I try not to complain about the weather, but the last three days here in Philly were downright B-R-U-T-A-L, thanks to the godawful heat wave that blanketed the east coast. From Tuesday through Thursday it was miserable, high 90's to triple digits during the day and no relief at night as temps only dropped to around 80. It was too hot even to hop on my machine which is why I'd been absent here for a brief bit. But, the heat wave finally broke late Thursday night and it's finally a little comfortable.
Normally, I don't drive into work all that often because the afternoon traffic is horrible, but I drove all three days for no other reason than to be in an air conditioned cabin in said afternoon rather than deal with mass transit. Whew! Just going around the corner to the cleaners yesterday to pick up clothes was a chore and a half. It was icky to the tenth power, but the really sad part was that four seniors died from a combination of heat and heat-related illnesses on Thursday, easily the worst day of the bunch temperature-wise. I tell you, folks, even though I love summer, this one can't end soon enough to suit me!

But anyways, we were just browsing through the collection of handbags. I simply wanted to know who the designer for a handbag in particular and I tried ask the sales associate, but then instead of being polite she had the nerve to act snotty by saying "oh that bag cost two hundred dollars." I knew that bag was two hundred dollars. She was just so rude about it, she could've been more helpful. I know why she acted that way, too. My friend and I looked as if we didn't have the money, (which we didn't), but still, you don't treat people like that. I hate it when I recieve terrible costumer service. 
It's getting a bit more infrequent but still happens regularly enough that I don't get enough good sleep - so annoying. And I feel so stupid in the morning, but at the time, I just wish I could die already right there.
) but in some 'quite' expensive ones (XD), that even just a little thing like changing my coat makes a difference. I wouldn't have believed it but going in with my shabby camo jacket I get all suspicious looks and a really curt treatment and looked at like I shouldn't be there, but if I go in wearing my long, expensive winter coat with fur and beads and gold embroidery trimming, I get a deferential and helpful look instead. I hate it when people are so shallow. ~_~
