Out of tea bags!

You know you are desperate for a cup of tea when you heat up iced tea and add milk...

It started today...

My best buddy for over 30 years, Starsky, started chemo and radiation today.

I'm so distracted, it's hard to get anything done.

Another work anecdote....

One of my jobs was to set up the store for each new promo, making displays of sale items in the front of the store. One afternoon I was busy putting various telephones on a table by the front door, when a young man came in, walked up, and watched me for a few moments.

I straightened up from my work, asking, “May I help you?”

“Yeah,” he said. “Do you sell phones?”

Anecdotes

I worked at an electronics store for a couple of years back in the nineties. There were a few humorous things that occurred, and I thought I'd share one...


Our computer tech used to have me field questions for tech support, as he knew I could take care of simple problems, and it would free him to help those with more complicated issues. So, one time I answered the phone and it was a woman who just bought a computer from us; I recognized her unique voice. And winced. She was, hm, how can I say this nicely? ...Very computer illiterate. I anticipated a lengthy conversation helping her do something very complex, such as finding the "On" button.

She began, "My keyboard is missing some keys."

Me: "I beg your pardon?"

Her: "My keyboard is missing some keys. The computer keeps telling me to press the "Any" key, but there isn't one."

Me (trying to suck my cheeks so I don't laugh in her ear): "Ah, yes, well that model doesn't an "Any" key, you're right. But you can use the space bar -- that's the long, straight bar on the bottom row, can you see it? Great. It works just like the "Any" key."

Her: "Oh, that's wonderful! Thank you! But you know, you should really tell people about this model not having that "Any" key."

Me: "You're right. I'm sorry. I'll try to remember from now on."
