The Curse of Cursive

I distinctly remember the last time I wrote something in cursive, prior to today, that was not signing my name.  It was the day I took the SAT, in junior year of high school.  The task was tedious, as I did not remember much cursive, which I had not used since elementary school.  Why I [...]

Do I Need This?

Customer- *hands me a Price Chopper savings card*  Do I need this?
Me- No, this isn’t Price Chopper.
This happens quite a bit.  It happened twice last week.  I have also had people attempt to pay for their groceries with a Sam’s Club card, get their savings with a Triple AAA card, start to leave before signing [...]

Yes, I Do Talk to My Dog

This post idea is completely stolen from Yoonamania’s most recent Thursday Thirteen. I found it so entertaining that I had to do a version of it myself, even though it’s not Thursday.  My excuse being that it is summer and due to my eratic work schedule, I find it difficult to keep track of what [...]

Roof Rack Fail

My family used to go camping a lot.  We’d go a couple times each summer and we occasionally went in the fall as well.  Each camping trip brought with it its own disasters such as us burning all the food on the campfire and having to eat bread the whole trip, the car breaking down, [...]

“What the Hell is a Hufflepuff?”

The Harry Potter fandom has something new to squee about.  It comes in the form of a musical.  A Harry Potter musical.  It was created by a bunch of college students from Michigan and has been on Youtube for a few days.  It is absolutely amazing and incredibly hilarious.  It encompasses much of the series [...]

Stranded At The Store

Last night my dad came home and told us someone had baked him muffins, but he left them at work.  My sister was quite disappointed because she loves muffins.  My dad said he’d go back and get them because he had to go to the store I work at anyway to buy soda.
My sister, brother, [...]

Well, That Figures

My sister has a Garage Band addiction and often asked me if she could use my laptop to play around with it.  Since I now have a new MacBook, she asked if she could use my old iBook.  I let her.
As she was using it, the screen inevitably turned white.  It did this a few [...]

I Guess It Would Go Along With My Suddenly Working Car Alarm

Remember the survey I took about the smoke detectors in my house? The man who had called me told me I would be entered into a contest to win a $1200 home security system for participating in his survey.
The other day the phone rang and my sister answered it.  She handed me the phone and [...]

Wouldn’t Want to Let the Burglar OUT of the Car

Last night we went out for Chinse food and I had to drive separately since I had to work right after.  In the two years I’ve owned my car I have never known how to turn on the car alarm.
After we finished eating I got into my car.  My mom came over to say goodbye [...]

Does It Make a Loud Noise?

The other day the phone rang and it was a guy with some kind of Middle Eastern or Indian accent wanting me to take a survey about the fire alarms in my house.  Before I could say no, he started rattling off the questions, so I just answered them.  He went through the expected questions [...]
