Oddly enough, I have a birthmark on my right thigh that looks like the side view of a grenade without a pin. I am quite happy with it so I don't really want to have a different one. |

| Retail Rant III |
[Jan. 21st, 2007|02:41 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  okay | ] |
Greetings, one and all! Welcome to another retail rant! Which is much shorter than my previous ones, but nonetheless experienced by many retail workers.
1) Alright, let's start off from this one from last week. Now when you go shopping what is one of the first things you checl? If you said keys or gas, though those are good answers, you're wrong. One of the things you should check is how much money you have. It's not hard. Most people have a check book with the spread sheets in them where they calculate the amount of money they have used and how much they currently have. There's also the ability to check your bank accounts online to see how much you have. If your debit card has credit (which it most likely will) then it usually accounts for expenses that you've paid for through credit, even though they haven't FORMALLY gone through yet. Which is handy.
But apparently a pair of female college students don't know how to check their accounts or wallets before they leave to go shopping. Or know how to budget. Alright. From the beginning, it starts out as one of a pair of girls coming through a line i was bagging for. She gets three bags of chips, a red bull, a cake and some other crap i can't remember. But anyway the total was like 15 bucks and something cents. Not breaking the bank, but she decides that she doesn't have enough and puts some stuff back. Well then she uses her debit card and finds out it's declined. She starts making a big deal about there being money on the card and everything. So we have to put her order on hold while she calls her bank on her cell phone. Apparently SOMEONE went clubbing last night and forgot. I only found that out because she have this sudden realization while she was standing next to me. So then she calls her dad, and has him put money into her account (not sure if it was hers but i don't care).
While this is going on, we've rung up her friends order and it's like 30 bucks, which again, not really bank breaking. She goes to pay cash and she realizes she doesn't have enough. And then she makes the same "oh guess we shouldn't have gone clubbing" comment her little idiot friend made earlier. So she puts some things back too (i did a lot of go-backs that day), which isn't a problem, and she pays. So after that, the first idiot finally pays for her order and the two leave. They took up 25 MINUTES IN LINE. We usually have people out in around 2-10 depending on the size of the order. If they have a cart full it usually takes 10 minutes with a bagger, not too much longer without one though. Sure as hell not 25 minutes.
Alright, now the next one was on the same day, but this time it's a guy. Probably safe to say he was in his late teens/early twenties, by how he looked. So anyway, he's buying two boxes of condoms and a single rose. Guess someone's expecting a romantic night. WELL ANYWAY, same problem. He doesn't have enough cash on him, so you know what he puts back? Nope, not one of the boxes of condoms which are almost 7 bucks each. He puts back the ROSE. The 1.99 rose. The rose which was for his girlfriend (i know it's a girlfriend because he mentioned her when i said how the rose was pretty). Wonder what's going to happen when they're wedding comes around.
2) OK. Now if you've seen Ron White's comedy skit about him being arrested "for drunk in public" or have any common sense, then you know that if you're so drunk you have trouble standing, YOU DON'T LEAVE THE FUCKING HOUSE! Or if you're that plastered at a bar, hang out there until someone can come get you! Don't get in your car, risk the lives of the drivers/bicyclist/pedestrians that share the road with your moronic ass, and decide to drive to my store to find out when the liquor store opens. In my town it's around noon on sunday (this happened today) because of the city ordinance. That's what happened with this one woman. She comes to our store, and goes into one of the lines. She's having trouble standing and is slurring her words, asking when the liquor store opens. The cashier tells her noon, and she leaves, BUT NOT BEFORE PISSING HER PANTS IN THE DAMN LANE AND TRAILING IT OUT OF THE STORE!!! Guess who had to clean it up! If you guessed me, you're right! I cleaned it up, both the huge puddle and the little trails. I think she might have been so drunk she didn't even realize that she pissed herself because she just staggered off. No "OMG I PEED MY PANTS" or nothing. So later she comes back, STILL DRIPPING from when she pissed herself earlier. She leaves the store. I clean it up again and go back to the bathrooms to wash my hands.
Now let me interrupt right here, just to say that hey if you have a bladder problem or your kid can't hold it anymore, causing an accident, i don't mind so much cleaning it up. BUT IT YOU COME INTO OUR STORE SO DRUNK YOU CAN HARDLY STAND AND PISS YOURSELF AND TRAIL IT ALL OVER THE FRONT END, THEN THAT IS GROUNDS FOR YOU BEING PUNCHED IN THE FACE!!! Anyway, that being said...
