just give it to the church

One more story.

Someone I know decided to give away an old computer to make way for a new one. The old one ran MS-DOS, not something the average person was up to. 💾 🖥️

This person said, “I think I’ll give the old computer to the church!”

I had to jump in there and say, “why don’t you let me haul it to the recycling center for you and save the minister from having to do it.”

one of those bad jobs i had

I spilled coffee on a white t-shirt this morning, and it reminded me of a job I had ages ago.

It was in a shitty store, but it was clean, indoors, and had a deal with the nearby food court.

The owner/manager scheduled a summer cookout in a city park. Better than nothing.

She then made it into a semi potluck, “hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided, but y’all need to bring the drinks and sides.” Some definitely brought some drinks. 🍸

There was a giveaway during the cookout (potluck) which made jaws drop. There was a t-shirt with a coffee stain on it, a souvenir mug with a chip in it, and some item that was missing a part.

Some employees made a showy display of fawning over the item then walking it to the nearby trashcan and dropping it in. Obviously not team players.

At least we got weeks of “can you believe that shit?” out of it. 😂

the mowers are here

The lawn crew came for the business next to my house today on a holiday. Really. Take a GD day off.

It will be about 45 minutes of the roaring mowers shaking my house. The blowers will be next with the worn out motors going, “wahhhh, wahhhh” and laying down a blue blanket of rich exhaust across my yard. Those beat-up blowers scream like sirens.

There. Whine done, for now.
