Special Surprise

Well, it's Friday.  For some the weekend begins.  Not for me.  Of course, I only have to work 3 day before I get off 4.  Of course, after that my schedule sucks.  Black Friday is only 3 weeks away.  Give me a break.  That week I work 40 hours.  I will get paid for 48, which is nice, but let's be honest, I think I'd rather have the day off.
Today I also get to sell the flooring to that "special" racist customer who talks about those "terrible migrants."  I will have to bite my tongue... literally.  I've decided I'm not going to tell her the installers are going to be black and Latino.  Doing so would open up the 'ugly box.'  I'm just going to let this be her 'Special Surprise.'
The new sound bar arrived yesterday.  What a difference.  I had no idea the old one was producing such inferior sound.  Because the new one is a Sony, I can connect it to the TV with an HDMI cable.  Now one remote can turn both the TV and the sound bar on at the same time.  Believe me, that a really nice surprise.
Another 'Special Surprise' is going to be happening Tuesday.  Since I don't read crazy conservative lies, I can only go by what Bloomberg, and the WSJ, and the NYT, and Reuters, and The Hill, and the Huffpost are saying.  It seems as though the White House is in Chaos mode.  You see the Idiot Jerk and his spawn don't like investigations in which they are the subject.  In fact, a lot of the people he has surrounded himself with are now entering that "oh, shit" stage of their phony political careers.  Many of the appear to be looking for the nearest exit ramp, including Steve Mnuchin.  He, of course, is quietly saying it's his bimbo wife who wants him out.  That's it, blame the the wife.  She is evidently getting a lot less respect than your normal trophy wife, and hates it.  She thought she would float into Washington with her bottled blonde hair and people would fawn.  My, didn't she get a 'Special Surprise.'
Then there's Ryan Zinke, you know stinky Zinke?  His scumbaggery is so bad, even the Republicans are giving the Justice Department control.  He never figured on possible jail time.  Now won't that be a 'Special Surprise' for him?
Every single cabinet position has the possibility of being vacated... rapidly.  Conservatives like to run things... as long as they don't have to worry about transparency, and ethics, and morals, and just simple decency.  For every one of them, those attributes are an ugly 'special surprise.'
And all those special interest groups, like the White Evangelicals and the NRA?  They had better be preparing themselves for the wrath of the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  The blame for losing the House will be on their heads.  He will damn them from here to hell and back for getting out their voters.  Just thinking about that makes me smile.  How's that for a 'Special Surprise?'

Charging Zinke

So, it's Saturday and I get to work... of course I'm going to have 3 days off in a row starting tomorrow which is a good thing.
Monday I'm going to go down to York - my friend Betsy needs to buy a new car, and I'm going to try and keep her from making a mistake, that being choosing one which is too old just because it's cheap.  She did that 12 years ago and has been paying for it in repairs ever since.  When you ask her how much she's spent she'll tell you thousands and thousands of dollars.  If you ask her why she bought that old, cheap car she'll tell you "because I couldn't afford car payments."  Right.
Evidently their are sealed charges charges in the Russian collusion probe being directed by Mueller.  I'll bet that's making the Idiot Jerk's head spin.  Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't start paying someone else's legal bills.
Oh, and I found this interesting.  A teeny, weeny power company from Ryan Zinke's teeny weeny home town got a really big contract to help Puerto Rico rebuild their electrical infrastructure.  Funny, eh?  So funny both parties are calling for an investigation.  Even funnier is that this 2 year old company only had 2 employees prior to getting that really, really big contract.  I'm surprised we didn't get a Tweet from the Idiot Jerk praising Zinke for "finally putting some of those bad hombres to work."  Wouldn't we all get a charge to see little Zinke's head rolling because of his greed?

Oh, and just remember, the American Taxpayers are going to be footing the majority of this bill.
Yesterday at work, I was walking backward helping a fellow associate carry a roll of vinyl when I tripped and fell backwards, landing on my butt.  Even though I felt fine, I reported it anyway, which is what we're supposed to do, you know, they're always worried about liabilities.  As I was telling some friends about it later, noting that I hadn't hurt myself, one of them piped in "of course you did, you have a crack in your ass..."
