Another reason why I don't Face Book or Twitter...

Wendy's

When I was little, my dad and I would often pick up a Wendy's hamburger and take it to my mom who worked as a nurse at the children's hospital. Mom often worked shift work so when we could we would meet her for supper. Maybe dad just couldn't cook, so we got burgers on those nights? Anyway, I loved a Wendy's hamburger.

This past Wednesday, Remembrance Day, my cousin and I had lunch plans. We decided that since we both had to work on a stat. holiday and that that was a bunch of crap, we would have lunch. All I really wanted was a nice bun and a nice bowl of soup. Not too much to ask right? Well. We went to five different lunch cafes only to find them all CLOSED. For REMEMBRANCE DAY. Why were we working on a stat. when so many others were not. What a bunch of crap. Finally we just went to Wendy's. Our hour lunch was now down to half and hour and we were hungry.

I was a little skeptical. It seems every time I go to this Wendy's location it's a complete shit show. Seriously. I don't got that often, usually because of said shit show, but they just can't seem to get it together. Ever. We go in anyway, and there's a line up. And the line moves s-l-o-w-l-y. As usual. Finally it's my turn and I already know there's going to be a complication, because I want one meal to stay and one to go. I should have jut asked for everything to go. But I didn't. I ordered a number 1 combo, just a burger, fries and drink - iced tea, and a Double Baconator combo. The girl at the till asked me if I wanted the large drink. No. A regular sized iced tea, I didn't need a pailful of drink. Well. The girl at the till was new and was over charging me by not pressing the combo button - the other girl at the counter sorted that out for me. I ended up getting a litre of cola, even though I asked for regular, whatever no big deal. I laughed. A shit show every. single. time.

This is where the problems start. Some guy two ahead of us ordered a burger no lettuce no onions. Because of the special order he had to wait. Then the first guy ahead of us decided he wanted an extra chili. Well he ended up with 2 burgers he wasn't supposed to have and no chili. Not knowing, he took half of his order (which came on two trays) to his table. The girl at the till thought he left. She puts his other burgers to the side. No onion, no lettuce guy is still waiting. Then there are burgers and fries everywhere and the girl at the counter doesn't know what any of them are or to which order they belong. My cousin and I can't help but giggle. We know what goes where and we're just standing in line. Extra chili guy has to bring back his tray, he gets all his burgers, no chili. No lettuce, no onions guy is still waiting. Finally my cousin says, "This guy has everything he needs, except the chili. That burger goes to this gentleman here. Then come our orders. Cheeseburger, Double Baconator and Spicy Chicken."

The girl at the counter: "What did you want in the to go bag?" I said, "Well if you just give me a bag then I can just put in what I need to." Okay? Okay! 45 minutes after beginning our journey we had our lunch. We actually got everything we ordered, except for my exceptionally large drink, which I never did finish...

I'll Have The Chicken!

You Are a Chicken

You are a very observant and even snoopy creature. You are curious about the world, and you're always aware of what's going on. And while you're interested in the world around you, you are also very private. You are protective of your personal space, and you don't like it when you feel like your boundaries are being crossed. You can get along with others, even in a big group, as long as you're able to maintain your uniqueness and individuality.

Issues with Blogger?

Yankee Girl has brought to my attention that when she visits me the comments are being displayed over my actual posts making it nearly impossible to read the posts.

Is anyone else having this problem when you visit me? Or at your own site? Any advice? Anything? Anyone?

I have noticed the same problem when I go back to my older posts, but not any current posts.

Would it have something to do with changing the layout recently?

Blech.

I've been at home sick for the past two days. I feel like a waste of a human. I hate sitting around doing nothing, but as soon as I try to get up and get something done this cold kicks my ass and says, "Sit back down on the couch and rest!" It's nothing serious, just a minor sore throat and a few sneezes. I'm feeling better today and should be back to work tomorrow.

I did manage to get my basement cleaned up. I have so much more room for activities now. I have some furniture to refinish, some painting to do... When you own a house there are always "projects" to do.

Also for your viewing pleasure, I've updated my Etsy shop, there' s a few new things in there if you're interested. I take custom orders, just send me an e-mail! Christmas is coming...

I'm left standing in an empty, purple room.

An opera is heard in the background. The scene fades to black.

It's over.

Got this in my e-mail today, kinda made me laugh...

Celebrities...

Katie Lee is the new poster girl for Chex cereal and party mix? Give me a break. She has a three page ad in the new Rachael Ray magazine.

I also see that my Tuesday/Thursday boyfriend, Tyler Florence, is the new poster boy from Ocean Spray! He has a full page ad with some new delicious recipes using cranberries! He's so dreamy!

November Sweeps?!

What the hell is that? Sounds like a piss poor reason to yank my regularly scheduled programing and replace it with re-runs! Fellow blogger Slyde informed me that the re-runs last night (and all this week from what I can see) are for the November Sweeps. Well I Googled that sonovabitch only to find out its for ratings!

This is exactly why I hate getting sucked into stupid tv shows! Networks get you all hooked on funny nerds and hot girls and suspenseful plot lines and soon you're re-arranging your life to sit around the boob tube to watch some stupid show. You're not going out to walk the dog or wash your car or god forbid get some exercise because your addicted to tv and the addiction takes over...

And then! For RATING PURPOSES they yank the show for a week or two and give you OLD CRAP thinking it will fill the void, when it certainly does not. Where is the vicodin?!

I'm going to record everything and watch it at 2am December 12th, 2010 and all the Networks can suck on their ratings. When FRIENDS went off the air I should have pitched my tv with it... I miss my nerds and hot women...

P.S. When I TiVo something do the networks still get my rating?

WTF?

Can anyone tell me why all the new tv shows are re-runs this week?

I waited all day to watch Big Bang Theory only to find it was a re-run, the same with Accidentally on Purpose and Two And A Half Men. I see tomorrow's NCIS is also a re-run. What gives? General Hospital was a new one this afternoon...

I tried Googling any U.S. events but couldn't come up with anything. To my U.S. readers: do you know why? I'm getting frustrated...
