It's my understanding that there only exists 1 fruitcake in the world - it simply gets perpetually regifted.

My brother makes a fruit cake that everyone seems to drool over and can't wait to get. I don't eat fruit cake, so I have no idea if it is really that good or not.

'twas the night before Christmas...
Well, actually three nights. I'd been over to my sisters' annual Cookie Party this evening, came home to water backing up in the kitchen sink and spilling out the trap. Now I must add "New garbage disposal" to my wish list for Santa, and I'll spend Christmas Day crawling under the sink.

Came home last night, after dark, and did my routine chicken coop check. Door's automated, should be all set. One of my black hens was missing. Every once in a while, one of them hops the fence, and I find her, scoop her up and tuck her in. Occasionally it's the next morning. Couldn't find it last night, nor this morning. Never stray far. Finally on a recheck, found a small pile of feathers..... Guessing she jumped the fence, stayed outside after dark and got discovered by a fox or coyote. Sad to lose a pet and egg-layer. Still have 3 left, and they're going to be watched closely. |

Had to turn around and go back to the garage after fishtailing a few times today Too icy even with ASR and I was on the 650 pound BMW. Holding that up when it starts to slip makes me really happy I took those advanced training courses. Had to walk (the horror!) to the grocery store.

People without a sense of humour, are rude and don't get sarcasm. There are also some people that are just way too serious about things. It's really easy to be a jerk on the Internet. It's very rare I run in to it personally in real life. Of course people also tell me I can be intimidating in person.

Moving some things around in the house yesterday, I discovered a packet containing a blank Piaggio key. Can't figure out where the hell it came from, probably been in that spot a good 6 months or longer. Most recently I'd lost my set of GTS keys (learned not to carry a set of keys from one scooter when riding another ), but It almost seems this predates. Perhaps I'd ordered the Piaggio key by mistake? Anyway, wracking my brain to figure out where it came from.
Unfortunately, I just reminded my dealer to send me a blank that I can have cut, so that's likely in the mail by now. Grrr. I seem to have a habit of thinking I'll remember something, but time goes by and it's gone. Seemed so simple at the time. Note to self: Take notes/label things...... Now I'm trying to remember what I'd read about Piaggio keys....IIRC, they're equal to Vespa, but tend to rip off of a ring less often? Any extra programming needs? |

What generally pisses me off is when going through the drive through at a fast food restaurant, I'll get up to the window to receive my order, they'll hand me my drink(s), and ask me to pull forward (or some variation of that). I generally refuse.
Then I have to explain that whenever I do that, my order gets screwed up somehow, and I either have to (1) go in to have it corrected (thus defeating the whole point of going through the drive through), (2) wait while the person who ran it out to me goes in to get it fixed (which means my food gets cold), or (3) go home and miss out. This weekend they asked me to pull forward and I refused, citing the above reason. I then asked for some specific condiments. I had a list of them (Sweet 'n' Low, ketchup, grape jelly), because they were for my wife. The window person asked for the list. I gave it to her, figuring that would ensure it was perfect. When she handed me my order, I checked it, and an item was missing (thus proving my point). I got her attention and got my missing item. When I got home, I pulled our food out and was handing my wife's order to her, and discovered they gave us Equal, ketchup, and no grape jelly. So even when they had the list written out for them, they got it wrong. |

Or stop going to McDonalds and go to Chik-Fil-A where they hire somewhat intelligent people. Never had an order wrong there. And if I ever do, it must be what I really wanted, because Chik-Fil-A knows best.

One of my big issues with most fast food drive thrus is that they have you pull forward to wait, which games the system. Their system shows you've been served, when you haven't, thus making them look better. They are then able to take their time on your order (which should mean it's perfect) without any penalty. It's a BS metric. It's like when you get your car serviced at the dealer, and afterward they ask you to give them all 10s (or 5s or whatever is perfect), because anything less than perfect is failing. What's the point, then? |

I rate it fairly and somewhat positive (score was 93%), but there were a couple of things they could work on. I get this long text missive from the lady, just whining and apologizing for "failing me" and now she had to do this whole thing with her bosses, etc. I called and told her, "if you really are doing the survey for the right reasons, then you'll get an honest survey from me. If you want dishonest and siccophany, I'm not your man. And I'm happy to explain this to your bosses". Due for service soon - can't wait to call her. |

The surveys ask you to rate the customer service face of the company, the person behind the counter, for things over which they have little control. How about rating the surveys themselves and the policies behind them, for a change? |

What's the point, then? Oh man, but this is a peeve of mine. Was just in the Ford dealer for first service on my 150. Rep gives me the whole spiel - "nothing but excellent please". I rate it fairly and somewhat positive (score was 93%), but there were a couple of things they could work on. I get this long text missive from the lady, just whining and apologizing for "failing me" and now she had to do this whole thing with her bosses, etc. I called and told her, "if you really are doing the survey for the right reasons, then you'll get an honest survey from me. If you want dishonest and siccophany, I'm not your man. And I'm happy to explain this to your bosses". Due for service soon - can't wait to call her. The surveys ask you to rate the customer service face of the company, the person behind the counter, for things over which they have little control. How about rating the surveys themselves and the policies behind them, for a change? |
