Rude work folk

Don't you hate rude coworkers. I am in a position where folks only really talk to me when they need something. Generally speaking, if you need something of someone else, you tend to ask considerately, politely, and usually unsarcastically. Except for those that think they are owed support. Granted it is my job to provide my support but I am not at your service. So if you need something, show me the same consideration you would show anyone else or you best believe you will not receive the service you expect.....

Stupid Hip Hop Lines #2

Artist: Jadakiss

Song: Why (not sure if that's the name, but he asks why alot so I'm going with it)

Lyric: Why they make the new 20's, cuz I got all the old ones...that's why!

Stupidity: Really Jada, you went out and bought all the 20 inch rims that were available? Come on dog, you sound stupid saying that. Here's why, earlier in your song you say something about you're selling the least. So if your album ain't sellin', how are you buying all the 20's. Not to mention you would need a lot of cars for all those rims. It disturbs that your machismo came in and messed what was a decent song with social commentary, kind of devalued the rest of the song.....

Some more guidelines

Rules to proper drive thru etiquette:

1) If your window doesn't go down, don't use the drive thru. The car window and the drive thru work hand in hand. One works very well with the other. Opening doors in the drive thru is inefficient and quite frankly threatening (depending on your neighborhood, car type, style of dress, current song on radio, etc).

2) If you're buying more than just food, things like calendars, toys, promotional items, don't use the drive thru. Think of the drive thru as a prostitute at a seaport, get in and get out. No lingering, sampling the wares. Get food, get going.

3) If you're not sure what you want, don't use drive thru. Go inside, peruse the menu, see what fancies your delight. But don't make me sit behind you as you stare at fast food menu that has changed minimally in the last 15 years.

4) If you're buying for the office, don't use drive thru. It just isn't fair to the people who are using the drive thru for it's intended purpose which is quick orders--get in and get out. You office lunch purchasing departments are being lazy. 'I don't want to carry all that food'. Is your office coming down to your car to eat? No? Then the food will need to get to the eaters now won't it?

5) Exact change is great unless you are already at the cashier's window. At that point, just give them the dollars and get your change. The time wasted as you search for that which should have been in your hand already is longer than the time it would take for your fast food service professional to provide you with change.

Balled Tonite

Played ball tonite and actually surprised myself a bit. I was jumping with the spring of a 27 year old xpinionated. Hustling, getting to the ball, hell if I could have made my layups I would have had a great day. But it felt good. Felt real good.......

The truth about Bread

Taken from www.eskimo.com
--
Research on bread indicates that:

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.
2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.
3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations."

5 rules to using Wal-Mart Self Checkout

During my drive home yesterday, I needed to stop and pick up a couple of birthday cards for my Nephew and my Pops. I'm thinking run into Wal-Mart (bad idea during the holiday season) grab some cards and be on my way. Running into Wal-Mart wasn't the problem, grabbing the cards went pretty well, being on my way sucked. I go to self checkout because I just have two cards and didn't really crave the human interaction, plus the machine says 'Welcome to Wal-mart' with so much more sincerity. So my waltz through Wal-Mart's self checkout produced the rules below....and they apply to any self checkout actually...

Rule 5 - If you don't know how to use self-checkout, don't choose to start during the holiday season, at rush hour!

Rule 4 - If you have fruits or vegetables, just go to a human who knows how to quickly take care of that sort of thing....in fact alcohol requiring id checks is on the fringe for violating self-checkout consideration bylaws.

Rule 3 - Form a single line and let the next person go to the next available self checkout machine. Don't stand behind a machine even though you see other people waiting...shady ass!

Rule 2 - If you have more than 10 items, go to a regular line. You're gonna run out of bags and places to put stuff.....

Rule 1 - If you are paying by check....I shouldn't have to explain this one .. . . . please go to the regular line. The fact that you still use checks is a whole other post but don't make us relive the early 90's with you....

Quite Possibly

Quite possibly, the most least effective forms of human communications is trying to talk to a baby over the phone. If the baby can't speak to you in person, what reaction do you expect to get over the phone? It goes:
GLowing Grandma: Hi, hey, , hey
Baby:
Glowing Grandma: what're you doing, hey, (then a little louder, cuz volume will teach the baby to talk), HIIIIIEEEE, HEEEEEYYYEEEEE
Baby:
Mother: Guess he doesn't feel like talking now.....

Yes, useless communication......
