What You Missed

To my Friend/Co-Worker ArgyleSockGirl:

As you were not in the office today, here is a short list of things you missed:

1.) We were without a boss until about 11:30am; no major parties were thrown.

2.) Someone brought in a chocolate bar with pretzel pieces. No, not chocolate covered pretzels; an actual chocolate bar with bits of pretzel. I thought they were nuts for about 45 seconds.

3.) The ladies' loo suddenly smells like musty basement with the occasional whiff of spoiled milk. Flowery Lysol used to cover said smell only succeeding in getting stuck in my lungs and making me cough. Fail.

4.) All of the top entertainment headlines were about Charlie Sheen and/or Miley Cyrus. Not a "winning" day for celebrity journalism.

5.) It was cold and windy.

6.) I saw Nie's new basement post; I wasn't sure what those fabric/wallpaper choices were going to look like all together, but they turned out so lovely! Never question the Nie.

So the perfect day to be home, basically. :-)

Fail

This evening I tried out the self-checkout lane at BJ's (yes, the wholesale club; I have intense cashew needs. And their lunchmeat is super cheap). Things were going fine, and I was about to get out of there in record time when...my card wouldn't work. You have to swipe your membership card to begin, but mine wasn't registering. I couldn't figure it out, and, to boot, there was a woman behind me who was looking at my cart and commenting to her friend on what I was buying. Such cheek.

And then I realized it...I was trying to use my library card instead of my membership card. 

Sheepishly, I pulled the correct card from my wallet, and swiped it really fast. Did the lady behind me notice, or was she too busy contemplating the soy milk in my basket? Who knows. 

I'm exhausted.
