forgot one thing

So, I wanted to say something with vindication in my voice. Last week, I really needed some mints. So, before class, I went to the vending machine and put in 60 cents, punched in the numbers, etc. The mints never came out, and my friend said something like it was not stocked correctly, so you have to watch for them and if it looks like its not stocked properly, don't put your money in because it won't come out. I asked my teacher who I should go to to get my money back, and she said some office on college ave, which is more effort than 60 cents is worth. She also said she wasn't going to stop me from giving it a good hard kick on the way out, which I seriously contemplated.

Then today, I was in the same building, in front of the same machine, so you'd think I would learn not to bother with those things. But I was looking at a key lime, white chocolate almond joy that looked sooo good. And it was close to the front, and looked like it was stocked properly (for all I know about these things) so I got out my 75 cents. And guess what happened? The stupid machine gave me TWO almond joys, which means I not only got my 60 cents back from the mints, but I essentially got 15 cents as well. So I decided I got my revenge on the machine-with-a-mind-of-its-own. And that's my triumphant story.

I'm sure you cared.
