This time of day should not exist in the summer months.  It should be referred to as "Happy Alexis Denisof Dream-Time REM Sleep".  I should still be curled up in my delicious new sheets made from the softest, almost slimy-smooth T-shirt material.  Instead, I'm waking up to drop my brother off at a camp when it was decided without my notice that I wasn't required to wake up in the first place.

Communication issues for the win!

In other news, World of Warcraft is a satanic black hole full of skimpily-dressed Night Elves with stupid long ears.  It's getting harder and harder to walk away from it, but somehow I think I'll manage.  Probably I'll be returning it to the store.  Good move, TenLSD. 

So my place of employment (read: my bank) got bought up by Beneficial and now we're merging.  But instead of staying on for the very frustrating change-over, training, and angry customers who insist that they've "been with F&M for thirty years", they don't have to show their ID and why are you taking so long processing my transaction when you were only trained on this new system for eight hours and four weeks ago with no practice at that, I've decided to quit.  I'll need all kinds of support to stay strong, I know.  Love me, hold me, never leave me. 

Beneficial has the audacity and nerve to place holds on cash deposits.  You know what that means?  That means that you hand your perfectly legal tender to a Beneficial teller - money that you could use to immediately pay whoever is threatening to break your kneecaps if you don't pony up - and they don't allow you to use it until a day later.  Now, due to the complaints of hundreds of Farmer's customers, Benestalin has relinquished that rule.  But that goes to show that F&M customers have a lot more balls, and customers of the hostile takeover have been living with this all this time.  What idiots.

And speaking of a lack of balls, did you know that Beneficial tellers sit behind bulletproof glass?  Yeah!  I know!  Did you also know that they're installing no such thing in all the F&M branchs being converted?  Yeah!  I know.  Weak.  I mean, I'd never take a bullet for the bank - not when everything's FDIC-insured - but I don't really want the situation to ever present itself.  For those of you who don't "hablo el dinero", FDIC means that the government will reimburse you for any money stolen from your accounts by armed means, and then take it out in trade from the poor idiot who held up a bank teller only to get a couple thousand (tops) in cash.  Life advice: don't ever rob a bank.  Rob a WaWa or even Tarantino it and rob a restaurant.  But don't ever go up against an institution specifically protected by a money-mongering government.  You'll lose, they'll kill you, and then they'll go to work on you.

Speaking of the Ocean films, in a recent study conducted by me, I found the 13th to be better than the 12th but not as good as the 11th.

This has been your friendly (still)neighborhood Snyderwoman with an update from the front.
