covid recovery surcharge

 i went to get a beer at the performance venue tonight and found out there was a covid recovery surcharge  due to paying with a card. it is 5 percent. i got a grain belt, although i was told the miller lite i was getting before the pandemic was still on special. so maybe i get the miller lite on my next visit. at one point at the bar i spoke with somebody about the consumer price index when the man commented about rising prices. when i left the showroom to get a look at my material i was approached by somebody who claimed to remember me, although at first he struggled to recall my name. go figure. the most reaction i got from my set would have to be mention of the search for cereal. at work i got payroll statements early enough in the day where i was able to send them out same-day, it was mid-morning. just before then i was down the hall and heard the doorbell ring, i was doing a partial sort of the mail. i found out it was somebody from facilities who needed to check the fire extinguisher. so i went back inside the check shop for a few minutes to work on something else. thankfully i was able to get back to the mail sorting fairly quickly. i was still fielding questions about a check i was unable to send out on friday. i had to let them know that the image in my system was blank, and when i notified the responsible officials there was no solution given. i also copied my boss on the response as evidence of  'due diligence'. in the evening i went on a walk and found 23 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when leonard manipulated penny for sex after she reads his mom's book for her class. it was followed by the one where amy goes to princeton for the summer.
