Hum Drum

This time of year, my daily trips to the post office become "when I have to go" trips to the post office, because the lines of people waiting are literally backed past the doors. Today I had a package slip, so I stood in the line for almost 20 minutes to pick it up. The cars are usually backed out of the driveway/parking lot too, but I just park at the bank next door and walk up the snowy bank and get in long before the people waiting in their cars for a spot to open up do. Waiting in line is such a waste of time. If I'm going to waste time, I at least want to enjoy it. :)

I left the post office and went to the Verizon store in order to pick up a screen protector for my new phone. I walked in the door, was met by a saleslady to whom I said "Hi, I need screen protectors for my LG", and heard immediately back "I'm sorry, our computers are down and we can't do anything right now." They couldn't sell me a $9 package of plastic because their computer was down. I would complain about it, but I already did over lunch, so I won't make Steve read it again. ;) Anyway, after lunch I went back and their magic electronic boxes made it possible for them to figure out how to sell me what I needed after all, and we were both happy. My phone touch screen will hopefully remain pristine a bit longer, too.

A more enjoyable thing from today was actually my gas stop where I filled up my car for $20 again for the first time in a VERY long time. $1.45 a gallon is just almost downright exciting!

Not much going on today, it was just...Monday!
