   Mellow day

Well, Thursday is fast ending here. I had it off. Originally I was supposed to work tonight, but ended up working Monday instead. I was glad because I am so used to having Thursday off.

So, what excitement did I have today? Hmm...

1. It snowed. Only about an inch or so, but still enough that I had to shovel the walk and a little bit around my car. Wore me out!
2. Went to the bank. It was payday today. Had to deposit the pittance.
3. Did laundry. No big surprise there, eh?
4. Worked at my kanji flash cards while doing laundry.
5. Walked back downtown to find something for supper. I didn't feel like anything we had in the refrigerator or freezer. And I didn't want another sandwich!
6. Goofed off with my brother for a few hours. Always a good thing.
7. Got on the computer and here I am.

What did I not do today?
1. Try to get the wireless to hook up to the DSL. I was just way too brainless to deal with that. Didn't want to tie up the phone line talking to tech support. Didn't want to think about it at all. Actually, all I used my laptop for today was to read a little manga and as a $800 jukebox!

As for yesterday's comments about wanting a decent taco...

Monday my mom asked what I wanted for lunch for work. I replied "TACOS!" I've been really hungry for tacos for at least a week. So, I had the little psycho go to Taco Hell for me and get a softshell taco kid's meal. I gave him a $10 bill. He came back with $1.49 in change. I looked at the receipt and saw that they charged me for a drink when the drink is included in the kid's meal. The $1.49 was the amount they charged for a drink. I sent him back to get the rest of the change, which they did give back. There's no way that one kid's meal costs $8.51! Anyhoo... on to the tacos: THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY 100% STONE COLD!!!!!!! Yes, it was as if they took the tacos out of the refrigerator and stuck them in the bag! Fortunately we have a microwave so I could warm them up. But reheated lettuce is nasty! On the back of the receipt is a thing where you can either call or go online to fill out a survey to win $1000. I went online and told the corporate people exactly what type of experience I had. It was the latest in a long line of cold food from that particular Taco Bell. There's another one in a different part of SUX that always has hot food. Even if you go through the drivethru at 2:00 in the morning, the food is hot! Once I stopped there after work and grabbed a burrito. I figured I'd have to nuke it when I got home. I live about 25 miles from that Taco Bell, and when I got home a half hour later, IT WAS STILL HOT! Something tells me, I won't be going to the Hamilton Boulevard Taco Bell any more.

Wow. That really turned out to be a long rant, didn't it? Oh well...

Time for me to stop this craziness and go to my room.

Laters!
