My Fave… Honey Greek Yogurt

Oh my gosh! I am in love with Trader Joe’s Fage honey greek yogurt.
It is absolutely delish and has now become my fav! I bought two the other day just to try. I wasn’t expecting them to be anything special (boy were my expectations wrong). Next time I may just buy the regular greek yogurt and use my own honey, seeing that I could save money by using my own. If I was smart I would start eating healthier and avoid the honey altogether. But it’s just sooooooooooooooooooo damn good. You simply must try it!

What the?!

I was checking my e-mail, when I happened to glance at one of the ads that were moving before my eyes. Two armless gloves milking cows (possibly bodyless cows). Jeff just happened to be sitting next to me telling me a story when he too got lured in by the animated milking gloves (perhaps they are playtex). We both busted out laughing.

Boy, the online ads are out of control are they not? That is rhetorical of course, as comments are off.

Sorry.

IKEA Project

IKEA’s Canton project has ended and I am NOT a Tokig or even a Diehard fan (apparently). I signed up only to forget about it. Then by the time I remembered and started racking up points, it was over. I only got down to being like #1000 out of a gazillion. Ohh well. There’s always this nifty web site to check out the new store and its products (since I won’t get to see anything before the store actually opens).
*sigh* it’s for the better. Our house is in no position for decorating anway. Drywall from Home Depot….now that’s more like it.

Computer Assistance

Thank you to Jeff’s dad for this great forward. I often have to deal with beginning computer users both in person and on the phone while at the library. While I don’t mind helping teach computer literacy skills (it tis my job), it can get pretty frustrating when someone just doesn’t “get it” no matter how many times you have shown or told them.

Today I helped out with a basic e-mail class. I got quite a work out running to and from patrons setting up e-mail accounts. There actually are a LOT of people out there who still do not know how to click a mouse believe it or not. I just try to do my best at remembering what it was like when I too was a beginner (which is SUPER hard for me because my first experience with computers was in elementary school back in the mid- 1980’s).

I copied and pasted this out of my e-mail. I don’t know where it REALLY came from or who wrote it. Perhaps the story IS true. Who knows. It very well could be. Luckily, I haven’t come across anyone this bad:

Customer Service Call
This has got to be one of the funniest things I’ve heard of in a Long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a True phone
call from the Word Perfect Help line which was transcribed from a Recording
monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the HelpDesk
employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the WordPerfect
organization for “Termination without Cause.” This is actual Dialogue of a
former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. Now I know why they record
these conversations!

Ridge Hall computer assistance; may I help you?”

“Yes, well, I’m having trouble with WordPerfect.”

“What sort of trouble?”

“Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.”

“Went away?”

“They disappeared.”

“Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?”

“Nothing.”

“Nothing?”

“It’s blank, it won’t accept anything when I type.”

“Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?”

“How do I tell?”

“Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?”

“What’s a sea-prompt?”

“Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?”

“There isn’t any cursor: I told you, it won’t accept anything I type.”

“Does your monitor have a power indicator?”

“What’s a monitor?”

“It’s the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a
little light that tells you when it’s on?”

“I don’t know.”

“Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord
goes into it. Can you see that?”

“Yes, I think so.”

“Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it’s plugged into the
wall.”

“Yes, it is.”

“When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables
plugged into the back of it, not just one?”

“No.”

“Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other
cable.”

“Okay, here it is.”

“Follow it for me, and tell me if it’s plugged securely into the back of
your computer.”

“I can’t reach.”

“Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?”

“No.”

“Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?”

“Oh! , it’s not because I don’t have the right angle — it’s because it’s
dark.”

“Dark?”

“Yes, the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from
the window.”

“Well, turn on the office light then.”

“I can’t.”

“No? Why not?”

“Because there’s a power failure.”

“A power… A power failure? Aha, Okay, we’ve got it licked now. Do you
still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?”

“Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.”

“Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was
when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.”

“Really? Is it that bad?”

“Yes, I’m afraid it is.”

“Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?”

“Tell them you’re too fucking stupid to own a computer.”

I’m going to start turning comments off for a while. Most of you have my e-mail address if you would like to drop me a line about anything.

Birthday

Jeff made this awesome card for his brother yesterday.
I LOVE it! I couldn’t stop laughing for “various” minutes.
I could make cards all day long with that movie site but I should probably get back to my paper.

Muglet

So Jeff made me this muglet. It was pretty disturbing, but funny (click around on the icons). I decided to make one with a picture of the the old Urban Break owner. I thought it might inspire him to want to re-open the place with an El Paso theme.

I love breakfast burritos!

I’m still around in case you’re wondering. I’ve been busy as is always my excuse. I’d like to applaud F.A.S.B, Arch, and DTC for keeping things interesting around here. I’ll write another few sentences soon. Depressed my life is so jam packed right now. No room to breathe and relax:(

Forecast for Hamtown

It doesn’t looks like May is going to be a good month for barbeques. I thought the saying was “April showers bring May flowers.” Not depression:(

Oopps she did it again….

Just when I was ready to walk away from my blog for a while to focus on my studies, I found this.

I am not going to say anything.
