nickel and diming

This morning, something occurred to me -- Most all tolls I pay involve quarters, nickels, and whole dollars; but no dimes: 55 cents, $2.70, $2.05, $1, 90 cents, etc ( Read more... )

$10 and 2 dimes? How the hell was that going to pay a $.90 fare?

My mindset that morning was as following:
collect - dollars, quarters, nickels
get rid of - dimes

The best way I could think of doing that was by using $10.20. It gets rid of 2 dimes, and gets back a quarter, a nickel, and a bunch of ones. If I gave just a dollar, I would have used a dollar and acquired a dime.

wakaru deshou? :)

Well, it wasn't sleepless as much as just lacking. I went about 5 hours of sleep each night and I had a short nap in the car ride the first day (we carpool, so I drive every other day).

Yay! Someone understands my weird ways!

Congratz on beating the boss ^_^ I still haven't beaten Xenogears ^^;;

Welcome to the club, my dear sir. ^^ I've never seen it in a store here, and I've only rented it, but I rent to infrequently, that everytime I rent Xenogears, I have to start from the beginning, because I'd forgotten what happened. ^^;

About the sleep thing, I've been doing the same thing, since Ane-chan got me hooked back on Xenosaga. Been sleeping at 2 and waking at 7, it's slowly starting to get to me. XD
