ladybranwenI'm certain that you have all but forgotten what was going on with this story, so a quick recap. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
philosophercat opens the "Box o'Minxery" but comes up with only books, like an illustrated Jane Eyre. Then we cut to find shawk at work getting ready to bash her brains out due to the stupidity that surrounds her, luckily, she receives a call from alligatorandme informing her that she has tickets. Tickets to what? Why to a Giants vs. Dodgers game where they manage to insult poor victimized Barry Bonds who happens to be sitting behind them. Before learning their tragic fate, we cut to ladyshrew's room where Sir Bors happens to be hanging out reading Medea until her mother discovers him and his sword. So now we have...
ladyshrew, I bet you can figure out who's voice that is? It's someone I can't draw into this story, but I hope I didn't break any rules.
There you go. Back on track, finally!
My day today was filled with exciting people. Like the lady who decided that, no, she could not buy a reproduction photo but must have the original from the 20s. She pointed out the fact that since we had three copies that selling her one would make no difference. Um, maybe not if we were an antique store, but we are a museum and we sell repros, not the actual artifact. Since she couldn't get by me, she then decided that I wasn't important enough and I should ask someone else if she could buy it. Right. Whatever.
Then, a stupid phone call from a lady informing me that my carton of copier cartidges is on backorder but they are still going to honor the lower price which just went up to over $500, but I will get it for $400 something. I was like, "but I already got my cartridge and the copier is all fixed." Not to mention that is a lot of money. So I don't know if I got that straighted out or what, because she said she was going to call back after she talked to her supervisor. We only go through about a cartridge a year. Plus, she said there are 4 cartridges in one carton. We got our one cartridge for $69, which when times by 4, you don't get a $400+ carton. So I am confused, but hopefully we won't end up with them. If we do, I shall have to send them back because I never ordered them. So there. I dare you to defy me!
I went on the boat ride thing and I got to see dolphins up close! Like less than a stones throw from the boat. Well, I thought that was neat. There was one male all by himself in one area, then later on, we found a whole tribe of females. Unfortunately, my enjoyment of the pleasure cruise was tempered with the fact that I was sick to my stomach and wanted off the boat. So I really couldn't take any pleasure in guessing which expensive house belonged to Gloria Estefan or Bernadette Peters. The houses they have out there are just, well, not too my taste. I realized a long time ago that I don't like large houses. I really don't. And these were some pretty huge houses. Rich beach people! I'm still glad I went because I actually got to ride on two different boats, a pontoon boat and a speed boat. I switched over to the speed boat for the last five-ten minutes. I hadn't gone on it before because all the men were on that one and as much as I would have enjoyed it, that would have just been odd.
Hmm, maybe I'll attempt to use tags for my stick figure comic.

His reasoning? He couldn't hit pause at the exact moment of the cel on his videotape! (This was pre-DVD.)
