Dear dipstick at the post office ...

[apocalypsos]

Perhaps you might not have sounded like an asshat about holding open the door for me if you'd given me a chance to say "thank you" before snapping, "YOU'RE WELCOME." Call me crazy, but maybe that was why everybody looked at you like you were deranged.

Oh, hey, did I mention that I won two free extra value meals from McDonald's the other day at the bowling alley for knowing that the northernmost point in the contiguous United States is in Minnesota? I came back and everybody I work with was still trying to figure out what "contiguous" means. Heh.

And if anybody's wondering how the voting for apocalyptothon fandoms is going, it looks a little something like this:

Supernatural (39 votes)
Firefly (28)
House (23)
Heroes (24)
Buffyverse (17)
Grey's Anatomy (14)
CSI (14)
Ugly Betty (13)
Veronica Mars (13)
Stargate: Atlantis (13)
The Colbert Report/The Daily Show (13 ... I love you people THIS MUCH. :))
Doctor Who (13)
Harry Potter (13)
Numb3rs (12)
Bones (12)
The Office US (11)
Friday Night Lights (11)
NCIS (10)
Psych (10)
Dexter (9)
Stargate SG-1 (9)
Gilmore Girls (9)
Pop/bandslash (9)
Dead Like Me (8)
The West Wing (8)
The Dresden Files (8)
The Black Donnellys (8)
Lost (8)
Torchwood (8)
Scrubs (7)
Highlander (7)
X-Files (7)

Those are the ones on top -- last year we had thirty-five fandoms and I may go to forty depending on the response. (So ... yeah, probably.) The CSIs, Law and Orders and Doctor Whos get lumped together, so when we finally get down to who can write what we'll worry. Worked out well that way last year. :)

Okay, the ones on the bubble:

Six votes

X-Men (all 'verses)
Smallville
DC 'verse
Arrested Development
Discworld
OZ
Pirates of the Caribbean
Queer As Folk US
Roswell

Five votes
Eureka
due South
Monk
Law and Order (all 'verses)
CW RPS
Wonderfalls
American Idol

Four votes

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Rome
Life on Mars
Criminal Minds
Entourage
Bleach
His Dark Materials
Joan of Arcadia
Sherlock Holmes
Naruto
Marvel 'verse
Good Omens

So, you know, if you really want something on the list and it's got six or less votes, make your friends vote or something. :)

What I love about that list is that buffyverse, which has been off the air, for what? 2 or 3 seaons now... still in the top 5. Be proud of THAT Joss Whedon! ::LOL:: I lurve all things apocalyptithon by the way.

This happened to me TWICE IN THE SAME DAY.

I went to the bank for work, and was on the phone with my dad. I reached out to open the door to leave, and this dude opened it from the outside to enter. I walked through, and before I could say anything, he said "You're welcome" in the snottiest tone ever.

Then, I went to the post office to pick up the mail, and on the way out, the same thing happened. With the same guy.
