the week in review

i've had a bad week, by all accounts. So this morn when i was walking out of rite-aid after picking up my perscription for some bacterial infection I have, I saw the scratch off california lottery tickets and thought "well if there was a time i'd win, it would be this week!" so i bought 2 tickets and got to my office and furiously started scratching. Well, i don't know if you have bought a scratch off ticket recently, but they're really hard to follow, not the instructions, but figuring out whether or not you won! I have a bachelors degree and consider myself pretty intelligent, I mean hey I can master crossword puzzles and sudoku, but i couldn't for the life of me figure out what the fuck the game was all about! I had to enlist the help of one of the writers assistants who reviewed the bingo game card and reassured me, no I had not in fact won $20! the bad week continues!
