Even told my boss that I just needed a day off, and she was fine with it (probably because I don't do it often). But yeah, it's pretty nice. Retirement will be so sweet someday. 5

That’s the weird thing, I think it was awfuler (yes, that is not a typo, just me making an apropos word ) where you are than where I am. I was just outside because I needed some sunshine. Have to say, it is glorious out there - well, except the puddles I couldn’t avoid, so my feet got wet. 4

'no gloves' Yes, it was I read somewhere - so long ago, I don’t remember where - that mittens keep your hands warmer because your fingers are all together rather than separated like they are with gloves, so that’s what I use to keep my hands warm. I end up taking my gloves off to do stuff anyway, so I don’t notice a difference. 4

Thanks for the smile and the giggles, tim. As for the no sleeping bit? That was me last night as well. I think it was 2:30 (after getting up to read trying to make myself sleepy) before, I finally nodded off. Here’s to tonight being better for both of us. You with Natural Calm and me with Lemon tea with honey - must not forget I have both in the cupboard... 4 1

You with Natural Calm and me with Lemon tea with honey - must not forget I have both in the cupboard... In contrast to you two, I've actually been managing to go to sleep earlier the last few nights. Been getting up in the mornings, too. By which I mean I've actually been asleep by 3 and gotten up before noon... But hey, improvement! EDIT: Sorry you had a crappy day, though, tim. Hope you get some sleep tonight and that tomorrow will be better. Edited March 12, 2019 by Thorn Wilde 5

They expect easy answers and instant gratification. you're stuck to deal with their laziness. At least you're not face to face with them. you can roll your eyes all you want. 5

They are coming here to go to University. It scares me however. Thank fully not all of them are like that. What bugs me especially today was one who after 45 minutes .. said can you prove what you're saying. I said no, it's a thing with our system about not allowing spaces between names. If you don;t believe me you're more than welcome to chat to someone else or call in. They are obnoxious all from the same country. Never hear from student from Vietnam or China or the Philippines.. only that place which i'd rather not mention. 3 2

Its like a half glove with a mitten top that can Velcro or button down. 5 1
MacGreg Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Anyone who has customers must deal with the stupid/looney/unhappy ones. It's the nature of the beast. I have demanding homeowners and idiot contractors that try my patience daily. 5
