Frustrating

It’s after 9:00pm. I am toast. I’m sitting up in bed typing this on my laptop. When I am done I am going to watch a little TV (I’m doing a The Mandalorian rewatch right now and I am up to the episodes from The Book of Boba Fett, aka The Mandalorian season 2.5) and have a snack and then turn in for the night,

Today was a super frustrating day. Tomorrow is going to be a super frustrating day as well. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday look about the same. Tuesday does too, but there is a tiny little light on the horizon Tuesday. We’ll see.

Hang in there, folks. You can go through a frustrating stretch of time, but statistically speaking it should even out. Like the drummer in Spinal Tap said, “the law of averages says you will survive.”

Visitors

I’m working from home today and I was on a conference call when my doorbell rang. Welp, sorry visitors, I can’t come to the door right now. After the call ended I went to the door on the off chance someone was waiting there and I found this little nugget….

Aww, our JW neighbors* stopped by to say hi and maybe save my soul. Isn’t that nice of them (no!!!)? I wish I could have come to the door (get off my lawn, leave me alone!!!).

So I’m just going to drop this little guy into the ol’ circular file. Before I do, does anyone want it? Anyone? Woops, I’ve already chucked it (and crumbled it up and lit it on fire). Sorry, god bless.

*there is a big JW church (is that the right word?) in Methuen over on Jackson Street. When we were house hunting back in 2010 we seriously considered a great big house right across the street.

Clock

My wife and I bought a car last year.  I just saw that I had a voicemail.  I listened to it.  It was the service department at the dealership calling to remind me that daylight savings time starts on Sunday.  They offered to help change the clock in the car, if by chance we need help.

I might be nitpicking here, but I think that’s taking things across the line that separates quality customer service with annoying the shit out of everyone.

That might just be me though.
