Okay, so Saturday night my car worked fine, then Sunday morning it worked fine, then Sunday night, I head out to go to work, and nothing.  Car battery's dead again (and I KNOW I didn't leave anything on when I left it that morning.)  Not sure but I think I got a dead cell in the battery, and may to replace it.  I got lucky though, one of my ( Read more... )

Crap, wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to say when I started this, guess I'll just fill in with some news I haven't posted about yet.

First up, once again, I made a mistake, and I think the boss is probably unhappy with me (not that'd I'd blame him mind you.)  Basically, I forgot to check in a reservation before I ran the audit.  You see, our ( Read more... )

So, yeah, that ( Read more... )

Ever have one of those days where you not really sure what the heck you're doing or going to do and feel like you're just kind of floating around?  Think I'm having one right now...

In the past couple of days I've gone by both Hardees and McDonald's and noticed that pretty much EVERYTHING on their menus has gone up.  The local McDonald's also has less stuff on their dollar menu.  I remember I used to be able to get a meal (ie drink, fries, and something from the meat group) for under $5, and now, the only thing that fits that ( Read more... )