So i come back to the front after washing my hands (bathrooms are in the way back of the store) and i find out that there are police in the parking lot. Four freaking squadcars worth, might i add. So here's what happened, by eyewitness account and a bit of assumption. The drunken woman goes to get into her car (a red PT Cruiser), probably still unaware she's pissed her pants, and as soon as she goes to put her keys in the ignition, FOUR SQUADCARS surround the PT Cruiser and they remove her from the car. They give her the sobriety test. She fails of course. So they arrest her for DUI (she wasn't driving yet, but i guess as long as she was intending to, it works). One of the female cops was having a particularly hard time with the woman. I guess the woman's was so drunk her breath reeked of alcohol so much that the cop was feeling ill. That and the fact, she was so fucked up, she looked like she'd just crawled out of a dumpster. So I wound up giving her trash bags, just in case. So they tow the woman's car and take her away to jail for DUI. But here's the thing, NO ONE knows who called the cops. Because no one on the front end did, mainly for the fact we didn't think she'd come back and we thought she was walking (we have weirdos who live all over the place and walk to our store). Our guess is that the woman who had been before her called the cops because she had a cell phone, but that's basically the assumption i was talking about earlier.
This is to the person who did call the cops on this drunken idiot. Thank you. You're a wonderful person. You prevented a drunken moron from going out and driving and possibly injuring and/or killing someone. To that, I salute you. You may not know whether or not your call made a difference, but it did and everyone who works alongside me agrees. Because of your quick action, the intoxicated woman was arrested and taken to jail, where she'll wake up and go "WTF!? WHERE AM I?!". She will hopefully learn a lesson from this. If not, hopefully we'll be quick enough to beat you in making the next call to the cops the next time she comes in. Well that is if she's not already trespassed. Once again, Thank You.
SO YEAH, that's all folks. Lessons are don't drink and drive, or go to a grocery store shit-faced drunk and pee in one of the lanes. Also keep track of your cash, it'll save you in overdraft fees, i guarantee it. See you in the future for another Retail Rant! |

Three feet long... THAT is how long the damage to my car is after some jackass hit my car while my mom was borrowing it. SHE WAS PARKED. SHE WAS GETTING OUT OF THE CAR WHEN THIS GUY HIT THE CAR. Thankfully my mom's fine. And when my mom called the cops to report the accident, the guy threatened to lie to the police and tell them that she hit him. Heh yeah right asshat, like they're gonna believe that when you already have a pre-existing dent on your car. Oh and one more thing, he forgot to turn his wheels away from the car! So that was proof against him. I was listening to my mom and dad talk about it when i heard the estimated cost of damages (courtesy of the police officer) was two-freaking-thousand dollars!!! Boy i ran out there to my car and was freaking pissed when i saw the damage. A HUGE yard long scrape and dent right over my right tire well and across half of my back right door. The bastard's lucky he didn't hurt the handle to the door ya know because that would make it very hard for people to get in and out of it!!! I just had to have the a part back there fixed because it was making this rattling noise. Hope that didn't get broken. I took pictures for the insurance company and i hope the bastard was found to be drunk (like my father suspected) and arrested. If you can't get out of a gas station parking lot, without hitting one of the cars parked there, where a woman is getting out of the car... THEN YOU DON'T NEED TO BE DRIVING!!! i'm really glad my mom is ok though, she was still shook up when she got home due to how belligerent the bastard was towards her. She's still borrowing my car for a bit. i get it back monday since i work x-mas day. Hoorah. Well i have a story for my co-workers when i go back.
Oh, guess what? i'm sick... again. For the third MONTH in a row. |

| Weird stuff that made me laugh... |
[Oct. 13th, 2006|10:26 pm] |
If you haven't already heard about this, i heard on the radio about two cops out in New Mexico who went to a Burger King and ordered burgers. They thought they tasted weird so they took them to a lab and had them tested to find out what was in them and found out there was marijuana in the burgers. Three burger king employees were arrested.
