I failed my permit exam
Now I have to bother my mom for at least another weekend.
I blame myself

If you're talking about driving, don't worry: I know sooo many people who failed their first time too. And me...I haven't even gone yet, even though I could've for the last two years :x

got my license via mail didn't move a muscle

...wat

That doesn't make sense

though I doubt it's what they're talkin about (as they'd still need to take a permit test), it's possible to take a test for the Learner's Permit and then not actually take a Driver's License test in some states in the US, as the Learner's will automatically be upgraded to a Driver's License after a certain age/amount of time.

So, you can receive your license via mail and not have to move a muscle (although in that case it's technically not a license card until you go to the DMV, however the thing you receive in the mail gives your Permit the authority of a License anyway)

what I meant was that I got my license without taking any test, just delivered to my home. (I know a guy).

So it's a full license rather than a provisional? That sounds... extremely dangerous :/

here you could always just go to the local governmental office and ask for your license, the only thing you needed was to 18 years old +
now its has also changed

I've felt like a drowned rat the entire day today. Been raining all day, so taking the bike to work made me real wet, then preparing the train and trying to get one of the doors to work made me even wetter. And then when I finally was inside the train and started driving, then naturally it came water trough the ventilation. And the heat did not work. And in this pattern the day has continued.

Sorry, I told you before that the phone is acting rather strange.

Paying by credit card in our shop is a little bit complicated because there is much signing and initially of receipts and waiting forever for the slightly dated card machine to dial up. So why, for the love of Thor, after seeing four of your friends go through this, would you INSIST on paying by card for a postcard that costs FORTY SODDING PENCE?!

[KainTheVampire]

Maybe she/he didn't have change?

Who doesn't walk around with any cash at all? We are not the only shop in Edinburgh with a really old card machine and there are tons of stores that don't take cards at all. We only have one at all because Historic Scotland is government run. You have to be really thick to try to go shopping down the Royal Mile on cards only.

Spoiler: In case you are sensitive

Killed two moose yesterday when driving the train, at least I hope I killed them however cold-blooded that may sound. Because if I didn't then they'd be suffering until the hunters find them or the die by themselves, if they are found that is. But I am rather calm about it Dunno if that makes me a horrible person. I mean it is sad, but I can't say I am feeling very sad, just a bit.

I lost an hour of sleep since someone across the street decided it was a perfect time to use a hammer and power saw for who-knows-what and I couldn't fall back asleep because of it.

Edit: And on top of that...

Spoiler: Rude People Ranting

First: a lady called asking if she could buy the special we were running and redeem it next month since she was still going through rehabilitation for her arm (she broke it or something, I guess) and whether she had to come to 10 consecutive classes. I told her she didn't have to come to the classes consecutively (which she tried arguing with me over since the special said it had to be consecutive). I also said it was fine to redeem her special next month, but she didn't really seem to be listening since she asked me to repeat it (which I did). After that, though... she sneered "Some help you are" before hanging up the phone. I answered both of your questions, lady, even though you were outright rude.

Then another lady called. Dad was the one who picked up the phone, but she already had an attitude because the site offering the special wouldn't refund her the money, so I could still hear her all the way across the dohjang. She got really upset when dad said that he was only allowing 4 new students into the class and that this coming Monday (the only day that we have classes that she could come to) was already booked for this week. She started lecturing Dad on how to run his school and that the special should state that only 4 new students are allowed in each class. (The special does say that you have to schedule your first class... "Scheduling" means "limited space available) Dad decided to just have her come in and he'd refund what she paid. She did come back in... and started rudely lecturing dad again as he was writing out the check. I didn't have to deal with her, sure, but it still annoys me when people are that rude.

Me, a lot of times.
