What...am I invisible?

So, I'm standing in line behind two people at Safeway with a birthday card in my hand. A man pulls up behind me with a full cart, and the checker looks up at him and says, "There's no waiting on checkstand 12, sir."

It turned out okay though, because a few seconds later (before I'd had time to get thoroughly steamed), another checker came and got me out of line and said, "I can help you on checkstand 9." It was strange -- maybe my original checker wanted to make sure I was first with the new guy. Who knows? I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, I guess.

On a brighter note, I had an appointment to renew my drivers' license today. It doesn't sound bright, does it? But stay with me! I was in and out of the DMV in less than 15 minutes. That's got to be a new land-speed record! I studied, just in case they made me take the written test, but the only test they put me through was reading the eye charts. Whew!

And for the curious, I have no new news on the job front.
