Another Almolst Holiday

The trouble with these holimondays is that you never know what to do on them. I mean, sleeping in is a given, but you don't wanna go anywhere, b/c everybody will aready be there ahead of you.

I almost made it to Albertville to visit my sister-to-be-in-law, but we caved at the last minute on account of my sister double-booked herself with her volleyball coach's dog. (This is gonna be one of those stories that makes you appreciate the interesting things I write).

I'm ready to carpet bomb Charter at this point, since my connection is still nonexistant at home. I've stolen my sister's PC to waste time on blogger in the hope that you my readers will be able to waste some of your own without all of the effort of actually writing.

All that happened yesterday was that I tried to take back a hand exerciser, but they only wanted to give me $7.99 because they upped the price on the new ones to $9.99. Now, they've already switched it for me once at that price, but this time the cashier wanted $2.18 to cover the difference. Of course, she only knew that I'd originally spent $8.16 b/c I actually brought the original receipt; if I'd left it it'd've been an even exchange. She said she couldn't trade it (same UPC, same product) because she'd seen the receipt. I admire her honesty, and didn't argue the point. I was really proud of myself for not making a scene, even though I couldn't have lost the argument if it got to the manager. Plus, there were people waiting behind me, which was more the fault of them being understaffed, but they might not have seen it thataway. The upside is that this one broke much sooner than the first one I bought, which means my hands must be getting stronger somehow.

I'm bored, if you couldn't tell. Nothing seems to be happening here; my yo-yoing is only getting worse and work is pretty stagnant.

Anyway, if you want to kill some more time, check out the Infinite Cat Project. Then tell me I have too much time on my hands.

I'm planning on actually doing something tomorrow. Stay tuned.
