that is my brand new baby complete with XM radio, which I am quickly becoming addicted to. I find myself sitting in the car, after I've arrived at my destination, just listening until the end of the current song. XM is amazing.

This year started off rather crappy, but is well on it's way to being quite brilliant. I am excited about all that is to come.

~exciting~
>I got to ride in a police car yesterday.
I'd say I used my many secret skills to land this deliciousness, but it was just a simple ride from my job to my car. Nothing really "special" about it. heh.
>XM has an indie station
>I have a new thermostat in my house which means the heat actually works

I was trying to remember a company that apparently sells uber-cool clothes and I finally asked my co-worker today.

It's called H&M - unfortunately you can only shop online at various UK locations.


n-e-who, that is all for today.

educate thy self.

ugh... have you ever spent an entire day hating the fact that people these days are complete and total idiots? I have done that for the past 2 days. Days which I have had to work with the greater public of my local. Now I am quite exhausted AND my eye is twitching. ugh.

~top idiotic responses~
>I shouldn't have to give you any identification. I was born here.
-- and I'm thinking to myself "WHO FRIGGIN' CARES!"
ugh. seriously? like oh my god really? you're not like oh my god kidding me?
actual response -- I don't really care where you were born. I still need to see ID.
them:I'm not showing you a damn thing and I didn't ask for any of this I just want my information.
me: I need you to show me identification as that is our policy.
them: well it's stupid. There is something wrong with your administration that they require people to have identification.
me:Ma'am, for your protection we require that all individuals who would like information about their account, without their card being present, show proof of who they are. it's simply a precaution.
>them:I wants to get a new account.
me:have you had an account with us before?
them:Yes
me:then we won't make you a "new" account we'll just update the old one.
them:but I have fines.
me: yes, and those will need to be taken care of before we can update your record to full privileges.
them:well.. I can't do that today.
me:then I won't be able to update your account.
them:then give me a new one.


ugh.

well, I forgot to mention that I leave work early every Wednesday afternoon because I am taking Spanish language classes for work. This is probably part of my horrid problem as far as stress is concerned. I feel like an infant -- trying to learn things that I'm just not really capable of, even though I know I am. n-e-who this month is Hispanic Heritage month so we had a lovely bit of artwork about Frida Kahlo and our museum will be hosting artwork by Diego.

off I run chilluns -- have fun.
