BIRTHDAY!!!

It's Caitlin's birthday! BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!

In other news, today I added insult to an already injured (probably mentally) customer. This was our conversation, already in progress:

CUSTOMER: You can NOT be serious!!!!!!
ME: I'm sorry, I can't help you. If you didn't buy the glasses from us, our lab won't have the parts to repair them.
CUSTOMER: Are you telling me that you can't fix my nosepads?!?!
ME: It's not like the screw came loose, you broke them off completely.
CUSTOMER: That's it!!! I am never buying glasses from this company AGAIN!!!!!!
ME: But you didn't buy them from here. That's why I can't fix them.
CUSTOMER: (storms off)

It was honestly a lot more assey then I had originally intended it to sound, and was really just restating the obvious, but whatever. He was flailing about psychotic, so I was glad to be rid of him.

I also got some good news which is: I am able to transfer to a Vision Center near my new place!!! Hooray for no unemployment! Plus, I am going to be working in the leasing office of my apartment which equals 50% off rent! Jobs!!

Today when I was at Target on my lunch break, I was looking for a really cheap jump drive, when I saw something amazing - a jump drive that is also an eraser! I'm not sure why anyone would ever need this combination, but I wanted it anyway. And you should too.

Crazy Kevin has banned Chris from the apartment for the last week I live there. This is actually not so much an act of craziness, but because Chris told everyone at Outback, among other things, that Kevin has no personality outside of drinking at 8AM. Which is hilarious, but also reason for banishment I suppose. No regrets on Chris's part, and I'm gonna be in Crystal Lake with him all weekend anyway, so it all works out. But it does make my day that Kevin tries to punish me like his rebellious teenage daughter.

I almost forgot, Hilary and I are moving twins! I may get to see her this week as a result of this, which is a welcome change of pace.

Final thoughts:
Everytime I see the word "hay" I read it as the Spanish word for "there is" and get really confused. I figure this is what it is like to be bilingual and feel very cultured, despite the not being able to read part. Then I remember that everytime I want to be nice to the busboys at Outback, I have to text Essie between every communication and end up just looking like a tool. Sigh. PS, does anyone know how many stamps I have to put on a letter to get it to Ecuador? Hay!
