Ok, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Here's the things that have gone on recently...

- The people at Subway are stupid. I went in there the other day and the East Indian woman who served me just couldn't speak English well enough to take my order. An example...there is a lot of difference between "cut the old way" and "cold cut trio". Sure, i guess you can see similarities between the two phrases, but someone making food for the public, in a place that really only does one thing with a number of variations, really should be able to do better than that. The woman also didn't understand the difference between salt and lettuce. I don't see the similarity in that one. When I got to the end of the counter they had the most filthy, foot-tall, home-made garbage can sitting on the counter among the freshly made sandwiches. So, after I left there with the crappy sandwiches they made I went to the Sunway website and wrote a complaint. Someone musta got their head chewed off, because I got a phone call 12 hours later from the manager. She left a message and when I called back I got another guy, who asked that I re-explain the situation. He was obvious quite annoyed...not at the woman who couldn't speak English well enough to do her job, but at me for complaining about it. He told me she was leaving on maternity leave in 10 days (she didn't look pregnant at all, as far as I could tell through the sneeze guard). He offered me two sandwiches. I had to press him to remove that garbage can, but he finally agreed. Now...I have to decide...do I really want to go back there for two free sandwiches?

- We went to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity, and it was pretty cool. I overdid it a bit and strained my back and overheated, but I felt pretty good after anyway. I'l be going back, but I hope that I won't be hauling wheelbarrow loads of gravel up and down hills again.

- Diablo II is once again sucking my brain out through the 1-4, F1-F8, Alt and Spacebar on my keyboard. I'm experimenting with a Necromancer now, since I played a Paladin to level 36 before I realized how much I hated him. Now I just need to figure out how to 'mule' so I can get all his good stuff onto the Necromancer.

- Dairy Queen puts way too much syrup in its Lemon-Lime Misty. My teeth hurt.
