So this one time, I went to Walmart. And I was standing by the self check out things, waiting my turn when i dropped my check card. I lean over to get it. Uh oh. It's not there. Um. Yeah. So I dropped my check card down the side of the conveyer belt and I couldn't get it out. So I stopped someone that worked there, and i told her I dropped my card down the machine and she says "well i can't do anything. was it an important card? do you need it?" No ma'am. I had out an unimportant card. I was paying with a card that was not important and would probably not work. I mean YES IT WAS IMPORTANT! and do I need it? No thank you. I'd rather not be able to ever use it again. In fact, my credit/debit card would be much more useful to me if it were stuck in this machine forever. Maybe someone else could find it and use it even? So the lady goes and gets someone else who gets someone else. So there are now 5 walmart people standing around trying to get my debit card out of the machine. So they get a nail file and finally, finally, get my debit card out of the machine. Soooooo embarassing. And the woman that got it was so nice about it and was apologizing that my card might not swipe again and commented on how it expired in a year. I didn't mention that First Federal switched to Mastercard and I could begin using my new card tomorrow. Tomorrow though, not today. The one in the machine was the only one that would work today. I felt bad that she spent half an hour fishing my card out of the machine. I had a good night otherwise... even counting the walmart trip though, it was a good night. I called George a few times tonight (sorry!) and I talked to his friends too. But I really think he should come visit Beloit...!
Tomorrow we're giving out bids for theta... I love Susie! (there are other people i love too, but i really really love susie!)
