Stupid Liquor Stores and other tales of woe
There is a liquor store between where I work and where I live. I have never been to the liquor store, but a few weeks ago, I noticed signs up in the windows: “Going out of business!” “Everything reduced 60%” “Free martini with purchase” (okay, I kinda made up that last one, but you get my point).

One last thing that pisses me off. I don’t get Monday off work. This is
