[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 150066, member: 3419"] [I]If you've made it this far - you are patient and beautiful![/I] I am? Ooooh, [I][COLOR=magenta]thank you![/COLOR][/I] LOL. :) Now for the other side of the coin ... Most of our clerks are taught to say "Have a good day," etc., but they're programmed, plastic robots who can't think for themselves. Gawd forbid the power should go out and they should have to hand write a credit card receipt, or do 5% tax in their heads! I ran errands this a.m. and one of the clerks, very, very young, looked me directly in the eye and asked, ever so earnestly, '"How is your day so far?" Now, given that I'm catching a cold, I have a son who's more closely related to a chimpanzee than a human, a daughter whose schedule changes every 15 seconds and it becomes [I]my [/I]emergency, and a schizo computer she doesn't even know how to defrag so she has to work on MINE, a workaholic husband who doesn't notice if I'm wearing jeans, an evening gown, or am buck naked, and two dogs whose idea of a good time is breaking the baby latch on the door to the trash container and scattering trash all over the house, I could have given her an earful. But then I decided that today was pretty good ... the tornado missed our house the other day, the sun is out, and I have gas in my tank ... so I gritted my teeth and said, "Fine." [/QUOTE]
