Got to get out

I'm tired of being in Winter's grip. I want to be out. I want the spring. I mean I shouldn't because they are talking about a lot of flooding, but the flooding doesn't affect me since I'm in the city on the hill. They call themselves the hill toppers. Anyway I just do not want to deal with snow tonight. Or later this month. Just want it over. Want to wear my shorts and all that fun.
The gym is not going to be quiet in the mornings anymore. There is someone in there everyday. It's just not going to be easy doing my workouts. So many of my workouts require me to be uninterrupted. Always a pain the ass. I know once summer rolls around it will be quiet again. Everyone gets all gung ho in spring, but in summer they go out and go to the beach and all that jazz. Plus I'm sure one of the things leading to so many people in there is they are trying to find times when the local indoor football team isn't in there. I think that's why so many are coming in the morning. They figure they aren't in there at that time. Plus at night there is a class that goes on a good portion of the week.
One thing I truly can not stand is people and simple math. 400 is smaller then 1000. 2000 is bigger then 1000. I had customers in the store yesterday that didn't get that. Then after showing the great math skills there one of the guys questions my change making skills. He was getting the product at 15% off. He asked what would be the new price and I told him it was 34 something. Well he wants it. I tell him the total price which was $36.09. He gives me $40. I give him his change. So he and his buddy leave and the two stand out in the hall studying the bill. I knew what was coming.
So this is the opening for Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. It's the 35 Super Sentai Series. Plus the rangers this season can transform into any of the rangers from the other 34 seasons. Trying to decide if I like the season or not. Today's tip is before you throw a fit about the amount of change you get back, make sure you are looking at the total.

And I'm off

Yeah I need a day off. It's been a long Friday. A long and cold Friday. On the plus side I've been looking for tickets to go to texas. Ugh ticket prices are terrible. Worst part is I can't even use Southwest because they don't station at my airport. So I'd have to drive like 2 hours to get to an airport where they actually are. Not fun.
Today's tip is you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover which is why book companies put so much effort into the titles of books.

Sorry about that

Was really really busy yesterday. A lot happened. Sadly some asshole shoplifted and what pisses me off is that if I had spent two seconds looking I would have caught him. My boss said don't worry about it. You at least know who it is and the next time they come in we'll make sure we get him. Pisses me off though. Ugh pisses me the fuck off.
The other thing pissing me off is the weather. I'm so ready for spring. No more snow, no more ice, no more negative temperatures. I keep trying to tell myself oh just make it through February. Make it through this month and it will get warmer. I mean I was going to the gym at about 6:20 and I could see the sun starting to rise. Couldn't say that a week ago. So we are getting there.....very slowly. I will say when it melts it's going to be very very very wet.
Today's song is the Ketchup Song. The funny thing is that's actually the name of the song. I heard it several times and I tried to find the name of it. Then when I heard it was the Ketchup song I just shook my head. Today's tip is bad things happen. How you handle it will determine how much of your life will be lived after something bad happens.

No more cold

Yep so ready for it to be spring. Tomorrow evening the temperature is going to drop at least 15 degrees below zero. That means Friday morning it's going to be oh so cold. Which makes me think maybe I should take Friday morning off and going on Saturday, but well I don't want to. I like the way I have things broke up. Monday and Tuesday I go to the gym. Wednesday I typically do a short ab workout. Then I go in Thursday and Friday and take Saturday off. Sunday I do a longer ab workout and use my shake weight in the afternoon then it starts all over again. The ab workouts are more of a relaxation thing for me rather then an actual workout. When I find something I like I don't change. I'm an old man in that respect.
What always shocks me is how cheap some people can be. Especially people that have the money to well afford things. I have so many examples of this. This one guy that comes in has money. His family was in the recycling business or trash business or something like that. Anyway the man is so cheap. He refuses to buy his supplements until he's completely out. That means if we are out we have to hear about how he only has 1 day left. Well if you had come in when you were getting low you'd have the product, but no you refuse to spend the money until you see it's absolutely necessary. There is another guy that is so cheap that he we go next door, get a cup of coffee and sit there for hours getting free refills. He takes people's Foxy Shopper (the free newspaper that comes out every Monday) and sits there reading it and taking things out of it then leaving his mess on the bench. One guy who actually worked out with him said that him and his wife go to restaurants, order something, finish most of it, then complain bitch and moan until they get the meal for free. He goes to places only for free things. Wow how much of a cheap bastard are you? It's actions like that, that make it obvious why he wasn't successful at his job.
If you are somewhat in the anime lover circuit then you know the song Hare Hare Yukai. If not look it up. It's probably the most posted and copy dance in anime history. It's from the anime The melancoly of Suzumiya Haruhi. It's an anime that is unlike many others. The episodes are not in a chronological order leading 2 ways to view the anime. You can watch it in chronological order which causes a lot of skipping around, or watch it in the order that the creator had. It leads to two completely different viewings. I've done both. I suggest watching it like the creator wanted first then in chronological order. I did it the other way around and regretted it. Anyway this is the song and dance from the PS2 video game. If you watch the look makes a bit more sense. Today's tip is a good friend will point out when you do something stupid. A great friend joins you.
