i am a jetson

do you remember when the self check out at the library blew your mind?
WELL...in londonium...they have this for GROCERIES....canadians....i have seen the future - i feel like a jetson or something all of a sudden....not to mention living out my childhood dream of being a grocery clerk - i always loved shopping and bar codes and food and money and bagging things and the scanner followed by the price popping up on the screen!! also i found yalumba viogner! yay! yum! however since my credit card doesn't have a secretspecialmagical chip the computer voice told me to seek assistance and all of a sudden a lady swooped in to check my signature...which if you have seen my signature you will know that she had to ask for ID cause my signature is crazy and never the same twice....i know i know...that's sort of the point of a signature...i digress...my point was that i was intrigued and baffled in a most delighted way until the lady swooped in cause she had a beard which then made me sad. all in all a bittersweet experience in the tesco this evening.
