79 cent banana

I seriously just paid that for a banana. In my defense, I didn't know it would cost that much. I didn't even consider it might cost that much. It was a banana! Not only was it a banana, but it was a crappy banana. It kinda tasted like soap which is very disappointing after paying so much for it. I could buy a whole pound for that much, I think. I don't buy bananas all that often. I understand that the UI has to recover from the flooding. It's going to cost a lot more than they thought, but do they have to take it out on those who just want a decent banana?

And to continue with a little ranting, it's 21C (~70F) in here, which while an improvement over 19C, it is still not a comfortable workplace temperature.

I hate that!! It seems like bananas you buy anywhere but the grocery store are always really expensive and taste gross. This is why I usually end up with a 50 cent bag of crap instead of fruit when I have to buy lunch. :)

I just realized that you're moving out of the state. Duh. I'm sad! You'll have to keep blogging so we'll know what you're up to.

Ok, is it sad that I don't know how much a banana normally costs? I do hate how crappy they can taste sometime though. I know people are big on going to the fruit market, but honestly, our fruit market isn't that much better because everything is still crated and shipped.
