Even after being on this earthly realm 52 years, I am not sure I would be able to or would want to post 100 different things about me. You folks really have better things to do.

I have another Customer service thingy. I was at a local department store a few weeks ago (See, what the plan is that I let this stuff simmer awhile, and if it still bugs me and I still remember about it, well there ya go ...) And I stood in the check out. The guy ahead of me had one black mechanics gloves with the fingers cut out. A guy in his mid 30's I am guessing with two small kids. The kids were being a pain and he was basically ignoring them. Any way, he walks away and his small children finally follow him away from the check stand. I said something about the gloves he was wearing to the check out girl. She gives me this blank stare. So I asked her if she saw the gloves he was wearing. She still is giving me this real odd look. Then she Finally says "I didn't see any gloves."

I looked at her incredulously and was thinking to myself, you have got to be kidding. She was still looking at me oddly then piped up, "Why would I know why he was wearing those Gloves? Maybe he had a fear of germs or something. I have no idea why he was wearing gloves." all with this strange bizarre attitude thrown in. I stood looking at her dumbfounded, as were the people behind me in line.

I said as I walked away. "I really didn't expect you to know why he was wearing the gloves. I was just making small talk."

I went back to the store yesterday and pointed her out to my wife. She had apparently dealt with her in the past and wasn't to pleased by her actions.

I came across one of my usual bloggers that I read is losing some of her hair. My world doesn't seem so quite insane anymore.

The world is just a tad bit insane today ...

I wake up and grab the local paper for my wife, who is still asleep. 36 pages. Total. Good thing there is a flyer from a local department store or the folded up paper in the plastic bag this morning would have been even thinner than what it was. I won't read the thing. Haven't in years. But my wife reads it daily, making sure to check the Obituaries first thing, daily, along with her morning coffee.

I just had to add the word flyer to the spell check provided by Mozilla Firefox, the browser of choice these last few months. Apparently Firefox wants to be spelled with a capitol F.

I have a hearing with the state in about a month or so. Was told that if things didn't go right, I could end up in Supreme court. Is this for a mass murder I committed? Nope. A serious default on my state taxes? Wrong. Maybe a heinous crime involving hookers and sending them over state lines? Not even close.

It has to do with a job I worked at. When all is said and done, I still am not sure I can name names. You probably can figure it out, but I shant be divulging much more right now. Have to wait and see what comes of my "Hearing". Lord, I cant wait. It definitely is the main reason for the insanity I am feeling today. Insane Indeed. Its akin to having a paper cut. Say two weeks after the paper cut has finally healed, some doctor wants to reexamine this cut. He rips it open, blood everywhere. He then pours salt and dirt and other crap into the now gaping wound, and while your at it, leave that wound wide open till we tell you to have it now stitched up for say, oh, a month or so. Have fun with that.

Yep, totally insane. But that is what I pay my state taxes for. God I am so lucky to live in California.

I have discovered that Infranview works best for me in getting my photo collection moved about on my computer. You select the photos you want to move, hit F7, select the new folder and wallah! Beats windows all to heck in this process. Not one duplicate made.

Found another very bad case of customer service. I shant name the company, only it has been a week since it happened and I have mellowed considerably since then. I had my hands full with items I had discovered at a great price in this store. I went to the front to locate someone to help me get a basket, for I knew they were out side the store, cause I had shopped there repeatedly and saw them that day when I came into the store.I found a brunette, a new girl, asked her about a basket. She walked to the front door, said to me, "They are out here" and turned around and left me hanging. Apparently, somehow with my arms full of merchandise, I was to walk out front and get my own basket. She wasn't carrying anything, she was about 8 feet from the damn baskets, but couldn't grab me one. I was so ticked off, I went back into the store proper, throwing items as I went back onto shelves and found my wife. She also had her hands full. We left the store with out buying a thing. I was livid when I left there, my wife wondering why we were leaving. Unbelievable!

I am really starting to enjoy the NASA channel, especially when they have something going on in space. The pictures are sometimes breathtaking.
