Hello Pin, Goodbye Hase

You're sick of reading about Deutsche Bank and I'm sick of writing about it so let's wrap this one up...

The card situation was out of hand. There is one branch open until 8 on Thursdays and it's not so far from school so I left class early to stop in tonight. I told my story to the lady at the front desk and spread the five cards out on the table. I was told my pin was mailed yesterday (heard that one before) but a teller and could give me some cash. I took out as much as they would let me because who knows how long it will have to last. As she brandished dozens of 20's and 50's for all to see and plot their muggings, I realized no form of ID had been requested. I thought about making a comment but since I didn't have an ID either this was an opportune oversight. I couldn't fit it all in my wallet so I had to cram bills in the various pockets of my bag like the classy lady I am. 

My pin was in the mailbox when I got home from the bank. Obviously.

The chocolate bunny, represented the headaches of the past weeks. In addition to the card misery, it was Frank's latest excuse for stopping in my apartment uninvited. When I confronted him (via email) he explained that the store next door was holding it for a whole week so he had to put it inside. There are so many things wrong with that excuse and I don't want to hear one anyway. I didn't want to be ambiguous about my wishes so I sent another stern but fair email and moved on. The bunny needed to feel some pain too. We scheduled an execution and prepared the guillotine. With a deft slash of the office cake knife, the bunny was no more. 
 This has been another extremely busy week. I would say I was working extra to prepare for Jessica's visit tomorrow but there aren't any extra hours available in the day so I'm just working "normal". Jessica's visit is going to be so awesome. We could have fun in a refrigerator box. Plus she has German living experience so we can share stories of some of the wacky stuff that goes on. Melissa is going to be in New York for a week and a half so I will be missing her face but I have the best distraction to keep me occupied
