minutae

i try not to post about minor daily incidents, but...

i just got bait-and-switched at the wienerschnitzel.

i've only been to the location by my house maybe twice since i moved here, but as i was driving home saturday, i saw they had a sign for 59-cent chili dogs. i thought "hey, that sounds good, it's been a long time since i had a chili dog", and pulled in. i got out of the car, and just before i walked in the door, i saw the fine print on the sign that said the deal was only valid on tuesdays after 4pm. annoying, but it was too late - i was already out of the car and hungry for them, so i went ahead and got the chili dog combo, which was tasty, but a little overpriced for the amount of food provided.

considering the state of the world these days, if that's the worst thing that happens to me this week, it's been a really good week.
