Gretchen had a link on her site today for a pretty cool Battleship game. I played it for a good hour when I should've been doing other stuff. It's fun. It's got sound effects and everything. Try it out if you've got some time to waste.

This week's paycheck quote was:
"The two hardest things to handle in life are failure and success."

So true, so true.

1. Fast-food or regular (sit-down) restaurant?
I much prefer regular restaurants. If I'm going out to eat, serve me.

2. If or when you go to fast-food places...drive-through or walk in?
Unless I know a place has really awesome drive-through service (very rare), I walk in to make sure they get the order right. Even then it's a miracle if you get exactly what you ordered the first time.

3. Any restaurant food...eat in or take out?
Again, eat in. Even when I lived in town, the only take out/delivery food was pizza and occasionally some Woody's Wings.

4. You are at a restaurant and are too full to finish your meal. Do you leave it, or ask to have it wrapped up to go?
I take it with me. I paid for it. The only exception is french fries. They always taste nasty as leftovers.

5. Where does most of your food come from...restaurants or the grocery store?
Grocery store.

6. Do you shop for food at a supermarket or a convenience store?
Supermarket. Convenience stores are for snacks.

7. You have 13 items in your cart. Do you try to go through the *12 Items of Less* express line or grit your teeth and get into the regular line?
I get in a regular line. Rules are rules. BTW people, 50 cans of cat food or 100 jars of baby food does not count as one item.

8. If you shop at a store that has them, do you use the regular or self-scan checkouts?
Regular. I'm paying inflated prices to pay union wages to these people, they can do the work.

9. Paper or plastic - Part One...what kind of bags do you take?
Depends. If I need puppy poop bags, I get plastic. If I need to bag up newspapers, I get paper. Marcus always gets plastic.

10. Paper or plastic - Part Two...which payment method do you use when buying food?
Both. Checks if the money is in my account, plastic if there isn't.

I followed a Chinese Compatibility Test link that I found on Gretchen's blog. Turns out Marcus and I are totally incompatible. Yay! I wish I'd known that ten years ago before I wasted all this time in a relationship that I thought was pretty good. LOL

I was talking to the girl that has recently started doing some day shifts at the same store where Moron Manager (computer crasher) works. I remember a few weeks back where the head manager had posted a note about how he was the only one authorized to make time clock changes. I meant to ask him what that was all about, but since it really doesn't affect me, it slipped my mind. She told me that there was a period where she was working six days a week to try and make more money, but her paychecks were not getting bigger. She finally asked the assistant if she could see her payroll record. She noticed it was off, and eventually told the head manager about it. Moron Manager was changing her clock-out times to cheat her out of hours that she worked. He's never liked her, but that was criminal. Man, that creep should've been fired on the spot.
