Realistically

Looks like those Easter Sunday services are going to be a bit cool and drizzly.  This is fine.  For a majority of people in the world, this day has no significance. For me?  Well, since it's Sunday I have to work.  Otherwise this is just one more day of the week.  In a sad way, Holy days may be important for some people in that they are a holiday off work.  Holidays are nice.

I did work yesterday and one of my blind orders was sold, which means I made my sales goal for the week.  Unless I get a measure today, I'll miss that goal, as well as the lead, and credit card goal.  This is how it goes sometimes.  I did discover that someone inadvertently let my supervisor know she was being transferred before the store manager had a chance to talk to her.  I understand she was more than a little unhappy.  This move is a step back for her.  There's nothing wrong with ambition, but it needs to be anchored to what's realistically possible.  

The neighbors got loud again last night, so I got louder, for about an hour.  They too need to anchor themselves into reality.  One of the first things she said to me after they moved in was "we're loud."  I don't doubt they did truly believe they could be as loud as they wanted.  My hearing is not as good as it used to be, so normally I will wear a headset when playing a video game or watching TV.  When their TV is so loud I can hear it with my headphones on, they are too loud. 

And I do get to work today.  What joy.

Were this only true.

Rumors were abounding yesterday that the Orange Anus had been taken to the Walter Reed Hospital.  Sadly, they were just that, though oddly enough, he didn't fly down to Mar a Lago this weekend to go golfing again.  Realistically speaking, anticipation got the better of so many Americans.  

So what is Orangie doing this weekend?  Looking at his dismal approval ratings?  Let's be real here.  The odds of his team letting him know just how many Americans hate him are few and far between.  Remember the happy reels?  If they want to keep their jobs, they're going to all be doing their best to keep him happy, and to do that they're going to need to do something more than stop by MacDonald's for a Happy Meal.

In spite of what some main stream media outlets are implying, his war with Iran is not going well.  They were complaining at work yesterday about the price of gas.  By now, most people understand that price will continue to go up.  How high?  For most Americans it will be a deal breaker, the big question is how will billionaires handle a revolt.

Trump, the Human Stain

 We were supposed to have our super warm temps yesterday, on my day off.  Well, that never happened.  We're getting them today, on a day that I'm scheduled to work.  This afternoon's high is projected to be in the low 80s (F).  Rain is also in the forecast for this evening, even possible thundershowers.  After that, temps will drop.  Boy will they drop.  We will be getting frost warnings for at least one day next week.  This happens every year and is supposed to be expected.

Yesterday was another good day. The big tank is nearly drained.  I moved the live plants from that aquarium into the one in the living room, and threw out the fake plants.  I've had an aquarium in that spot on and off for a number of years, so I'm thinking this might be the final location.

I got a ride in yesterday afternoon.  That was fine.  

My first editor sent me an email.  He say's he's enjoying the entertainment value of The Body in 4:4 Time.  This is a good thing.  The last thing you want to do is spend 10 months writing a book, only to be told it's boring.

This afternoon I will be heading into the store.  With this afternoon's expected warm temps, our garden department will be busy.  No one's going to be expecting the frost warnings that will be coming this week. 

And there was a problem with one of my sales.  One of my customers ordered 5 inch wide hardwood planks, however, the sku entered was for thinner planks.  So there will have to be a credit and a reorder.  Why didn't I pick up on the fact that the wrong sku was ordered?  I don't know.  Honestly, I'm thinking that when the order was set up, he was fine with that width plank.  Either way, it will get fixed and he'll have his installation.

Here's an updated picture of the tank.

And evidently both Kegsbreath and Orangie lied when they told America we had air superiority over Iran.  Two jets were shot down, and 2 Apache helicopters were damaged, their crews injured yesterday.  Ouch.  One of the pilots was recovered, the other was not.  Is he still alive?  If he is, the horror of his situation is beyond belief.  Things are only going to get worse.

There are rumors that moving Pam Bondi is just the first change coming to Orangie's administration.  The American people are very unhappy.  Gas is now over $4 a gallon.  Jeff Van Drew, the Republican Congressman from New Jersey, District 2, told his constituents that if they thought things are too expensive they should get a 2nd job.  That's not going over well.  The Republican's biggest problem, however, is that they believed American's would  cave and give the GOP what they've been praying for, unlimited power.  Because of this delusion, Congress and the Senate allowed our idiot president to surround himself with sycophants.  While he's desperately trying to be an authoritarian, there is, in reality, no one in charge.  Kegsbreath is firing our top military leaders because they disagree with him and all Orangie wants to do is talk about his ballroom.  Will Orangie shitcan Kegsbreath?  That would be nice.  It would also be a sign of desperation and another example of how much of a human stain our failed president is; keep in mind, he doesn't believe he ever makes a mistake.
