Feb. 24th, 2011 01:12 amLeaving for Vegas in less than a week - my unenthusiasm, let me show you it. Considering last time my purse was stolen, and I got to learn many things including:
- how to bully security guards into letting you file a report, even then they think you're a dumb blonde who just misplaced the purse.
- how to shut down all one's sources of obtaining money while in an unfamiliar town
- how to file a report at a police station (oh yay)
- how to get the gate attendants at the airport to let you check bags hours early (which, btw, is in general a bad idea - they put it on the first flight going to where you are heading, not necessarily on your flight. Which means by the time I got home, my bag was in lost and found. >.<
- how to get TSA to let you fly despite no ID whatsoever. (Answer: ID yourself as a vet, look pathetic, have something with your name on it, and be able to praise the TSA's beagle stories)
SO.
Things I need to figure out: I figure ID, a credit card, and some money is enough to get me by, but... how much? Do I squirrel it away in the baggage, keep it all in one place, split it up like a woodpecker with acorns? *flailage*
In other news, the checkout guy at REI hit on me. At least, I think that is what he was doing? After he handed me the bag he suddenly leaned forward and staaaared at me like I'd just suddenly grown a second head, then said, in a shocked voice: "I can smell your hair."
...
Why thank you, creepy REI man! Um. I'm... going now? And I really wish I'd made that purchase in cash and didn't have a membership to your store. Because that was way with the creepy.
