| | | So here is my night thus far: Did another double at work today. I work right next to NYC so we had swarms of blank eyed, blithering idiots drinking and wandering aimlessly. At 9:45pm the owner says I can close at 10 instead of 11. This unfortunately, was right after the fireworks ended and the masses started their zombie-like stroll back to the train station. So I fight my way through hundreds and hundreds of people. People decked out in flags when they probably couldn't even tell you the first line of the Declaration. I manage to wade through the sea of humans and get to the train station. There are about 1,000 people crammed in the station and only TWO ticket booths open. Now, normally you can pay for your ticket in cash on the train. They will charge you and extra $5 for doing so, but there was no way in hell I would have been able to get a ticket in time. So I run to the ATM, take out a $20 and offer it to the conductor. He refused to take my cash and wouldn't let me on the train. Fuck. So I walk another 3/4 mile back to the store and call my boyfriend. My boyfriend, being the wonderful man that he is, offered to drive over to pick me up so I wouldn't have to wait until the 1:32am train to go home. This, unfortunately, is when things started to get really fun. He gets to the general area, but the traffic on the major highway gets bad. The town I work at is one exit away from NYC. He sat in traffic for an hour, but then his car started to overheat. He was in the middle of bumper to bumper traffic with no where to pull over. So he cranks up the heat and puts the windows down. Another hour later (now) I get a call saying that they blocked off the entrance to NYC so all of those people are redirected to the exit he needs to take to get to me. Apparently people are making uturns in the middle of the high way, going against traffic, to turn around. The cops, unsurprisingly, do nothing. As of right now his car is still moving. I probably wont be getting home for quite a long time. The best part? I get to do another double tomorrow. Happy fucking 4th of July.

| | | This always happens on a holiday, never fail. I get a phone call yesterday morning about 8:30 from my bank's fraud protection unit in EBE Utah that says that my debit card was compromised and used in Spain. The only upside is they only got about 60 cents out of my account. Then I call my bank this morning, they tell me it's my fault since it keeps fucking happening, then bitch about having to order one for the third time in two years. I use my card online, but I am firewalled up the ass, if anyone can find a way through dual hardware firewalls with a port scanner, as well as a decent software firewall, good luck to them and they deserve my card information. On top of this, I clean my caches every other day and don't allow any auto complete data on my computer to remain because I use my card online. So...it's one of five companies that's had card information stolen, since I've only used the damn thing at these companies in the past six months. So fuck National Grid, Amazon, Security Mutual Insurance, Blizzard Entertainment and the Ticonderoga Federal Credit Union...all of their internet security systems must suck balls.