Another weird bit of news. I saw in the paper today that someone was trying to sell mummified remains on ebay. Now i saw in the article that skeletons are allowed to be sold for teaching and stuff like that. Who would try and sell mummified remains on ebay? Wouldn't that fall under the 'not allowed to sell body parts' thing of ebay? More importantly i wonder how that would be shipped? Would they have to mail it with dry ice or something? |

Alrighty, things have changed since my last post. First of all, my brother lucked out of jury duty because he's a college student... Yeah... sucks to be me right now. But that's not all. For some reason, SOMEONE doesn't want me to forget about my jury duty date.
1) Milk expiration dates. For some reason a week a ago, all of the expiration dates were October 3.
2) Flu shots. This is the first date my store is offering flu shots. Gotta be a coincidence.
3) Various dates that involve the premiere of television shows. This is getting annoying.
And then this one is the kicker. All of you in the Swarm know about my Full Metal Alchemist pocket watch, and those of you who don't... Well... I have one. And if you're a die-hard fan you probably know what's coming next...
I lost my wrist watch in my room somewhere. Trust me that's not hard, Duo can vouch for that. And so i grab my pocket watch and hurry to work. Now while i'm at lunch I open it up to check the time and i see the inscription. It reads:
"Don't forget 3.Oct.11(11)"
ONCE AGAIN. October 3! I'm pretty sure the 11 with the superscript 11 (the 11 in parentheses) is the year.
Also if you don't know what the date in the pocket watch is for....
"SPOILERS FOR FMA..."
The date Ed and Al burned down there old house and left Risembool.
Alright... now if you happen to wonder why i put that in, there's a reason. I told my mom about what the date meant, and you know what she said?
"You know what would be funny? Is if you wound up a jury member on an arson case."
I'll... let you know if that happens or not. Just sharing my funny thoughts. See ya laters! |

Alrighty! It's been a while since i've ranted so i think i'll do that now. Things that have been pissing me off lately.
1) Work. I'm a dual class worker, which means i'm a cashier and clerk, but i'm only getting scheduled as a clerk. Looks like i'm going to be looking for a new job.
People at work. This is regarding both co-workers and customers. For the co-workers, i find myself having to do their jobs alot now because they're off doing shit they shouldn't be doing when it's busier than hell and i'm the only bagger up there!
Oh yeah another thing. If i'm scheduled to come in later in the morning... DON'T CALL ME AT 7 IN THE FUCKING MORNING TRYING TO GET ME TO COME IN EARLY!!! It really pisses me off that the bookkeeper decided to call me this early. Especially after last night... >_< death to all... I mean wait until a decent hour in the fucking morning to call...
Now for the customers... Oh boy this is gonna be a long one. Customers don't seem to notice the STOP SIGNS in our fucking parking lot. Apparently they forgot one of the things they learned in both kindergarten and driver's ed. The big red octagon with big white letters that say 'STOP' means you need to fucking stop! There is also a pedestrian crosswalk in front of said stop sign. I've almost been hit twice because some stupid ass muncher decided to floor his stupid car (usually a mustang or another type of expensive car which is used to compensate for something) past the stop sign and out of our parking lot!
Ok... Now in our area we have people who take our carts down the road, cause they live in the nearby trailer park. If you're gonna take it that far, do it. I had to walk all the way down to the damn fast food joint in the exact middle distance from my store to this damn trailer park to get it this morning. If it's at the trailer park i don't have to get it. Oh yeah and a very special place in hell is reserved for the bookkeeper from earlier, BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONE WHO MADE ME GET IT.
People who shit on the toilet seat, and the assholes from the night before who leave it there to harden, which makes it VERY HARD TO CLEAN UP. That's marks for both customers and co-workers.
Stupid kids who decide that instead of walking that they can use the ride on carts. Hey newsflash ya brats! There are people who need them a hell of a lot more than you do. And for parents of said brat? Good job you're teaching your brat that they can inconvenience the unfortunately handicapped for their own amusement! Geez!
Let's see... oh yeah! If you order something from the deli or the butcher block, and have the workers there cut it... DON'T CARRY IT ALL OVER THE FUCKING STORE JUST TO REALIZE "OH I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY BECAUSE I'M A DUMBASS" AND LEAVE IT IN THE FUCKING COOLER!!! WE LOSE MONEY BECAUSE OF IDIOTS LIKE YOU! All you have to do is give it to the cashier and we'll take it back to the proper department. We don't like coming into the store to find sliced deli meat frozen in the ice cream cooler because you couldn't walk up to the register (which is five feet away just so ya know) and hand it to someone!!! ARGHHHH!!!
