Mini-Post

Something to hold you over until I have nothing else to do but sit in my hotel room in El Paso. These were some funny quotes from last week as per Entertainment Weekly. Who doesn't love the word "jackassery"? I don't think it's used enough.

Oh, and sidebar before the quotes. On April 14th, 2008, Amanda Simmons will be rocking out 80's style with me to the great Bon Jovi. What she doesn't know, is the attire I plan on us wearing. I have roughly 6 months to have her see my way on this. I'm thinking leg warmers... and you can go up from there... :)

''During the Democratic debate Tuesday night, Senator Joe Biden criticized Republican candidate Rudy Giuliani, saying that 'there's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun, a verb, and 9/11.' Giuliani later responded, saying, 'Joe Biden sucks 9/11.''

My mom is so proud...

Ok, so I'm back. Still have a little of the crap but it's more now just the annoying stuffiness. Good times. Very hot too. Not even the sexy phlegm voice. Bummer... Cause if i had the voice, I'd be rocking some Smelly Cat... Anyways...

So the title of this blog. Reason is this. I've always known right and wrong. And I'm that person that will go back to a store because they forgot to charge me like 50 cents or something. I seriously just get physically ill knowing that I have something I didn't pay for.

So yesterday after lunch I go with Stephanie to Staples because she has to buy some paper. And I've been looking for a printer so I decided to look around. Ever since my parents got one of those 3 in 1, photo printers, I've been looking. So Staples had an HP on sale for like $125. Great deal, and it seems to be able to print what I'm looking for. Up to an 8.5X11 so that works great. So the guy is helping me, shows me the cable I need, the ink that is on sale, the photo paper, etc. So of course the tab keeps getting higher but... We get to the checkout and he gives me 10% off for signing up for their rewards program, and then another 20% just cause. I think I complimented his gold capped teeth so he liked me... Who knows.

So I get the extended warranty too and I'm filling out all my stuff and not paying attention totally. He gives me my total of $136. I'm like holy crap. Those are some discounts. And you know when it doesn't seem right, but then you're like well I guess it is, but I don't know... So he helps us out to the car and we leave.

Oh, I should break in and mention that this guy was already a little questionable as he told Stephanie and I about how he works in real estate as well as selling designer handbags out of his car. oh and shoes. And he drives a really really nice Chrysler 3000 with custom rims. So he was super shady already.

So we're driving away and I'm still like ok, this isn't right. This cost isn't right. All of the sudden I see it... He didn't charge me for the printer. Everything else, no printer. So I'm like Stephanie, turn around, we have to go back. And so we walk back in and they're like um, back already? Oh, and to keep pointing out random facts, they know where we work because we use them all the time for copy stuff. So I go well, i don't want to get anyone in trouble, but I don't think you charged me for the printer. And they were like OMG, you came back? I can't believe it. Now, first of all, as previously mentioned, there was no way i wouldn't have come back. Cause i would have been puking in my trash can cause I would have felt so bad. Also, I had just filled out two different forms of paperwork that had all of my information PLUS, they know where i work. It wasn't like they wouldn't have figured it out and found me. So they end up giving me the printer for a flat $100 since I was honest.

So it's done right? NO! They actually came to my work about 30 minutes later looking for me because they wanted to give me MORE of a discount. I guess they had tried to call but my cell is silent during the day so... So I guess they had called the Manager (one guy was the assistant mgr) and he said you should have given her more off so they tried to credit and re-bill my card but they don't keep your credit card on file anymore so now that first $136 had been totally wiped out of the system. Madness. So I had to call the store and talk to the manager and he's supposed to be sending me the receipts.

All this drama for a printer!

Now all I have to do is set it up and start printing! :)

This writer's strike is putting a damper on my TV. Expect a lot more reality shows to come out. Oh, and there's a nasty rumor that Lost may not come back until FEBRUARY 2009!!!!!!!!!!!! Because they've only taped 8 episodes and they were planning to air 22 straight. And so many people hate last season where they did like 6 and then a huge break and then 16 more. So they may just wait. I can't handle it!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, that's all for now. This weekend should have some interesting stories.

Later!

Sorry...

I caught some nasty flu virus that's been going around. Will post in the next day or two when I'm not sweating and freezing and fevery and achy and all that.

Love ya!
