Comcast
I woke up at 8am. Having slept on the floor, no back pains today, we put some cushioning between my back and the ground which really seems to have done the trick, aside from my having trouble falling asleep - which I tend to want to blame on the Dr Pepper I had at Arby's for lunch. But I'm just being weird.

Anyway, I showered, had an Apple for breakfast and headed off to catch the bus to campus and start my day. Was at the wrong spot at the right time to catch the 225, 15 minute later I caught the 203. No biggy, I wasn't in any hurry.

Got off at Baseline just before Broadway, and walked across to Colorado. Saw the Hop, but couldn't get to the stop in time, so I jaywalked against the light, and sprinted (and I mean sprinted, I think I hit near my top speed on the run) to the bus stop, turned a 180, and the bus stopped for me. *flex*

Got off the bus and walked over to Comcast. They suggest I buy a router. And I can rent the modem and that would make service $45.95 (instead of $55.95) because they consider me a customer. Yay! ($3.00 of that is the modem, which I might buy instead) And their on-going special is the first two months free, which would be quite fine by me, saving Matt and I at least eighty dollars.

Walked back to campus, bought my books and hit up work. I was a little early, so I hung out with my student-co-worker Nagi. Fun was had.

The World of Work Inventory (WOWI)
I had a meeting with all of the Counselors to go over my WOWI, the test I referenced yesterday. As it turns out, I'm a bad-ass. According to this test, everything but my organization skills are above average. Meh.

Long story short, the jobs the test suggested were:
Actor,
Bill and Account Collector,
Bookeeping, Accounting and Auditing Clerk,
Coach and Scout,
Commercial and Industrial Designer,
Copy Writer,
Creative Writer, Poet and Lyricist,
Demonstrator and Product Promoter,
Employment, Recruitment, and Placement Specialist,
Human Resources Assistant,
Illustrator,
Musician and Singer,
Payroll and Timekeeping Clerk,
Professional Photographer,
Purchasing Agent and Buyer,
Purchasing Clerk, Real Estate Broker,
Retail Salesperson,
Sales Representatives,
Wholesale and Manufacturing,
Secretary and Administrative Assistant,
Teller

I thought that was pretty cool. I'm like, go me, "Actor"! Copy Writer could be interesting, as well as Creative Writer. Those would be the cool, creative, love-to-get-paid-to-do jobs.

While most of that other stuff is meh, the dreams are crushed, I will fall back on my formal education to support me jobs. With the exception of Musician and Singer which falls into the category of not ev-er going to happen, being that I have no musical talent, and even less ability to sing.. unbelievably tone deaf, thank you very much.

No real surprises in the test, but I've got it all on paper now. So watch out!

Lunch
Lunch today was a Small One-Topping Pizza from Domino's, half-Pepperoni, half-Sausage. When I ordered I thought it was a dollar more than it should have been, but I wasn't really caring because it's cheap pizza. I've got the box next to me, and apparently, that extra dollar was a delivery fee. Now I ask you, "What the fuck?"

It's Domino's Pizza, the CEO says he's in the delivery business, not in the pizza business. Why would you charge an extra dollar, and so blatantly call it "Delivery Charge" when deliveries are your bloody business?!

Charge me more for my pizza, and tell me the ingredient cost has gone up. Something that makes me feel better about my pizza. Don't give me the same pizza I've been ordering and tell me, "oh, it's a dollar more now because.. it costs more to deliver." Bullshit. You drive the same three miles you did before. And gas has not gone up so far that I wouldn't mind it.

Argh. And yes, I realize he's in the delivery business, he should charge whatever he wants for deliveries. I disagree. Because I can! After all, I'm outraged.. and outadollar.
