My lowest of lows on

I know this is nobody elses fault but mine, but I just feel down and had to write.  Today is veterans day.  As a veteran married to a veteran, father, uncle, and many others in my family are veterans.

So here's my low of the day.  Never in my wildest dreams it would come to this.  I went into the grocerty store, swiped my debit card and it didn't work.  She said her machine is acting up today, asked me to swipe again cos she had just opened her register.  2nd time it still did not go through, so told the cashier I'd go home and get my checkbook and come back.  Because we go grocery shopping at this store all the time and the manager knows us, he told us to go ahead and take the groceries home, put them in the fridge and the come back.  I double checked my account.  I usually keep a very good eye on it (you have to when the balance stays around $5.00), but my earlier purchase at the pet store went a little above what I had planned.  So I figured out how much money I needed, then took some groceries back to be returned.

I know, I know, nobody's fault but my own, but still having to take back groceries on veterans day was pretty low.

Our industry has gotten so bad with the pay continuing to drop.  Just stinks.  Maybe I should go down to the corner and push that hooker off the street and tae her place.  LOL
