dolariWell, 5th Annual 4th National Jenn day was an 83% success.
The day was nice and easy at work...light workload, lots of slow time. The best kind of work to do on a Self Proclaimed Holiday (the Nation has yet to recognize this God Given Holiday). I went off diet for a dinner of Taco Cabana, bought some nice DVDs and books from Amazon as presents and really enjoyed my day.
Till about 6AM. I went to Krispy Kreme to pick up a Frozen Blend Choclate Blend thing I'm really addicted to. And that's when the cashier told me "I'm sorry, I can't take your credit card." So I asked why. "You're not Jennifer." So, as usual when this happens I show her my ID. "Im sorry, but this is obviously a fake."
I point to the "M" on the ID.
"Well, I'll accept it this time..."
This is NOT the first time this has happened to me. It usually happens once a month or so, and has resulted in me spending a LOT more money on shipping at expensive online stores because I find the overpriced items to be worth it when faced with a line of people behind me when a cashier decides I'm not female enough to buy something.
This is the kind of idiocy that has made me a shut in. I buy my clothes and shoes online, as well as games, toys and other things. I never EVER sit down eat at restaurants (Royer's is the only exception) becuase I've had someone do stuff to my food. And if I could buy groceries online, I would.
Why, no, Mom. This isn't a choice. I don't LIKE paying up the wazoo for crap, or eating cold food out of a styrofoam container.
::grumble::
And now the P button on my laptop is going out.
I'm sorry the last few entries have been so negative, but...well...ain't all my fault.
