PA=Jerk

$34.33

$34.33

$34.33!

I can spend that in less than five seconds. I've spent three times that amount in less than five seconds.

$34.33!

The working world is stupid and PA Emergency and Municipal Service owes me $52.00. I want my money back, you jerk! The national government only stole eight dollars. Why do you need $52, plus another six dollars "withholding"? Why? Why? I don't even have the right to vote in this silly state. Give me my money back!!!

$34.33!

I made twice that in one night of baby sitting 5 years ago.

Mother of pearl!

Rant over.

Wednesday, work was fun. I worked with the other newest cafe employee (Danny has me beat by about three weeks). Anyway, we joked the entire time. Good fun.

Thursday was much more painful. Due to someone canceling, I had to work all by my self for the first time. I did okay. Nothing burned or caught fire, but that was the busiest night I've seen. I was constantly working. A couple of interesting customers made up for my pain.

I also got a hair cut on Thursday. I had wanted a trim, but half way through the cutting part, I realized she was taking off 3-4 inches. 3-4 inches!!!!! This was not a trim! This was the elimination of a year's worth of trying to grow my hair long! The woman was nice and we were having a good conversation, so I tried to look at the bright side. I decided to get a new style. I have bangs. BANGS! I have many moments where I like the cut and many where I miss my 3-4 inches.

Friday I did nothing. Slept. I should have gone to the library and checked out a book I'm going to need for a presentation (as of Thursday night, the book was listed as being in the stacks). I did try...at 5 PM...the library was closed. Punks.

Went back Saturday and book was checked out. Double Punks! Since the date the book is due back is in mid-December, a grad student checked it out, most likely someone from my class. Triple punks! I'm the one doing the presentation! I should have the case study! (I costs 20 bucks on Amazon...that's 2/3 of my paycheck...not worth it) I'm hoping the professor will help me and photocopy a section of his edition of the book for me.

This morning I had to get up and go to work for a meeting at the ungodly hour of 8 AM. We're getting a new computer system just when I figured out the old one. Yeah! Any way, most of the information didn't apply to me, but if you answered questions right you got a prize. I felt rather idiotic carrying a Homer Simpson Rubik's cube under my arm on the walk home, but I do like my new "Reading is Cool" T-shirt.

Anyway, I have to work again this afternoon, so I should go and do homework or something.
