Did You Know....

This has been a long day with some interesting discoveries.

Some time this morning I lost my ATM card. 

Again. 

 For the 2nd time in about 6 months.  I looked everywhere.

The day was typically crappy at work.

Mr Burns called me up to tell me that I had to find $80,000.00 by the end of the day or all of our paychecks were going to bounce. 

Again. 

And while I was trying to explain why we had not gotten a check that had been mailed on Thursday the 10th had not reached the office (because they used the wrong zip code) but before I could get it all out he interrupted me saying "Are you going to stop talking so I can say something?" 

Readers, I am very tired of eating poop every day.  I am very tired of not saying what I would like to say.  But I just keep eating it.  Because I am afraid of losing my job.

BMD is going to be leaving soon on maternity leave.  From a business standpoint this sucks because that means I lose my Spanish translator and the person who does a huge chunk of the work.  From a personal standpoint that means I will be the only woman in the company again and this is not good.  And I will be alone in the office with the guys, one of whom makes me completely insane.  Plus she has become a good friend.   The prospects of this make me feel sick.  Sick I tell you.  I don't know what she is going to do without me, I make her like that much more interesting.

I needed to drop a check off at the end of the day which took me to a part of town I had not seen for awhile.  Yikes, this part of town has gotten scary.  I noticed I was running out of gas and decided to stop at the AM/PM over there which was a bad idea. 

DID YOU KNOW...... that AM/PM doesn't let you use credit cards?

DID YOU KNOW...... I gave all my cash to La Chupa the other day to take the train home?

While I was giving up and getting ready to leave some dude came over and tried to sell me his watch. 

I said "No thank you Mr. Scary Guy" and got the heck over to my side of town.

Got some gas at a friendly Credit Card Friendly Chevron station.

DID YOU KNOW... that all of this took more than 20 minutes so it was too late to go to the bank.  So I pulled over to the side of the road and called my bank to report a missing ATM card.  The replacement will take 5-10 business days which will be more like 5-10 months based on recent events (I have had an order of tights that has gotten lost twice now)  And that the temporary card will not be able to be used in stores?

Then I went over to the Cinemark movie theater where I learned another interesting fact.

My sister and niece had headed over to the theater to see "Footloose" and I was supposed to come on over as soon as I could.

The movie was listed as starting at 4:30 (which left a good 15 minutes of trailers and assorted Cool Hamster Commercials)  I got there at 5:05pm

DID YOU KNOW... that the movie theaters will not sell you a ticket to a movie that started more than 30 minutes prior? 

DID YOU KNOW..... that they will sell you a ticket to the next showing, but they won't let you inside.

And they don't care that your family is waiting for you in there. 

And Dennis Quaid who I think it the sexiest man over 50 that exists in the world today.

Dennis--- I am so sorry.  So very very sorry!

So, I gave up!

I went home, got my jammies on and starting blogging about my crappy day.

When I am finished I am going to pull the covers up over my head and go to sleep.
