Coping with boredom

Last night, we had a 17-something and a 14-something truck. With our staff reduced to less than 50% and add the fact that they are cutting our hours, a three thousand piece day is pretty daunting. So far our store has eliminated at least one day from our normal schedules and reduced the rest of our days by an hour. Anyways, it was a rough day so you have to find something to "entertain" yourself.

On our breaks and lunch, we were invaded by flies. It's nothing new, really, as we have been dealing with them all summer but I've gotten so sick of them that I actively hunted them down. Managed to kill off six. Oddly enough, this disgusted Joni and Ms. Sally. But what's more disgusting, seeing dead flies or having them land in your food? I swear that towards the end of the evening, those little buggers got smart. They actually started to keep away.

But the greatest was when I split my sides laughing so hard when we pulled out some dildos from the breakpacks. I waved them over to Joni who laughed so hard that she fell to her knees. This got me laughing so hard that I the muscles in my side started to spasm. It hurt so bad that I had to yell out "Shut up!" over and over again so I could have a chance to compose myself. I tried looking for picture to show you but the closest I could get for you was the ones off to the right. And no, they're not actually dildos but dog toys.

Meet Bob

 I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

Be fruitful and multiply...by ten.

Some coworkers and I were talking about that lady in Arkansas that just delivered her 17th child. The Associated Press announced the good news a couple days ago and I remembered the family from the Discovery Channel . The Duggar family had been the subject of a number of specials dealing with large families. They are especially memorable given that the number of kids as well as their, well, peculiar lifestyle. The people that I was talking to balked at the idea of having that many kids with a few of them openly calling the Duggar parents crazy. I have to admit, I think that they are little bonkers in the head too. But you know, that’s cool on the other hand too. And it’s actually impressive that they are able to afford to have such a large family. There are some parts of me that would like to have a large family. (My definition of large stops at five kids just so you know.) But their criticisms largely used the Duggars' religious faith. From what this article indicated, they are pa

Whatever happened to the Queer Golden Rule?

Wow, Tyler Whitney is popping up all over the gay blogging circuit but the rest of America doesn’t care. Mr. Whitney is an 18 year old staffer for a Republican candidate for President. He was outed. This has caused a little firestorm amongst the gay bloggies with many calling this guy a bigot, an a-hole, and even worse. The way some people have responded to this, Mr. Whitney is fit to be tied to the stake and burned for not being a good little gay. I do not deny that Mr. Whitney has done some pretty offensive stuff. Carrying anti-gay placards that aren’t even fit to be called “homophobic” certainly strikes points against him. However, as I read more about him the more I genuinely feel the need to reach out and hug him. Because I know that he has got to be feeling pretty alone. He’s getting grief from two communities who are openly hostile to which he belongs -conservatives and gays. I have to ask though, is he really deserving of such scorn? Look, his “crime” is working for an
