The crazy old lady was inevitable.

I was working at the courtesy desk, and while someone was filling out a Western Union form I was giving some lottery tickets to an old woman. She kept wanting ticket after ticket after ticket, then she wanted me to check her old tickets, and this took about ten minutes and the Western Union person had been waiting for a while, and now someone else had come on line. Then the old woman asked for the results from yesterday, so I printed it out for her... at least, I thought I printed the results. I went to go help the Western Union lady, but then the old woman started yelling "THESE AREN'T THE RESULTS OMG FIX IT NOWWWW" and I said, "I'll take care of you in a minute, this woman's been waiting", and I did her Western Union thing, and I go back to the lottery machine (and a line of like, four people has formed at this point, because people only ever show up when there is a line already), and I asked the lady what game she wanted the results for, and she starts screaming at me, saying stuff like "I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR AN HOUR ALREADY THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG" (please, you waited five minutes tops) and... ugh. I finally printed it out after telling her to stop yelling at me because I just wanted to know what game she wanted the results for, and she finally left. Ugh ugh ugh.

Brownie Sundae with Chocolate Chips

I finally used the Essential Chocolate Chip Cookbook my mom bought for me a month ago to make the Hot Chocolate Chip Brownie Sundae Cake, and let me tell you, it was extremely messy making this thing but it was worth it.





The chips didn't sink in entirely like they were supposed to, but that was okay. And the recipe called for bittersweet chocolate chips, but imho that makes it entirely too bitter (I mean, you're using unsweetened baker's chocolate already), so next time I make these I think I'll only use semi-sweet chips. It was a lot of fun chopping the chocolate, though! I felt like a Real Baker. (even though I used a microwave to melt the chocolate when I'm supposed to use a double boiler, but I'm not made of money, dammit)
