I now have proof that the oh-so-charming young man referenced in the original food stamps blues post went out of his way to humiliate and embarrass me in front of other customers for whatever sick reason his tiny little mind could make up. I went shopping today knowing that I only had around $19.30 left… Continue reading Food Stamps Blues Redux
Going above and beyond
I’ve been known to trash the occasional food service worker or fast food chain right here on this very blog. But a few days ago I had an experience at my local Del Taco that really was going above and beyond in terms of excellent service. I had gone through the drive through lane to… Continue reading Going above and beyond
IDIOTS AND SPAMMERS NEED NOT COMMENT!!
Not that anybody is reading or paying a bit of attention to my comments about comments. That much is clear from the comments I keep getting even after the earlier post about relevancy, 90% of the comments I get are either totally irrelevant bull fecal material like this one (I keep listening to the news… Continue reading IDIOTS AND SPAMMERS NEED NOT COMMENT!!
Comments
Here’s a word to the not-so-wise, the totally clueless, and the spammers. Ya’ll KNOW who you are!! If your comment is totally irrelevant (ie has nothing to do with my post(s) or is just gibberish), it won’t be approved and depending on the content, it might be placed in either trash or spam. If its… Continue reading Comments
Starting A Blog
I just received (and approved) a comment on one of my earlier posts. The poster was wondering if I designed this blog myself. Oh don’t I wish I had those kinds of skills! LOL. Nope, a friend uploaded the WordPress software to my domain and installed it for me. I did pick the design/template/theme from… Continue reading Starting A Blog
Dish Network, the Cop, and MOI
So I haven’t watched TV in a week or two, real life has been getting in the way. I decided one night last week that I wanted to watch HGTV so I grab the remote in the bedroom, push SAT and then push TV —- all I get is ‘please wait’ and scrolling messages across… Continue reading Dish Network, the Cop, and MOI
What Exactly Was the Point of EVEN Putting an Email Address in the Ad?
Yesterday evening (February 24, 2010) I sent a resume via email to a local company. Today I got a response which left me totally shaking my head over more than just one issue with this company. “Thank you for your interest in the Inbound Computer/Phone Tech Support position. Please come to the center at 501… Continue reading What Exactly Was the Point of EVEN Putting an Email Address in the Ad?
Being unemployed …….. or a 500 mile commute????
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100222/ap_on_re_us/us_the1000_mile_commute What I found saddest about this was the comment by the wife about ‘no sympathy’ “They say at least he’s working.” Well I’m not working. I haven’t had a steady job since October 2005, when I was fired by a boss who had disliked me from the minute SHE was hired (two weeks after… Continue reading Being unemployed …….. or a 500 mile commute????
My Mother Would Be So PROUD!!
A little background: I’m a slob. And I tend not to care what clothes look like as long as they are clean, however that’s actually an improvement over the way I used to be. In college my mother would be appalled because I’d wear dirty jeans, dirty blouses, etc even when out in public. Back… Continue reading My Mother Would Be So PROUD!!
Burger King Strikes Again, or MORE Fun With Fast Food
Now, the first thing I learned in my brief experiences working in fast food (McDonalds, Taco Time) is that you do NOT argue with the customer. You would think that would be taught to the employees their very first day on the job or as part of their training BEFORE throwing them on the line……but… Continue reading Burger King Strikes Again, or MORE Fun With Fast Food
