Names You May Not Use!

I stumbled upon this gem about naming kids. I literally spit out my Lucky Charms while reading New Zealand names rejected.

I'm don't think "Fish and Chips" was that bad. Now, "Number 16 Bus Shelter", that's bad!

Los Liiiinks!

(I have that silly Bing commercial stuck in my head and have been going around waving my arms in the air while shouting "LOS LIIIIINKS!")


Other amusing reads:
Sesame Street
Mascots (my vote is for the melon mascot)

Hey, Check Your Attitude

After reading this article I had a chance to reflect on my past experience as a customer service representative. I'm sure every position is inclined for customer service, but I was literally working in the customer service department for an electrical company. I can't tell you how much faith I lost in humanity during this time. I never had so many people yell and berate..all in a single day. This is when I learned quickly that the mantra "Do unto others.." was complete deception at best.

I have the utmost respect for people that work in the fast-food business. My first job was working the register at a fast-food joint on Mill Ave. I worked 2 hours and promptly quit. I couldn't deal with temperamental customers. My favorites were the people that would ask for a "water" cup, fill it with soda and slowly sip while standing in front of the soda dispenser, oblivious to those that paid for sodas waiting for their turn. I loved those that would ask questions* like:
"Where does the food go when it's been sitting too long?"
"Why is the bathroom locked?"
"What is your number?"
"When do you get off, what time should I be here?"
"Where did you get that eyeshadow color?"

Kept in mind this is while other customers were standing in line during the morning rush

Reminiscing is making my blood pressure rise. I'll stop here now.

*These are absolutely true questions I was asked during the morning rush

Friday the 13th Game


Ever remember the old school NES*?
(*If not, then stop reading- you're to young and this won't pertain to you)

Anyway, I played Friday the 13th when I was young and I have yet to beat this game. This is a vexing goal in my life. Believe me, I have searched for this game for about 3 years and I can't find one decent copy. Lo and behold my husband finds it and downloads it to my phone. I can't stop playing. I've taken to charging my phone in the morning and mid-afternoon from excessive playing. I still can't beat it! This bothers me because I devoted my tween years to beating every game I came across. This game is my nemesis.There's no hope for me.

I seriously think I have arthritis in both my thumbs now. :(

I hope to get to this point some day.
