Okay, so Wednesday has arrived. I get to go back to work tomorrow. I'm not excited. This is how it goes. When I sit down at the flooring desk, I know there is work I will need to catch up on... sales calls that will need to be made. Making calls is not one of the highlights of the day. Most of the time they go into voicemail. The message I leave is always the same, and quite often it elicits the same response. Very few people return calls. Too many people initiate the process without understand the cost involved. Carpet estimates are always close, but laminate? Or hardwood? Or vinyl? Sometimes those estimates aren't even in the ballpark because those products require smooth and fairly level floors. Like people, as homes age things begin to sag.
I want to mow my lawn later this morning. For the first time in years we seem to be getting April showers... and everything is green and growing. My tulips are beginning to bloom. Nice. Now if only I could get a hold of some veggies to plant.
Peonies are in the background
I was talking to my friend Betsy last evening, telling her how, with so many getting vaccinated, the virus was going to begin cycling among the unvaccinated masses, you know, the Republican / Evangelicals. And I reminded of Darwin's theory regarding the survival of the fittest, however in this case fit does not mean surviving Covid over and over again, but rather those smart enough to be vaccinated. She had to laugh when I told her we were actually living through evolution.
Of course, more and more corporations are joining the complaints against Republican sponsored voting limitations. It's in their best interest to keep their customers happy. An unhappy customer will take his business elsewhere (I'm in retail, remember). Republicans have never understood Customer Service. Their egos get in the way. Yep. They are all too much like Loser #45. As a result, they're going to partisan themselves out of politics, where the survival of the fittest award does not go to 'no' saying diehards.
I hope the unvaxxed covidiots die!
ReplyDeleteIt may take sometime, but I'm sure that's happening.
DeleteBeautiful tulips!
ReplyDeleteThanks, more pictures coming.
DeleteThey wanna take their chances, go ahead. Listen to IT and not doctors.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the 2nd or 3rd time they get infected they might learn something.
DeleteIt's odd that people don't return your calls. I never answer my house phone unless I know who it is or unless the person starts to leave a message (I get too many telemarketers) but I always call someone back if they've left a message - well other than the Jehovah's Witnesses!
ReplyDeleteI got an invitation in the mail for an online Jehovah Witness Easter Service and can you believe it? Jesus was white with light brown hair.
DeleteI was quite busy Monday morning, doing yard detail after that huge Sunday night storm ripped threw. I just planted a slew of grass seed for my mother so the rain saves on watering.
ReplyDeleteMy mother has some of the same tulips. they and her daffs are still blooming.
We got a lot of rain, but no wind with that storm.
DeleteLove the tulips! I am waiting for all my plants to come up. They're taking the their time. Even the Hostas.
ReplyDeleteMy one friend is redoing his kitchen with the big orange retailer and it's a CHORE! Contractors come and go and now there's a shortage of wood. Apparently.
I can't wait until all three hundred attendees to a service in some megachurch get sick with covid. Can't wait.
XOXO
There's a shortage of wood... ... what are you waiting for?
