alternate card at pump

i had to use an alternate card when paying at the pump this morning as it was rejecting my credit card, so i used the debit. this card has been re-issued various times, something about anti-fraud measures. guess i need to activate the one they sent me recently.
   at work i scored 254 tests, so slightly more than the previous day. we were dismissed 5 minutes early, likely due to the holiday weekend. i got annoyed finding out somebody opened the door on the microwave oven i was using, then failed to reset the time. i said 'common courtesy went out of style years ago'. felt the same way about wiping up a spill on the floor. i was taught to clean up your own spills. but then i also was a dishwasher and janitor for a while.
   this evening i made it to another karaoke bar. at this venue i did 2 songs, sometimes i arrive late and do only one. i did 'jump around' by house of pain, and 'sos' by rihanna. the first one was inspired by seeing a regular on my way in, and he made a comment about my outfit. so i eventually recited a lyric from it, 'word to your moms, i came to drop bombs'. i also noticed a small TV monitor on the darts machine.
