My one day as a WalMart greeter

My DH is such a worrier & worries about going broke before we die, so when I want to make a large purchase, he says - do you want to end up as a Wal-Mart greeter!! Hey - I'm glad he worries - I still believe there is a money tree in the backyard!

Oh Kathyl ... Is this truly you, or is it a quote from You Tube or something? >gg< If it is you, I don't think your nerves would stand this job! ... and I wouldn't have lasted an hour, I'm sure ... Oh dear, it is really funny .. .

No worries....It's just a joke I copied. Though if I would ever do that job, I'd probably not last as long. I'd be telling the customers.. "You're wearing that? Don't you have mirrors at your house?" "Shouldn't you have ore vegetables than ice cream in your cart?" etc......no, I probably wouldn't make it two hours.

Ah! I'm sort of sorry in a way >gg< Great laugh, though! . In message , KJ writes

LOL! I'm not quick enough to think of a comment like that when it was needed. It would be a couple days later before I'd come up with a biting retort.

Kathyl -- shame on you for omitting the spew warning!!! My tea is all over my monitor, and I'm expecting you to arrive any minute now to clean it all up! ;)

I'll be right over!

Good Lord! I almost choked on my tea! What a wonderful bit of humor.

I have a good track record of not "acting out" as they call it now. But the other day I was dealing with my bank (the bank from...someplace bad) and had read the number on the front twice to the "customer service representative" on the other end of the line. She asked me, for the third time, what name was on the front and I assured her it was my name, spelling it out phonetically, for the third time. There was a long pause and then she said "...... are you sure?" I was speaking to the manager faster than you can say "Yes I'm sure, you idiot." Ooof. I'll probably have to wait outside heaven for that one, greeting those loud, rude, unwashed masses. "Good morning and welcome to Heaven..."

I aim to be real careful at work, afterall I represent [and have been reminded] our Court to the people who I interact with.

One morning one of our frequently attending attorneys came up to me to sign the stipulation to have my commissioner hear her case. Then she returned in two minutes and said she had changed her mind. [She had agreed to have that case heard by him a couple of weeks earlier, and you cannot "switch horses in mid-stream".] She claimed she didn't know what she was signing - although the sheet clearly states what it is. Outta my mouth, speedily bypassing all censors, came "Oh, wait, Ms. XXXX, you sign things without reading them first? Gosh, are your clients aware of that particular quirk of yours?"

Needless to say, she was not amused. but she does look at the paperwork every time now ;)

G> Good Lord! I almost choked on my tea! What a wonderful bit of humor. >

I find as I am getting older that I am much more outspoken than when I was a shy, young thing. Have you all had the U.S. Census taker at your door yet? He rang my bell & identified himself a couple of days ago, then he asked me what my address was!!!!!!!!!!!! It was all I could do to simply tell him my address & not laugh out loud in his face. He then input it into his hand held computer and off he went. I'm giving you all a heads up before it happens to you. Try to give your address with a straight face. (I live in a house, in a circle, with the numbers clearly on the front of my house.)

But, Pauline, he was a 'man' - see me ducking and running for cover. Di

SPEW indeed!!

yeah, we had one here at the office...wanted to know if this was a business or a private residence...geez, i dunno? could the 8" letters on the front of the building be a clue?????

Pauline uttered forth:

So then I spake thus:

Actually, they're required to do that around here. We have a lot of people who "stay" in friends' houses throughout the year so they can claim residency. They use their real homes for everything else. So a census taker has to ask for the address to make sure it matches and the person answering the door really lives there. Otherwise, we have a squatter on hand and need to boot 'em out. We live in a small enough area that the police are notified pretty quickly about so-and-so who seems to think Indian Trails is actually Fifth Street....

Frighteningly enough, it has happened.