Eh that's all i remember for work. If i remember more it comes up later.
*Things that are funny at work.
1)Warning new co-workers about certain customers with mental problems. They don't believe me when i tell them. Even funnier, when it's their first day and he comes through their line and i HAVEN'T warned them.
2)The lady who came in and told me about her purse was stolen. Now it's not the stolen purse that makes it funny, it's the fact that the thief called her friend (number's stored on the phone) and kinda became friends with her. She wound up getting a call from the police saying that he's been arrested. Unfortunately, the phone is prepaid, no way to track it. But the lady managed to lock all of her accounts before something happened. So that's good.
3)Kids that are screaming at the top of their lungs in the store. I don't know why, but i find this hilarious. It's like a report on how the parents are doing when raising their kids.
Alright that's it on that.
Back to things not being funny
2)Stupid kids. Now i'm referring to the kids that think that the only way to be cool and fit in are to shop at the mall and pay over 100 bucks for a pair of jeans. Now i admit, i have paid almost 100 bucks for something. My combat boots. My first pair lasted for 5 years of constant wear. I haven't worn my new boots that often because it's currently hotter than hell. When winter comes, that'll be another story. If you really have to pay some outrageous amount just to be friends with the "cool" kids, then you should REALLY start thinking what kind of friends they be when the trends change and your parents can't afford to buy you said hot item. I was raised on hand me downs. I came out just fine. When i have kids, i'm going to drill this lesson into their heads. I'm gonna have them give me a good reason why they need the hot item, and just so they can be a part of the higher social structure of their school is not going to be a good answer. Neither will be "because everyone's got it" or "it's the in thing". Now if they work for it, that's another story.
Lesson to parents with money. If your kids are old enough and can drive or can rely on you as a source of DEPENDABLE transportation. Make them get a job. Make them understand the value of a dollar as early as fucking possible. I'm sick of hearing about this shit. After high school NO ONE'S GOING TO CARE WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE WEARING!!! You can walk around in a toga at your college and no one will care! So why cave into the social expectations of the idiotic!? Be your own person!
Oh and to the parents who home school their kids to shield them from teasing? Teasing is a part of life, get over it. It happens. A quick chat with a vice principle or the principle will end it REAL quick. Or the police if need be. Teasing is a part of the growing process. It tells us, that there are assholes in this world. It teaches us to get over these assholes and look on the brighter side of life. Being teased in some kind of weird way turned me into an optimist. Now if your kids winds up almost suicidal, then by all means, get them counseling or get them the hell out of that school. Because apparently some of the faculty aren't doing their damn jobs!
Oh another thing. I understand that as kids, you should live your life and have a blast. If your grades are dropping, put the fun behind you for a bit until they get back up. Because if you get shitty grades in high school, you won't be able to go to college for free and you'll have to work for it. And that's a bitch. But i guess they'll at least be understanding the value of the education ^_^.
Wow this is getting pretty long.
4) Stuff at home. Well first off, I'm happy to say, DAD'S OUT OF TOWN FOR THE WEEK YAHOO!! I was pissed at myself because i forgot about this glorious week of peace and quiet.
But the first night was anything but. I'm trying to sleep and my brother's friends are calling on the phones. And then another is knocking on his window. The knocking kept me awake, the phones i can turn off the ringer. In short, i slept like shit and i'm reaaalllly tired right now.
My cats are driving me nuts too. KitKat is really pissed off at her brother Baby again and she wakes me up (without fail) whenever my mom goes to the bathroom every morning with Baby. She comes to my door and scratches and cries at it until i get up and let her in. And then she proceeds to make all kinds of noise when i don't have to get up for another 2 hours.
She's also very bold. Baby was in the hall in front of my brother's door. She walked right up to him, hissed in his face and walked into my brother's room. Poor Baby was like "What the fuck did i do?". The little guy's trying to be nice, but for some reason, she won't get over it. She also doesn't understand, WHY she can't be out of my room at all hours. Until i open the door. Then she sees Baby, hisses and growls at him, turns around and goes to sit on my computer chair.
If anyone who reads this has had this happen to them. Both cats are fixed, they came from the same litter and have lived together for eight years. The only other time this has happened was last year, for which i'm assuming will be the same 3 month period.
