I ordered some girl scout cookies from one of my co-workers and the order came in recently. And… I was a little disappointed. The cookies were tasty, but kinda small. There was also more air and packaging in the box than cookies as well. I also found out that the troupe only makes 50 cents on each box – and the boxes are $4.00 each. I think this may be my last order of cookies from the Girl Scouts. Too bad – they really did taste good.<\/p>\n
Playing a game on my computer recently, I discovered a new difficulty level. In addition to Normal, Hard, and Torment, I also have: Cat. In this mode, Thunder(cat) drops a paw onto the back of my mouse-moving hand and proceeds to randomly flex his claws. He especially enjoys doing this while I’m fighting a huge boss. Or he’ll stand directly between me and the screen and bat at the movement of the cursor. I’d get mad at him, but he’s just trying to get my attention – and, well, he’s a cat. A certain amount of “jerk behavior” is to be expected.
\nIn other news… I went and gave blood yesterday at Best Buy. Well, at the Red Cross set-up in the Best Buy storage room. This puts me at 71 pints – one away from 9 gallons life time. Which is kind of amazing. And if you’re kinda gross, that’s almost 2 Home Deport orange buckets-of-blood. \u00a0Not that I recommend buckets as an effective way to transport blood.<\/p>\n
The staff at the blood drive were all business – which I guess is okay. Though I would have liked a smile or two. I mean, I try to help them along with the process since I know what steps are next. And I’ve got awesome veins – or so I’ve been told. They were all a little grumpy – but I guess working on the weekend will do that.<\/p>\n
The donation was uneventful and in the snack area I saw that Keebler had donated the cookies. Which was a nice thing to do, so I liked their page on facebook. And free cookies always wins over $4.00 a box cookies.<\/p>\n
