I Finally Finished

My book, Papillon, and it is a really good book! It is based on a true story of a man falsely accused and sent to the bange in France. He makes several escape attempts and lives through some extremely brutal events. Just a good, long book that keeps you guessing. This book also makes one thankful for the everyday items that we have….like a toilet.

I started reading it this summer and haven’t touched it since late August :) Good ol textbook reading has kept me busy for the past few months. It has been AWESOME reading a book because I want to!!

Every. Single. Time.

UGH!! Every single freakin’ time I go to the USPS here in town, I have to deal with the crotchety old beotches!! Honestly, I just want to ship my package and not deal with their attitudes.

Today my package cost $3.49 to ship and I decided to use my Visa gift card that I got for Christmas. Monkey and I had this one to split and there wasn’t much left so I just decided to use it up. Well, the lady stared at if for 5min after I told her it was a gift card. She said, “Do you have a pin number, it says it’s a debit card.” I said, “No you can just run it as credit.” She then proceeds to tell me it is not valid if it is not signed and makes me sign the damn thing AFTER she asks for two forms of ID! WTF? Do most people have two forms of ID with them at all times? I said, “Here. My drivers license, my AAA card, and all my other cards with my name. What do you want?” I was SO irritated and this is the same woman who made me sign my regular debit card before she would swipe the damn thing! She didn’t care if I had ID, she wasn’t swiping it without a signature!

Honestly, the purchase was $3.49 and it was postage!! Does she think I’m going to rob someone’s card and mail shit all over the world? You know, really wreak havoc on some poor sap. Wow, think of the damage I could do! Funny thing about this, stores rarely ask for your ID, they just swipe your card even if the purchase is $100 or more. I think the lady at the USPS is just a stupid beotch and likes having some authority over the little people who are not smart enough to work for the government!! HAHA, now that shit right there was funny.

I think I’m done bitching for now :)
