The Three People That Actually Read This

My Life Today

Everyone else seems to be ranting.

Why not me.

We had a stupid meeting with upper management today at work. I hate these meetings because at the end they always make a big deal about asking if we have any questions when you KNOW they don’t want you to ask anything important because they don’t want any controversy, especially in front of large groups. So if you ask a question the room goes silent and you get a death stare. I spent the whole meeting silently reminding myself to keep my mouth shut at the end because quite frankly, I LOVE to ask questions and watch them squirm. Today I was good though and mercifully it ended quickly.

The only mishap was that I put a mini peppermint pattie in my pocket beforehand and forgot to take it out so it was melty and squishy and that kind of icks me out but I ate it anyway.

The next thing I want to talk about is the Internet. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ordering things on the internet. I have memorized the acct# and expiration date on my check card. Here are some of the things I have bought on line: shoes (of course), clothes, handbags, dishes, 2 quilts, cheesecake, DVD’s, CD’s, books, books-on-tape (actually a rental), and a King size solid oak Mission bed. (No lie). I can’t believe I have ordered all of these things to my doorstep mostly free of shipping charges. Right now I am waiting on two shirts from Eddie Bauer (I don’t know how to do the registered trademark thingy and don’t care to) and a pair of shoes from someplace in New York.

I can always find shoes that are sold out locally online. It is so happy to me. Before the internet (one day I will be able to tell my grandkids that I was alive before the internet like my grandfather always tells me he was alive before TV) I had to rely on assy salespeople who could have gave a crap if I got my shoes or not. They did not understand nor did they realize how important this was to the health of my soul. Their famous line was and is “all we have is out there”. Woe to you if you tell me that. I hate when you lazy little fuckers don’t check. You will see all 5 feet ½ inches of me go painfully bitchy. My husband finds an abyss to shrink into at this point because he is of a calm sort. But you see that is all behind me now. I can live a full and happy life—sometimes it just takes 5-7 business days.

The other thing about ordering online is that you don’t know when exactly the stuff will come so everyday you can check to see if you got a prize. (Hey- it’s the little things.) One (ok two)final thing because I would like to end on a bright note. I wore new shoes today (they were part of my fall line) and they didn't hurt at all. Snappy. And second we are having ribs and coan-on-the-cob (yes,I meant to write coan) for dinner so come on over and I'll throw a slab on for ya.
