Minor updates in Hell(tm)

As of July 1st, the Bachelor Tax (my name for it) has gone into effect here in South Carolina (Okay, might just be Columbia, but I doubt it. I seem to recall op-ed pieces from Myrtle Beach on this.)

This tax is an increase in the sales tax on "prepared foods". Well, what that means is that any restaurant, fast food place, delivery place, but not grocery store is charging more sales tax. In addition, I know of at least one sandwich (well, pita) shop that has raised their prices recently as well.

Work is kinda blah. Really wanted to yell at some people last night for being dense enough to bring their kids to the store at 3 a.m. The kids, obviously, would rather have been in bed, judging by the carrying-on.

On a plus note, the Kinkos-South Park icons I'm doing for the folks at work proceedeth nicely. If I can manage it, I'll have them all done by Saturday, and have the poster of such up in the store by Sunday. The grimacing SP Kinko's logo of me (similar to the one above, but with the same font as on the real aprons) will be the one I will be on said poster.

And PowerBall is estimated to be up to 200 mil by Saturday night's drawing. Man, would I love to win that...
