Well my return to Taco Bell today was pretty successful. Hit the drive thru today for lunch, and while I enjoyed my meal, I didn't enjoy my drink without a straw. I did however get coupons and a chance to win 1000 dollars by calling in this survey. Honestly, I would be happier to have just gotten the straw, but maybe I'll get lucky enough to win the cash. (As if they actually give out a prize.)
The snowice has really made it tough to park here at work. Only 3 spots are shoveled and those are already taken, so it's not that easy to find parking on the side city streets. I have a self made spot that I barreled through today, so I'm pretty fortunate at least for today..no one else can get their car in there. The Mariner gets in there no sweat.
The much anticipated All Star Break is upon us in the NBA. That means that all of us fantasy players will be getting our injured stars back in a few days. I anxiously await AI and Yao's return to my lineup. I told myself I wouldn't watch the Slam Dunk Contest again after last year's disgrace. Andre Igoudala has the dunk of the night, yet loses to the diminutive Nate Robinson because he dunked over the beloved Spudd Webb. Cool idea, but one thing about his flush over Mr Potato Head, it took him what 50 tries to do it? There has to be some sort of penalty for missing that many times, or a cap on how many times you can try it. Give me a break, none of us have that sort of attention span anymore, it's the internet age.
No plans for the weekend, it looks like it will be a play it by ear weekend, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
One last thing, why do people feel the need to say something polite when being a creep or doing something to you that obviously sucks. 2 Examples, 1 recent one. I got a letter from the Lancaster Tax Collection Bureau stating that I owe $58.00 in back taxes from 2002, and if they aren't paid by July, they are going to garnish my wages. Funny thing is the tax was already paid, and we went through the same thing last year, with the same tax. Whatever. But the most irritating thing about this is the letter comes in a envelope stamped with a snowman and the words "Season's Greetings" attached to it. Thanks a lot, have a good holiday..creep.
Example 2 is from a few years back, wow, I guess 7 years now. At the beach I parked my car in a tow away zone (which was marked no parking from 7 AM to 3 PM) Parked there after 8 that night, and when I got up the next morning to move it at 6:30...gone. They towed my car..nice. Well I went to get it out of the impound, which was a nice $130.00 bill and as I pay this fine the lady gives me a receipt with the message "Thank You Please Come Again" at the bottom, followed by the comment..."Have a Great Day." Come again..have a great day? Come on now. I'd rather them just say something rude, or just laugh. Maybe the statement "Sucks to be you" at the bottom, or "You're going to jail you tax evading jerk" on the envelope. Now that I could get behind.
