I know I did the transaction as a credit, but take the damn money already! I'd like to look at my account and see what I actually have, thank you! 9_9

Anyway... finally found out what psychology textbook I need for class... and it was a custom edition. McGraw-Hill lets instructors put together their own custom version of a textbook. Had the textbook been the regular version, I could've gotten it for $77 (lowest price I saw that wasn't an "international edition" from Thailand... the book is already a very recent book, still in its 1st edition), but because it was custom and I didn't want to end up with a book with different numbered pages or something, I had to buy it from the school bookstore... which meant paying, at the very least, $101.75 used, $135.63 (or something) new. I decided, screw it, and threw in the extra money for them to ship it to me. I'm already spending the money.

More issues with the office pool! Steve told me to tell everyone that the office pool was closed at 68 people, 340 sets of numbers. Right after I sent the e-mail, Patricia e-mailed back, "I have my $$$, who do I give it to?"

And then I took her money and slapped her in the face with it. (Not really. I wish I could've, though.)

I told her Steve had already gone around, and the pool was closed and no longer accepting money. She said, "He did, but I was in a video meeting." Mind you, EVERYONE ELSE who was not going to be around either gave their money to me earlier, or gave their money to someone else. This includes some of the ditzier people. The only one who didn't was the boss, because he was going to be late, and I actually put money in for him because I knew he was going to be late. Not Patricia. I told everyone yesterday Steve would be coming around, so she missed out. I'd feel bad if I didn't expressly tell everyone to expect Steve. Then again, she's really ditzy. She's the mayor of Cloudcuckooland. As I told Joseph, I couldn't do anything about it, because Steve had already bought the tickets.

She WAS a part of the first pool, though, so at the very least, she has nine sets of numbers to go on tonight, along with the numbers she'll undoubtedly buy for herself, because I don't know anyone who's not buying their own set. Office pools are great when they hit. Looking out for #1's better if YOU hit. (I've already got it in my mind that if I do hit it by myself, my coworkers are getting some. At least a few of them. Maureen, Joseph, and Dona, most definitely.)

And one more thing: Sharone's on vacation. No one put money in for her. A fair few of us have a low opinion of her, but what shocked me was Fofie put money in for herself, but not her supposed BFF. I told Mom, that shows you who your friends are.

$5 Lottery game, top prize being $500.

The ONLY reason I'd consider playing this game is the fact that the top prize is under $600, so I could cash it in at a retailer and skip taxes on it. The odds are decent, too. Still, $5 is kinda steep...

Put in an application for a loan. I know, flip-flop. XD; Credit card and Ashworth. I need to keep in mind that I have to pay them off.

True Blood isn't coming on next week, damnit. It is, but they're rerunning the first three episodes for people to catch up. Next new episode's not for two weeks, sob.

I have chocolate chip cookies and milk. I am a happy CJ.

And I think tomorrow I'll try a writing sprint. I did this and got 5,648. I know I won't reach that tomorrow unless I have no distractions after the Ops meeting, but I'm game.

I was SO tired today, and that's after being dead asleep before 10pm last night and not waking up until nearly 6:30 this morning... and I only woke up at that time because I'm conditioned.
