things that are not too bad
Oct. 4th, 2012 10:15 am- I stopped in the store on the way to work yesterday and explained (with receipt) that the powder compact I'd bought the evening before had evidently rolled out of the bag before I'd even got to my car - and the girl at the customer service desk said I should go ahead and get another one, and all I had to do was bring it to her so she could compare to the receipt and make sure it was the same thing I'd paid for. Hurrah!
- I bought a cute sweater; the last one they had happened to be my size. Hurrah!
- I found that my university billing statement included a $205 library fine for a lost item. Boo!
- They'd apparently notified me in June that this was going to happen and I just wasn't paying attention - my fault - so in fact by now it is a $215 fine because of a $10 late payment that is my own fault. Also boo.
- The item is not lost; the boss-type I checked it out for has it in her office and I can return it today and get everything but the late payment back. Hurrah!
- We will also in future change the procedure for assistant-types checking things out for boss-types. Hurrah!
- I nominated things for Yuletide. Hurrah!
- I did not watch the debate last night, preferring to get caught up on Downton Abbey and Doctor Who via the tunnel to ITV and BBC's respective streaming players. Hurrah!
- Not sure how I feel about DA - for those of you who have seen S3e02, you may realize why I say this - but then I'm not sure we're meant to have feelings about that show, beyond "FREE BATES" and similar.
- OH PONDS. I have a lot of feelings about DW, but you know, most of them are peaceful.
- It is Monster Cereal season, and I bought quite a lot of Boo Berry and Frankenberry at Wegmans last night. Hurrah!
- I also discovered that I don't like smoked mozzarella. Ah well.
