2010.05.18 (08:59): Oh the things folks have done..
Today was mildly more amusing than most. Last Friday was a Core-Legal-Lunch meet up and if I had to hear one more time from the waiter about Susan's lack of meat consumption or injection and why she would not want meat with her nay-hos I was going curl up in a laughing fit. Very subtle hints there Mr. Waiter. Then again I blame Susan for having such a revealing shirt unbuttoned. She was just throwing herself out there for the greater good of attention and ogling. Then again I hear that's how court cases are won.
On another note I am waiting for my confirmation of two tickets to the Yankee v Royals game in August. I guess it takes 48 hours (max) to verify I got my shit ordered. Hello $150 (each) tickets! Though five rows back above the left half the visitor's dugout.. even with 3rd base line. Foul ball territory and what not.
I had to snicker at my buddy's wife getting shingles for her two year anniversary gift. I thought that shit was eradicated and only afflicted the bad kids from dirty homes in elementary school. I should brush up on my diseases. This is probably why I am not in med school. Hopefully they can lase that shit from where ever it hides in the body.
On a positive note Brad is so far not at work and his phone is not buzzing, nor have I received my unwanted updates on the Shockers. Let's hope it stays that way and I can stop filing down my recyclable shank.

2010.05.01 (13:14): Well one mystery solved..
I was dutifully paying my bills a few minutes ago and got to my credit card. My balance was significantly lower than I remembered. A mild annoyance panic attack ensued as I envisioned my weekend was evaporating into phone calls to customer service. So I peeled back this March's statement. Mkay.. nothing odd.. the usual finance charges and the gym. Okay.. so I go back to April's statement. Okay.. there was my River donation to the phone-a-thon.. there's my gym membership.. finance charges... oh wait.. what the fuck?! Does that say I paid 2,000 last month!!? Shit fuck.. okay.. so I crack open my saved receipt and yup.. mother fucker I typed an extra zero on my payment...
Well that problem solved... I was semi relieved that now I know where my tax refund went to (well part of it)... I was starting to think B-Rock was shorting me. Nope.. I just fucked up and hit zero one too many times. That would also account why my checking account was lower than the usual high tide. *sigh*
It's a good thing that my credit card balance will be smaller than my student loans in a few months, right?
