant. But now John Q. Ass gets to question my work history. That bothers me. He pressed me again after the first little conversation with even more random questioning about what would make me decide to work there, and my new boss answered for me since he was on, "ignore". Why do people that I do not know watch what I do and how I seem, and demand explanations when it does not fit with their expectations or presumptions? Why get freaked out about someone you don't know working in a coffee shop? And why be shitty about it? Do I need to give strangers my work history now, and for what? To serve a damned cup of coffee?!? Oh I don't want you to make me any coffee, I thought you were supposed to be checking the voicemail messages or typing..or something. Forget it.

Oh, I know what you mean Cic.
Tell 'em you had a damn lobotomy and are prone to extreme violence. In what has been deemed a medical miracle, doctors found you were much more calm when constantly surrounded by the sweet yet acrid smell of coffee. You are mandated to work there by the state, though you have to be closely monitored as you have been known to suddenly start swinging a knife and throwing hot coffee, usually provoked by some dumbass asking personal questions. "Bite me" is always a good response too, in my experience.

Dude is probably starved for human contact and just goes to the coffee shop for an excuse to talk to people who have to interact with him because it's their job.

I stuck some leftovers in the oven to reheat, and then got so distracted by other crap that just minutes later I made and ate an entirely different lunch for myself. Just as I was rinsing my plate, the oven timer started beeping to let me know what an idiot I am.

My microwave actually has a neat feature to prevent that--once it's cooked something, it will beep periodically until the door is opened. You can't leave something in there unless you open the door and then shut the food back inside again without turning it on for more cooking time.
...Which, sadly, I have done. |

and you haven't learned to completely shut that beep out of your concsiousness? wow. That's the best/worst skill i've acquired since becoming a mom. I can shut any sound out without effort -and sadly - often without being aware I am ignoring anything. kids screaming? no longer hear it. Which is usually good, but what if, one day, they really are hurt?