... Well that's it i guess. Enough ranting for today... I'm gonna go try out the soy milk i bought yesterday, because i'm damn tired of not being able to eat cereal without milk. Laters! Oh and btw, the Silk soy milk isn't bad. |

WELL. I'm mad at my cat and at myself a bit for underestimating my cat. My mom makes homemade beef jerky every so often and since my cat hadn't bothered the store bought stuff that was on my floor i figured the homemade stuff would be safe... WRONG. She took the bag of homemade beef jerky up into my moon chair and tore open the bag with her claws and teeth. When i came home i found the pieces of jerky sitting in my moon chair and the torn bag on my floor. So now i have to hide any homemade jerky that my mom makes from this point on. This is not just to protect my stash, but to protect my cat from hurting herself. The beef jerky i had today was only teriyaki flavored, next time it'll taste like spicy buffalo wings. ¬_¬ ()... Or covered in cayenne pepper... In which case both are very spicy and too much for kitty's tastebuds. Of course my mom finds the whole event hilarious. I guess it was kind of funny that my cat prefers the homemade beef jerky to the store bought kind. Who knew? |

I don't know what it is that started it all really, but my brother and my mom have been screaming at each other for a solid forty-five minutes. It's annoyingly normal to hear my brother scream at my mom about him wanting her to give him money or something when he's pissed off. My mom packed some of her things and left for work. I tried to talk to her but i'm not sure she's coming home or not. From what my brother keeps telling me it all started because my mom said he was fat to his face for like 20 times in the past three months. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but i know mom has been saying he needed to lose weight.
I'm worried my mom isn't coming home. She's never packed some of her things before and i'm afraid she might actually leave this time. If that does happen i may move out with her. She doesn't have her cell phone though so if she does leave i won't know where she is.
My brother is trying to get me on his side. He always comes and asks me (during their argument) whether such and such is wrong and stupid or whatever. I don't want to take sides, but i don't want my mom to leave. She's the one person who seems to keep me sane around here, when i have to deal with my drunk of a father or my brother. I yelled at him and i tried to get my mom to stay, but like i said I'm not sure if she's going to come home or not. From what he keeps saying my mom threatened to kick him out and call the cops on him and trespass his girlfriend. He's also saying that she told him he needs to get a job so he can pay for his books and classes and stuff because she's done giving him money. She actually said the part about money from what i heard.
So i'm doing what i can to finish the paper for the psychology project which is due wednesday. I'm crying alot right now too so i'm not going to be in the mood to talk to anyone today. My head's fucking pounding and my throat hurts from screaming at my brother. I screamed at full blast a few times. Some of you know how loud that is. So don't be surprised if i can't talk well tomorrow. For now i'm going to finish the paper so i can show it to the teacher tomorrow around 3:30 or just turn it in. |

[Jan. 11th, 2006|09:42 pm] |
Welcome back to Vaala's video game report! This time i'm doing a review on the PS2 game Dragon Quest 8. As usual art for the game is done by Akira Toriyama, the creator of the Dragon Ball series. If you're a fan of cell shading you won't be disappointed. You also won't be disappointed by this game if you're a fan of the other Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior (they're the same series the name just changed for some reason).
The story starts out with you and a man named Yangus traveling with a troll and a "horse princess". You're in pursuit of a jester named Dhoulmagus who stole a magic staff from the kingdom the troll and "horse princess" once ruled. No spoiler there, it's on the back of the box. You don't get to create your characters like you could do in Dragon Warrior/Quest 3, but you do pick up two more characters to join your party as they too are in pursuit of the jester. One's a girl named Jessica and the other is a knight named Angelo. I like the game as it progresses because you don't just say 'hi' to a character and ignore them for the rest of the game. If you run into a supporting character, chances are you're going to talk to each of them about 3 times to progress the story. Also the storyline is rather good, but i'll leave that to you to decide. I also like the characters and how in depth the story goes with some of them.
The skill leveling system is pretty interesting. As you level up, you get a number of skill points that you can allocate into different areas of weapon or special skill expertise. For example, the Hero (this is you) can allocate points in Swords, Spears, Boomerangs, Fisticuffs and Courage. As you allocate more points in a certain area you get more skills in that weapon area or stat bonuses. So you could dump all your points into one section until it maxes out of spread them out. I found that having points in boomerangs to be helpful when dealing with large groups of enemies.
