Great day for venting - tax day!

I went grocery shopping the oter day thinking it was the perfect day to do it. Why I think these things I don't know. Anyways, I do a big shop at No Frills in Casselman because the boys ate us out of house and home (well I think it was Jacob actually) and it is cheap there so I stock up on fruit, veg, and pantry items. I buy my meat elsewhere but I digress. I get up to the check out and she checks out a $100 worth which is a lot of groceries in a cheap place. She is almost done, 2 more limes to check out and it's over and her computer dies. She has to reboot. My items are lost. She looks at me and says "I will have to check all that in again" as I look at my packed groceries in my Earth friendly bags, the packing was done by moi. I am not packing them again and I say "Can't you use the receipt that is almost finished to reenter numbers and she says "yes!", thank god. I am not sure how long it took her but we were there a while. She kept apologizing and I kept saying "what can one do?". I knew then that I should go home and not go anywhere but what did I do? I went to Loeb, I mean Metro as it is now called. I picked up some meat and on sale items and as the "quick" cashier (16 itmes or less) ran the juice over the scanner I saw that the regular price came up. I told her it wasn't the sale price and I could not remember exactly how much it was but I knew it was on sale. She looked at me and said "Do you expect me to remember every item on sale in this place?". It was laughable. I looked at her and said "I do not work here, you do. So yes." Then she didn't offer to go get the price and I told her to leave it out. Then as she ran the next item over the scanner the price did not even come up and she grunted"I will have to go get that price. Grunt again". I told her to not waste her energy and leave that out as well. Can you believe this? ha Not the perfect day to go grocery shopping.
Jacob has his glasses!!! He got them yesterday and was excited, then he decided he wasn't wearing them, then he got excted again. Hormones......He took them to school today so that's a good sign.
Had another guy over for a AC unit quote yesterday, he will call me with it before Friday. Nice guy and local too so we'll see. I want to order one on Monday regardless. Two local guys are in the running so that's a good thing.
