B365V2.109 - Random thoughts and things

I know I didn't blog yesterday, but I warned about that way back at the beginning of the year, I would only blog went the spirit moved me and not try subjecting myself to some sort of schedule. Not that I was away from the page, I did answer a comment as well as repost a couple of entries for Throwback Tuesday over on Facebook. I know it is supposed to be Throwback Thursday, but I play by my own rules here.

Still no winner on the blog contest, only one guess so far and it did not get 6 of the ten countries, however 5 of the guesses were correct so if anyone needs hints there may be some in the first guess. Knowing me like I do, two countries should be obvious, so that would only leave 4 to guess at.

I am sitting here at home watching DOOL on my laptop between spats of typing. Why oh why did they kill off Serena Mason? Admittedly she wasn't the most beloved character on the show, but she was the hottest. Red hair (bonus on charisma checks) and actual curves as opposed to most of the stick figure like females that make up the rest of the cast.

So I failed to mention that my scam artist was back the other day asking for more money. This time she was claiming that she was her own mom using her account and could I send money to help get her out of jail. Boy, if there is one thing people do not need to be doing these days is poking me over nonsense. Far better for people who only want things from me to keep their distance these days, I don't have the patience for it.

Nobody asked me (but nobody asks me anything these days) but Mike Huckabee being on stage with Kim Davis is really no better than those religious hucksters on Sunday morning TV that beg you to send them money for their private jets and crystal cathedrals, because God loves bling. The only reason Huckabee was on that stage (and Ted Cruz was prowling in the background, was to cash the check of bigots who think it is okay to ignore the law.

So, I was just checking my newsfeed on Facebook, which is an exercise in brain cell killing if ever there was one, and I saw an article that there are financial issues with some of the restaurants in the chain started by Toby Keith. Apparently telling people how much he wants to put a boot in the ass of a terrorist, which may be a noble endeavor, doesn't pay the bills.

My Ipad replacement should be here tomorrow. I say here like I live here or something, I am having is shipped to work, which is where I do most of my living anyway. Sadly I have all of my major stuff delivered to work, my Amazon orders (unless I have bought a gift for someone, then it goes right to them,)this will be a Walmart order. Little did I realize when I first placed it, I still have one of the company credit cards linked to my Walmart account. I am pretty sure that card has been shut off now, there was an issue with fraud and the card. But had I know I could have been having goodies sent to me all of the time. It would have been Christmas at Matt's house, ordering so many packages that I don't know what is in each one. I realize that by failing here I have violated a few Ferengi Rules of Acquisition. Some day I will learn.

Possible violations include;
Once you have their money ... never give it back.
Never pay more for an acquisition than you have to.
Opportunity plus instinct equals profit.
Greed is eternal.
There is no honour in poverty
Dignity and an empty sack is worth the sack.
Just to name a few. I would have sucked at being a Ferengi.

So we had an issue at work today, one of our people on the second shift was going to be late, she was having a roofer over to her house to fix something, and trying to get people to cover was like pulling teeth. That's okay though, because I get plenty of free stuff that comes across my desk, most of which I give to employees and I have a pretty good memory for such things. The people that help me out are more likely to get stuff than those that don't. I am not Ed, I am not trying to be everyone's friend, those people that go out of their way for me I will do the same for them.

Anyway, I am going to wrap this up, sans the bow and shit. If you have ever seen me wrap gifts you would know why (I am terrible at it).
