maybe it's gas.

whoa. i just realized i forgot to eat dinner.

i had gotten home around 7:45pm, got a check in the mail from H&RBlock - the tax preparer actually filled out a thing for a refer-a-friend back in march (or april) and she said she'd give it to someone - i didn't have to lift a finger and i got $20... needed to slap that in the bank, so i drove to my fleet bank down the street... went to the atm and there weren't any deposit envelopes.

crap.

2dollarsgrrr.jpgso i was riding around on 1/8 tank of gas. fumes, if you will.

i found another fleet about 5 miles away, complete with envelopes...

saw a few gas stations that were hawking their "$1.95" and "$1.98" prices... i drove on... they were on the opposite site of the road.

i drive to the gulf station close to home because the huge sign says:

"$1.99"

and i pull in, say fill it with regular, the guy shoves the thing into the tank and there ya' go...

"$21.01, ma'am"

eh... what?

"oh. we just changed the price to $2.03. haven't had time to change the sign"

WTF!?!

i said, "you'd better effing change it quick since that's false advertising and you should have told me this when i said 'fill it up'"

his "assistant" heard me and ran over to change the sign (of course i have video... and you'll notice that my math skills kinda stink)

the dude shrugs his shoulders and walks away.

me: "i think it sucks!" and then i started to drive away...
not for nothing, i am not cheap, i just sorta have $27 to my name til the weekend.
