The Queen of the Geeks Strikes Back

I called Jason when I got home this morning, as planned last night when I inadvertently wound up at Christy's camp.

The plan, it turned out, was that I was going to meet Manda and Jason downtown and then we'd catch a bus over to Seven Rays. Dad said, "I'll give you a ride, since I have to go to the bank and the office anyway."

Now, that statement is supposed to mean, "You have to do money stuff at the bank, so remember to bring your ID, you freakin'-often-ID-forgetting-idiot."

Of course I forgot my driver's license. Dad just about hit the roof and was bitching about how we were going to have to drive all the way back to B'ville to get it. I was all, Dad, chill. Let me talk to them and see if they'll cash the check without any ID first, because after all, my other bank does it for me all the time. So he's like, we'll give it a shot, and I head into the bank with a check for $2000, hoping to get some cash out of it.

The guy who sits next to Robin (I forget his name now, gah) was all, "Hey, Heather! How's everything, etc. etc. Talk to this guy over here, he'll take care of you." So I explained the situation to Guy X. He looked for a signature card but apparently I haven't got one. Then I told him to check the wire transfer files, since I do those all the time and they should have my signature on it. He goes off to check, and I'm sitting there all ladedadeda, when all of a sudden the guy that I know pops his head in the door.

"Heather, sorry 'bout that! I didn't know what he was trying to do. I told him that it's all clear and you can cash whatever you want. And OMG, I saw your picture in the paper and it was so cool! Who were you- Princess Leia? Oh, Padme, sorry! Anyway, that was just awesome. Robin and I got all excited when we saw it."

Then he went away to go finish talking to another customer, and Guy X comes back and was very impressed that I was a Star Wars geek.

Dad can absolutely not believe that I pulled that off without any ID.
