Victims

Today is going to be super duper humid.  Our morning temp of 70 (F) will climb into the upper 80s (F) and there will be a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.  Those last 3 words seem to be something we have been saying a lot here lately.  The next 3 days are predicted to be warmer. Yeah, we're going to be tapping into those 90 degree days again.  After that we will hopefully begin heading into cooler Autumn temps.

I worked yesterday, and there was a bit of an incident.  A couple came into the department looking for a specific color of carpet.  As she said, "we slept in and their dog had torn up the carpet at the door trying to get out of the bedroom."  I told them there was no way they were going to find the color they needed, we have a limited color selection, and since carpet was in an apartment, there was no way to know where it had been purchased.  I suggested covering the spot with an area rug.  The husband told me his wife was the one who wanted to replace the carpet.  She didn't listen, chose a color, we cut her a section.  Four hours later she brought the carpet back because it was the wrong color.   Our Service Desk returned it.  We don't do returns on cut carpet because they're an instant loss.  When I told her this, she got angry and said I was being disrespectful to her in front of her kids.  Sadly, I got the impression she'd played this game before, playing the victim.  We cut her another section of carpet, which was still going to be the wrong color, and she went to the Service Desk where I'm sure they gave it to her for free.  After she'd left, the other flooring specialist looked at me and said, "you weren't being disrespectful."  I do get tired of this.

Oh, and I get to work again this afternoon.

I found this funny.  Evidently the members of Orangie's cabinet are very upset.

With the midterms approaching, these people are out in states the Republicans need to win speaking about Orangie's plan for America... and they're getting feedback.  Well, they're actually getting more than feedback.  They're being asked questons they don't like.  Brook Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture was asked where the imported beef was coming from and her response was, ""I'm not privy to that information."  Rubio has walked away from questions, rather deal with America's angry curiosity.  You see, these people see themselves as victims.  They believe their positions lift them above accountability.  Rather than be responsible to America, they're responsibility is to one man, the Orange Anus.  The chaos in this administration is getting worse.  Unfortunately for them, this is what they signed on for.

   

It's Still Lake Ontario

 Were at 62 (F) outside.  We're beginning a mini-heat wave today with out high temp predicted to be in the mid to upper 80s (F).  We'll be at our hottest on Tuesday, when the afternoon high is supposed to be in the mid to upper 90s (F).  Tuesday is the first of September and we still have 3 weeks of summer left, so I suppose this should be considered normal.

I did my morning workout yesterday, now a mix of strength and mobility.  My account with Trainwell is supposed to renew on Tuesday (when our afternoon high is.... well, high).  I've been thinking of pausing it, though the more thought I put into it, the more I'm thinking I'm just going to cancel the subscription.  When you pause, you're setting yourself up for an automatic rebill, and I don't want that.  Three month from now I may be doing some completely totally different exercise routine.

Work yesterday was tolerable.  Except for the aisle maintenance associate, I was the only one in the department.  I did talk to some people, but mostly I was bored.  Boredom means I get in steps, lots of steps.  Today the department is fully staffed, and no one is going to no what to do with themselves, so I'll get in more steps.

I spent some time shutting down notifications in Facebook this morning.  I scan down Facebook every morning for about 5 minutes and that's about it.  I'm just not that nosy.  Yet more and more I'm getting notifications like: your friend commented on a picture someone else posted, and, your friend liked an event that someone else posted about.  While I like the people I'm friends with on Facebook, I'm not that personally invested in their lives to know every single thing they like, or comment on.  Sadly, there are people who live for that sort of crap.

And Google maps has changed Lake Ontario to Lake America.  This image is not from Google maps.

In fact, if you go to Google maps and do a search for Lake Ontario it will take you to Lake America.  Yes, those people in charge at Google maps have stooped so very low.  Imagine the stupidity of someone who believes that a simple stroke with a Sharpie is enough to change the cartography of the world.  There are so many reason why people hate the loser in the White House, but a big one is the way people who should know better bend their knee to the Orange Anus.  I see things like this and wonder if Google did this because they believe he's going to give them another tax break?  You would think they would understand that if the midterms roll the way many think they will, things are going to be terrible for this administration.  And people will remember the stupidity of Google.  And they will become the joke they deserve to be.
