Does anybody know how hard I have to work just to do something simple?? Like, say, drive home? I am so unappreciated.
Take today - gas tank was on "E", so I went to the closest gas station when I left work. It was jam packed with "awna's" and "ewna's" except for a couple of pumps that were disabled completely with red sacks stuck on themselves. So - let's leave there and try that one that's on my way home but a little further away (I can make it! I know I can!). Except that one had been completely torn up and was in process of reconstruction. Heh. Guess I haven't gone that way in awhile. But no fear - there's another one on the left half a mile further - of course getting in the left lane from the far right during rush hour in that short time span was a challenge - but! I arrived with only a couple near misses. And the pump rejected my debit card. (!!!) And so I got 3 gallons of gas with what cash I had; but my main concern now was what was wrong with my bank so I called the robot while trying to drive (!) to find out there's plenty of money in there - or at least enough to fill my tank. But of course I can't.
I headed straight to my bank to find out what's up, and also deposit my paycheck and I was waiting to turn left when a car coming from the other direction (very slooooowly, but too close to turn in front of) turned in first. aaarrrrggghhh. He's in front of me now in line for the atm. I just know he won't know how to use it. andIwasright
10 minutes later I am at the atm trying to deposit my check. "Unable to process this transaction" - what? you won't take my money, either?? Bad enough about the humiliating gas experience, and now this. So slowpoke either broke it or it was down already which explains the gas thing, but pokey could have given me a head's up. Petes sake.
Well, I need to buy a lottery ticket for tonight's drawing, but nobody will let me have any money. Or take it either, for that matter. But I have another lottery ticket with me that won $2! I can cash that in for the new ticket, blah blah blah.
I have now forgotten all about gas, money, and the cat food I was supposed to stop and buy. So I went to the convenience store on the way home and gave them the ticket. Which the machine couldn't seem to read. Had to be entered manually, made people mad, and all for $2 - but it was important TO ME.
I have a ticket in tonight's drawing. neener neener
But I don't have any money, gas, or cat food. And I got home 45 minutes late.
Is it just me or do all the machines break at once?
Maybe it's just me.
