Winter Weather Turns us into Monsters!

I’m not sure what got into me today, maybe it was the fact that I had to drive into work this morning, when everyone else seemed to be working from home, or if every now and then we like to do something wrong for the sheer entertainment value. Whatever the reason, I did something on the ride home today that I'm sure will make Karma come back and bit me in the ass tenfold.

I was driving home from the office at about 4pm; the weather conditions were clearly not good. Slushy roads, people riding their brakes, and stopping short. After driving for a few minutes I came upon a puddle so deep the Lock Ness Monster could live in it. I had no choice but to go through it, so I did, and did the normal pumping of the breaks. Not even 20 seconds later my windshield wipers went out. Twenty or thirty F BOMBS later they went back on. I'm thinking is this really happening for real? I tried to calm myself down and threw on some Dave Matthews; this wasn’t working because the wipers went off again. A fuse was obviously affected from the monstrosity of a puddle I barreled through. I pulled over; turned the car off and back on, and they were working again.
I’m now driving along, singing along with Dave and I noticed some guy walking on the sidewalk. He was dressed in attire for climbing a summit in blizzard conditions, this irked me. There was a puddle next to the sidewalk, and I don’t know what came over me, but I purposely drove my car into the puddle just enough so the man would get sprayed, and he def did! I could see him in my rear view window throwing up the finger and shaking off his legs and arms, probably throwing out a few dozenn F BOMBS himself.. It most definitely made me laugh, and the rest of my car ride home was more enjoyable.

I am going to have to blame this one on the New England weather, it turns us into creatures from the unknown and Yes I am going to hell for this one but I know I will see a few of you there.

Cleavage and It's Power!

There is nothing I dread more than having to deal with repairs of the electronic kind. Broken phone, DVD player, radio, computer etc. you get the idea.  Over he holidays I was having some problems with my laptop, the power would only last a few hours; this wasn't going to cut it. I had finally  come to the realization that it needed to be taken to its maker for a synopsis of the problem; I made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple store.  Well because after all me with out my MAC is like Laverne without Shirley!

Apprehensive about visiting the mall two days before Christmas I bit the bullet and started on my journey. after a long day at work and sitting in hours of traffic I reached my destination LATE. I was already told if I was more than 15 min late I would lose my appointment;GREAT!

Being in the mall for no less than a minute I  felt my body start to tense up. The screaming kids, the shoppers who are not blind but still walk directly into you, the obnoxious covers of classic Christmas songs taking over the airwaves  was not what the Dr. ordered for me that night.

I was greeted by a young man at the entrance of the store. I frantically started pleading my case of why I was so late. He cut me off before I could even get so far as "i was in traffic"when he said "It's ok" and  "escorted me to the Genius Bar. While waiting, I of course started to people watch. An older couple made their way near me and were late for there appointment. The same young gentelmen told them they would have to wait until the next available slot which was at least an hour.

Another young man was at my service in a matter of minutes. I explained the complications I was experiencing with my computer. He took the computer in the back to check it out. Knowing I would be a while I continued on with my ease dropping and people watching skills.  Customers were being asked  to sign in, fill in paperwork and show their licenses. Things I didn't have to do? About 20 minutes later , the tech was back explaining I had multiple hardware and software issues. As he was rattling off what he had done to rectify the problem and what hardware I would need , the $ started adding up in my head. Just what i need a $500 bill a few days before Christmas.  He unwrapped some new hardware and switched out the old. He also grabbed some  accessories that he insisted I should have.  I was thinking to myself, "why is he assuming I want to purchase all of this now, maybe I would wait" When he was done, I looked at him leaned over just enough and said with my ever so shiny lips and signature grin"Sooo, what do you I owe?" The young man looked at me, smiled and simply said "Don't worry about it, you shouldn't have to deal with all of this right before Christmas, it's all set!!!!"

  Late for the appointment, no hassle of filling in paperwork and pulling out my license, all of the services, hardware and accessories free of charge. Was lady luck on my side? Maybe so , but I have to say my own "LADIES" did some marketable accessorizing for me that night!!!!
