TV to distract me

Thanks for the post from Kirk Wood

I really cannot remember the last time I really watched a lot of TV. Do not get me wrong; we have a TV and with lots of channels on it too. The problem is that I just have not had the time recently to keep up with my shows. We have had DIRECTV for so long and we even got some great deals on it. It has been nice to have because I have a lot of options for when I do have the time to watch TV. Shows like Boardwalk Empire and Damages are not really widely available. Those types of shows are on the channels that play movies all the time. It is always interesting to watch shows like that. They do not always have some huge budget to make an elaborate show, but they still do a really good job presenting the story and distracting me from whatever stresses I had throughout the day. One of the biggest things I have needed distraction from recently is one of my sisters. For whatever reason, we have not been getting along recently. I am really looking forward to the period of time where we are not mad at each other just about every day.

Remembering the old days

One of the fun things about Facebook is when someone from your past creates a page about the times and the area where you grew up. Recently a former classmate did exactly that for the area in which I grew up, and there have been a lot of fond memories being shared.

Remembering favorite pizza joints and the tunnel that we had to walk through to get to school, the old school rivalries, and the children’s clothing store that had a special display of real monkeys in the shoe department have been bringing back a lot of memories, and even managed to rekindle some old friendships. Isn’t Facebook wonderful!

Hard to stay nice

One of the things that I struggle with on almost a daily basis is how to stay nice to people who keep asking you the same question repeatedly after you have answered the question. That probably means that I shouldn’t ever try to get a career caring for senior citizens, doesn’t it?

Today I ran into some people that I had met a couple of months ago at a business meeting, and they recognized me, and although I tried to avoid them it was impossible to do so. I ended up sitting next to them at a presentation. They kept asking me questions that I could not answer, and I was having a hard time staying nice to them. After all, how many times do I have to say “I don’t know” to the same question? I wonder if my intolerence is based in my own fear that some day I will be an old imbecile myself. I hate to think that will happen any time soon, and I hope that if and when it happens that other people will be more tolerent of me than I feel that I have been. I feel guilty about that.

That makes me nervous

David was telling me that he was thinking about partnering with Merle in a cash advance affiliate program that he found out about through Blue Global Media. Apparently he was impressed by their website, and he thinks that with his Business degree and Merle’s accounting degree that they can make a success out of the venture.

I’m a little bit nervous about the venture because I’ve heard that some states are thinking about making payday loans illegal, but David and Merle are confident that won’t happen in this state. They are already picking out their storefront site and talking about payday loan leads and are very excited about the whole thing. I hope that they are not biting off more than they can chew!

I don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t work here!

Finding myself in an internet cafe at the hotel that I’m staying in, a couple of young ladies interrupted my work, asking me where my restrooms are located! It took me a moment to realize that they must have thought that since I was dressed in a business suit that I must work there! I apologized to the ladies and explained that I did not work there, and I don’t know where the restrooms are. As they walked away I had to suppress a chuckle. I hope they find what they are looking for!
