fast food...
Beware the drive-thru of Long John Silver's.... basically I ordered two number 16s (3 piece chicken meals), which come with fries, hushpuppies and slaw... So I waited a long time to actually get my order. The cashier who took my cash had trouble counting back change, and the employees seemed more interested in messing around than working. So I get the order, and I drive home. I should have opened the containers and checked then and there...but they did not put fries in either order...and it was on the ticket. I was mad; I called to complain. The first person I talk to offered to give me two orders of fries if I came back down or they could put my name on a list for two orders of fries. I was not going to drive down...let my food get cold, just for fries. So they put my name on the list. I am still mad, and I ask if I can talk to a manager. So I get to talk to "eric"... I told him the story, and he offers to put me on the list as well...and I told him the first gal I talked to already had put me down. And then he was like "what do you want then? what do you want me to do?"... I get 20% off my next order and two orders of fries... for a place I rarely eat at...seriously, it may be another five or six months before I eat there again, it is just not a place I eat at that often. What did I want?.... well, I wanted Management to know that the service was sub-par, I wanted them to know I expected their employees to process a simple task, I wanted them to know the current shift wasn't doing a good job and I didn't want the next guy in line to have the same experience... The Manager told me "they were busy"...as if that is an excuse for poor service....not to mention, that statement is coming from a Manager on duty?! I paid for two orders of fries...I should get two orders of fries. And the manager should assure me that he would take the information to go coach his employees, and assure me that their standard is that meals are properly served... I'm not sure if I am more upset with being shorted on my order, or their idea of management. |

Well....on 9/11, ten years ago... I was at work...watching tv, through a camera... We had an extra person, so we took turns going to the break room to listen to the broadcast... Our GM had the week before just been out there... |

Well...the one place extended an offer to an internal candidate...didn't even interview external candidates... In the meantime... I mowed the lawn... and still waiting for the flood to go away so we can get back to work. Writing my thank you note to the corp, for all the water... and car shopping... |

I honestly was going to mow tomorrow... I thought about starting this afternoon, but it was a bit hot. And now...is that thunder? crap. |

I have been working on picking up a little more Spanish, Portuguese and French...been meaning to work on German a bit... I actually came across a French document today...so I got to slowly read through it. What is up with "spelling" and the French. And I missed the big earthquake out east...mainly because I'm in the middle of the country... All we ever get is thunderstorms and tornados... |

Ugh... and a headache to boot. technically, I woke up with one this morning...but it went away, and now it back. |

So...I hurried with the mowing... my knee is still killing me, it has hurt for a couple days now...and the race is in a rain delay... |

hate being bored...no one tweetin' no one on the chats... no one on the facebook... I already read the papers online...the news was a little blah. I remember when the BBS used to have people/users policing it for inappropriate conduct...and they could come along and twit a person... but major corporations aren't interested in administering any of that...they just want their servers humming along...with as low overhead and minimal risk to exposure... so instead yahoo chat is over run with bots (fake people soliciting their websites) or twitter where you get a little bit of spam... of course...no one ever wants to do a thing right, they just want to do it cheap |

The internet seems to be full of jerks... I was just minding my business, and randomly insulted...thanks. So...nothing was on tv, I was so bored, I decided to clean the house...in other news, I have a head ache from the darn ammonia...ugh. |

Almost didn't post in July...um, the flood is still raging on. I'm shocked at the lack of coverage in the national news. |

Floods suck. Currently unemployed as a result. |

I am busy blaming the flood on the Corp of Engineers... The information provided in their April public meetings essentially said they were going to experience flooding and had a lot of water to deal with... so they didn't bother significantly releasing water until June... they blamed it on a heavy rain in May...yet, they didn't significantly increase releases to make more room for that incoming rainfall... and now, some places will be above flood stage into November or December... depending on the weather, you have to worry about ice dams that late in the year...which is the reason the water wasn't released earlier this year... and no spring pulse...which had a chance to get into a more appropriate level...but they continued to operate at levels near the exclusive flood levels... yes, it was going to flood....no, it shouldn't have been this bad... thanks Corp for screwing up this year the same way you screwed up the previous years...you're consistent, and that extra snow pack and extra rain really amplified the mismanagement... |

So that Rep. Weiner guy...yeah, what's wrong with a little sexting?! Just saying, I would venture to say that a majority of those in Congress have acted on a few of the naughtier vices... it isn't like I voted for Pope or anything. I vote for pervy folks to go to Congress... |

The birhday came and went... Quirky computer...haven't been on LJ in a long time. I have a list full of contacts...yet no one to chat with... My coworker has mowed four times this year...I've just mowed once. I'm on the every other month plan... |

Well...I haven't been visiting LJ lately, because for whatever reason...Norton didn't like LJ. What is up with that? Got a feel good moment from work...basically they had an opportunity for me....it was a promotion, but involved a move. I figured out what 'market rate' is on the job...and they offered my $10k lower than market rate, so I turned it down. Then they said "because it's you"...and offered me the low-end of market rate. I turned that down too. They were about $5000 away from my figure that I had to have to make the 'working in a different place' worth all the turmoil of living in two places (or moving to a new place). And I think it may have opened some doors for me had I taken it...but the long-term benefits were cloudy in that regard, and the short-term would leave me just a bit short on the cash... I find that I keep stopping by or checking on work on my days off...I'm addicted to work. |
