Yay! Dyke March tonight!
Jen and I got back from opening new bank accounts this afternoon. Most of our money is currently tied up in Ohio at our bank there, so we have to work that out, but we wanted to open the accounts ASAP so that we would have time to get checks and ATM cards and all of that. So we go to the branch and show the woman our temporary licenses, explain that we have no jobs and out-of-state cell phone numbers, and she starts to look at us rather dubiously. And then she's entering our information into the computer and her eyes get wide. She asks me, "Did you ever live at [parent's address]?" And I say, "Yes, I grew up there." And then I remember that this bank is where my grandfather has a CD in my name, and it's a good amount, and all I could do was laugh. She was quite surprised, and her big eyes were priceless.
On the down side, we originally went to one branch of the bank and waited for a million years, and then finally went up to a woman who knew nothing about opening accounts or about the different accounts this bank has, or anything. And I got so frustrated with her and was SO convinced that she was going to screw it up, so we eventually had to ask her to give us our paperwork back and cancel the whole thing. Which led to us going to branch #2. Which meant that I didn't get to walk along Wollaston Beach with The Girl, like I'd planned for a relaxing Friday afternoon beach date.

I had a phone interview today for a job I want. I have an in-person interview on Monday for a job I don't really want. I have a phone interview on Tuesday for another job I want. I have an in-person interview on Thursday for a job I don't really want. See a pattern here? :)
