Crazy customers have finally done it - I can’t think straight. Had another one yesterday - she forgot her appointment. Not the first time she has done this. She had the appointment booked for a different day, although I booked and confirmed this appointment 2 weeks ago. In the past, she has complained that I made the mistake so I made sure I confirmed well ahead of time. This is part of the rather incoherent email message I received from her:
its 6.30 and I am now home I know we had an appt today , but I figured may be incorrectly that the computer was not behaving and so all was cancelled until it came home..
I just shook my head. What the hell? I’m going to run away. Any country out there want a nice little tech support person? Competent? Easy to get along with? Let me know… will relocate…
Anyway, I’m too dizzy from the silliness from the last 3 days to blog properly so I’m going to share some silly news from around the world with you.
It’s a mad, mad world out there folks and I’m going to hide under the bed for the rest of the day.
Supermarket staff refused to sell alcohol to a white-haired 72-year-old man - because he would not confirm he was over 21. The manager even got into a snit and took the bottles away when the granddad had the nerve to question this bit of insane adherence to the rules. Come on folks - one look at the man tells you he is of legal drinking age. bbc story
A Nebraska senator is suing God for causing harm to himself and his constituents - must be a slow day in the senate bathrooms.
“Mr Chambers claimed the move had a serious point – to point out how many frivolous lawsuits were clogging up the US legal system” - that’s right, clog up the system further with yet another idiot suit
idiot lawsuit
Shhh.. top secret - little league rules are so secret even a Pentagon Col. can’t see them. “I work in the E-ring of the Pentagon, but I don’t have clearance for the Little League rules.”
now that you know, we have to hurt you
“Drinkers of Moosehead beer in Ontario are being advised to stock up on their favourite brew after thieves made off with more than 100,000 cans and bottles….In August 2004, a truck containing 50,000 cans of Moosehead Lager bound for Mexico was stolen. Only 14,000 of the cans were ever found.”We can’t believe that of all the beer available in Canada that Moosehead would be targeted again,” Levesque said”
Well I can’t either - it’s a conspiracy! Yes, a conspiracy, I tell you, to drive the righteous beer drinking Canadians insane.
Stumble it!

That’s crazy about the grandpa and the alcohol, but it happens. I’m a bartender, and I can tell you that some places have a strict rule of carding everybody no matter their age. I interviewed for a job at a place recently which had a policy of immediately firing any employee who failed to card someone even one time, even if this person was 100 years old.
Stupid.
