Yesterday:

11:43 Powerful craving for fast food today. I think the sense of urgency from Christmas advertising is working on my appetite as well.
12:08 Gave in. Not proud, but since I only had to walk a block, these fries are still nice and toasty.
14:44 Never understood the "fast cash" ATM option. Saving one keystroke makes it fast, is that it?
22:09 My favorite part of today's Winter Storm Watch alert: "There Is A Greater Than Normal Degree Of Uncertainty With This Forecast."

I have the same thought about people who say "aight," and people who don't type in complete words.

What thought is that?

Is one or two keystrokes really that much more effort?

Yeah, I guess it's the same philosophy. Imagine how much LESS time these people would have in their day if they used complete sentences or didn't use fast cash!

Never understood that either. Seriously, it saves ONE more push of a button.

If the ATMs you hit up are anywhere near as dumb as the ones I get, it backfires because you almost always want an amount different from the fast cash options it allows.

The closest one to work presents a fast cash option, and when you select it, the only choices are $20, or $200. You're not presented with these choices until you select "fast cash." So if you want $40, you have to cancel out and start over, or do the whole process twice. SLOW CASH.

EXACTLY! I tried it once. Never again.
