spiderdust~Went to my OccMed appointment, had my wrist looked at. It seems to be healing ok, but there was some numbness in my pinky and the side of my hand, so the doctor gave me a new wrist support/brace (a soft neoprene one) & scheduled a follow-up for Friday. I'm allowed to lift up to 10 pounds now, so I can go back to work tomorrow.
~I didn't get to talk to the store manager today; he was in a meeting when I stopped by. I poked my head in, said "hi", and told him that I needed to talk to him about something later when there was time.

ldyicefire this time. She cracked up laughing during the scene where the Maria-Robot does the hootchie at the men's club.
~Went to Costco today, found a Halloween costume for the Munchkin. She had been insisting for a while that she wanted to be a star for Halloween ("Do you want to be a mermaid?" "No, a star." "How about a fairy?" "No, I want to be a star." "Spider-Man?" "No, I want to be a star and have sparkly things."), but when she saw the pink unicorn costumes, she changed her mind.
Thank goodness, because I had no idea how I was going to make a star costume.
~I'm writing an angry letter to Starbucks tomorrow.ldyicefire & I decided to get coffee after the movie, and a Starbucks was across the street. When we went in, they still had at least 45 minutes before closing. I asked for a decaf venti coffee. Not a cappucino or a latte, I just wanted the venti coffee-of-the-day for $1.65 + tax, and I wanted it in decaf. I didn't think that would be too difficult.
I was told that they didn't have any decaf right then. Ok... how long would it take to brew some? About 3 minutes? Great! I'll have a decaf venti coffee-of-the-day, please.
Barista person: So, you want a venti decaf Americano?
Me: What? No! I just want a big regular coffee, but in decaf.
Barista person: Well, we don't have any, so I have to make you an Americano.
Annoyed Me: Fine.
(For those that don't know, a cafe Americano is diluted espresso... and costs $2.30 + tax at Starbucks.)
To further piss me off, we were charged the Americano price... and IT WASN'T EVEN DECAF.
*grumble rumble gurgle roar*
It's one thing if you're completely out of a product (and they weren't, they had decaf beans for sale), but this struck me as a case of just-too-lazy-to-make-a-new-pot.
