I bought 2 burritos, and then I went back in to buy more food, but my transaction was declined. I called the bank and they said that there wasn't any attempt to process the transaction by the merchant, meaning that the bank didn't decline the transacion, the merchant did, so I figured: maybe the merchant doesn't want my money. I didn't feel bad, though, because I only buy promotional items, and they probably lose money when I shop there. Whatever, everyone has to cut there losses at some point.
Anyway, when I got in my car, it wouldn't start, my battery died, and, I started to get paranoid because bad luck usually limits itself to one fucking bad luck item per day. Since I drive a manual, I figured I could push-start, but I forgot how to do that.
Nightmare. Really. Anyway. I didn't do anything else for the day. I did notice that the soda fountains are working again. I guess the Russians are going easy on us and not disrupting the fountain drink supply as much, but Nikita Khrushchev was a huge Pepsi fan, so they should give us a break in his honor!

Two more hours of my shift left. What am i thinking about? Ear plugs. The noise levels in an industrial setting can be annoying.

I went to QuikTrip this morning instead of 7-Eleven. They actually have some kind of new hotdog that's pretty good.
Sometimes I wonder if the challenges I face sometimes work in my favor. The incident at 7-Eleven the other morning kind of pissed me off, but maybe I needed to try something else for breakfast anyway.