Another feature of the game is the Alchemy pot. Basically you combine items to form better items. I managed to get one of the best spears in the game pretty early just by using this. This thing can also save you a load on gold, as gold is hard to come by in this game unless you're fighting gold golems.
For those of you that are interested in the voice acting. I have heard better but i think the VA's did a good job on this game. And for those of you who complain about the VAing being so horrible, trust me i have heard MUCH WORSE. If you think this game was bad with voice acting, play a game called Shining Force Neo. You'll gouge your ears out real fast. Now then, alot the voice acting of this game is kind of done with i'm assuming a british accent. I think it's a nice change, seeing as all i'm used to hearing is straight english.
The battle system is pretty straight forward. You can fight, use magic and items, flee, intimidate (scare your enemies into fleeing! RAWR!)or use the AI under the Tactics command. I don't use the AI because sometimes i forget that it's on and i wind up getting killed because Angelo is attacking with his bow and not casting Healing spells.
If you people have played the Dragon Warrior/Quest games then you're familiar with metal slimes and metal liquid slimes. Well they're back with metal slime kings as the best way to level in the entire game. Granted it's one of the most frustrating things to battle since they still run alot of the time.
There's also a monster arena where you can hunt monsters around the world and use them to battle so you can get items, weapons or armor for your main people. There are also two casinos in the game too. So there's no real shortage of things to do when you don't feel like running around and saving the world from evil.
The music is pretty good too, although it can get repetitive after a while (maella abbey's theme with the booming intro), but like i said before i have heard much worse in Shining Force Neo.
The controls of this game are really easy, so if you're not into game play that requires lightning fast reflexes this is a good game to pick up. My only complaint of this part is that the conversation and status screens have a bit of a lag after you hit the button to bring them up. It's no big deal tho.
If you're interested in this game, rent it or buy it (in my case i got it for christmas. Thanks, mom!). So far I've clocked around 50+ hours into this game and i'm not even done with it so it should keep you busy for a while. For my score on this game i'm going to give it a 9.5 out of 10. Now if you'll excuse me i'm going liquid metal slime hunting. |

Well I had an 'Oh Fuck' moment about an hour ago. Those of you at my school know that have a figure drawing class. I probably didn't mention that my portfolio is due tomorrow which forced me to put some finishing touches on some drawings. One of which is a pastel drawing. By pastel I mean Prismacolor NuPastels. To quote Duo they're "like a box of crayons met a box of chalk and had a baby". So if you hit a pastel drawing of mine with your hand the pastel would come off like chalk. Well thankfully not so much considering what happened.
I was sitting in my room at my easel putting some finishing touches on a pastel drawing. It had not been sprayed with fixative so the pastel could still smear. Well i called my mom to come look at it for her opinion. I had to move my easel's position so she could see the drawing (i have one of those metal easels, it's easy to move and isn't as sturdy as the wooden ones) and my drawing pad with the drawing on it fell over.
"Oh fuck..." were the only words i got out of my mouth before it landed...
...On me. >_< I was covered in pastel dust. If you're having trouble picturing what happened, picture me having a giant chalk board eraser fall on my head and shoulders while i'm trying to stop the easel from falling over.
All I have to say is thank goodness I work in LAYERS with those things or I would've been pissed off. Not just because it would've taken me an extra hour to fix it, but the fact that this was my favorite drawing I did in the entire semester.
Anyone else have any 'Oh Fuck' moments? |

ALRIGHT! I've been told by Kat that everyone is annoyed with my "lack of paying attention". As you may remember, I used to wear head phones and play GBA during conversations, which doesn't happen anymore! I think I'm getting better, but there are SOME people who don't think so. Well here's my message to them. I'LL WORK ON IT. But if I'm drawing and something is said don't expect me to have heard it because i'll be focused on DRAWING, especially when i'm trying to make something look right, like what happened YESTERDAY when Julian had just asked Jamie about Jaco. I wasn't paying attention to them until i heard the word "Jaco" and i wanted to make sure there weren't any fees since Lateralus said he was "pretty sure there were none". Since Jamie is associated with cons on a regular basis and the fact the JACO site itself says nothing about it, i figured i'd ask her to be sure. I just didn't want to find out when we go there that we had to pay some fee that we didn't know about beforehand. That's all. Oy.
Anyway, my apologies to those i've annoyed with this, and like i said earlier, I'll work on paying attention. Now let's get ready to have a Happy Halloween and a damn good time at Jaco Halloween! |
