cheshire cat

Unsurprisingly, on the Alice in Wonderland test, i’m the Cheshire Cat: You’re the epitome of insane. Either you’re very smart, or you’re too damn stupid. The world is your playground, and everything — and everyone — in it is a toy for you to play with. People should be scared of you, but because you’re so affable, they aren’t. Tough for them. Well. I was just incredibly rude to a student loan collector person who called and who was then both polite and helpful. Don’t I feel like an asshole.…

bookstore accident!

Oop. I had a little bookstore accident. I went in looking for an Anne Perry book, and they didn’t have it, so I ended up with three Ian Rankin books and a … book by somebody else.

What I got was 6 or 7 months worth of California state taxes. Except they paid me too much. By like $500. So this paycheck they gave me $500 less. Only they deposited 3.5x that ‘$500 less’ amount into my checking account. And then they sent me an extra $1800 paycheck. And now they want $3100 back. Fortunately, the $1800…

I am not having a good back morning. In fact, I’m having pain. I dunno if this is from sleeping poorly or if there’s a larger issue, but I don’t like it at all. :P I need to get my portly ass to the gym and lose some weight. Ow.
