Good news! My Mac is back so I can go back to writing! I had an unfortunate issue with it and brought it to the Mac store at the Burlington Mall and those swell folks shipped it out and it is now back safely to me and is working! I am still new to the Mac world and all I can say is that their customer service is AWESOME! There is nothing worse than being stuck at work without your Mac to play on!
I don’t even know where to start with the blog except to tell you when I picked up my Mac at the Burlington Mall the other night, I had a flashback to being a kid. You see, when I was younger I was a handful for my mother. I would constantly take off on her and hide when we went to the mall. There was something about hearing my name paged through those speakers that I found interesting, so I would just take off and wait for my name to be called.
I guess my mother did not seem to have as much fun with it as I did. I had a flashback of walking through the mall hooked up to this blue harness…something similar to what I put my Jack Russell Terrier in to take him outside! I had like a 3 foot range and really could not get out of it. It like went over my shoulders and around my waist and was really not cool. My sister even had to wear a pink one. We must have looked like little ponies leading our mother around the mall. I really hated it and for a moment, could see myself back in it walking through the mall. I think that was an unfair punishment just because I liked to hear my name announced.
My 7 year old daughter told me that she quit her job the other day. Yes, that is right…my 7 year old quit her job! My BFF Bill owns C&S Pizza in Pepperell and our daughters are the same age and play together. It turns out, that my daughter has been under the impression that she works there, even going as far as to put her name on the schedule.
I asked her why she quit her job and she looked at me with a very serious look on her face and said “because I didn’t get paid”. I had to hold back laughing and I asked her what did she do for her “job”? She told me that she had put cheese on 19 pizza’s one day and never got paid for it so she crossed her name off of the schedule and quit. She was very firm that if she wasn’t getting paid, she was not working and would find another job. I told my friend Bill about it and they had a talk with her. They asked her how much they owed her and she told them $5. Well, she got paid and is back on the schedule. She is putting it towards her 47857632th Webkin. Lucky me!
I watched the Def Leppard / Taylor Swift “Crossroads” show on CMT while hiding in my office today. If you haven’t seen it yet, click here for info on when it is on next. I love Def Leppard and thought the show was awesome. I am going to have to get it on TiVo and somehow make an audio cd of it as well. I have seen them play a few times and they always put on a great show!
Well, I need to go fix my fantasy football team and reacquaint myself with my Mac. More blogs to come!
