On Cell phones ('N More)

I just noticed that my new HTC phone's logo has a lower case h. That will now annoy me forever.

And a lower case i in iPhone? Really Apple, is that how you feel about yourself?

Did you ever notice stores that have names like 'Sofas N More', 'Muffins N More', 'Toner N More'? What's the 'More'? Can't you just call the store 'Sofas'. 'Muffins'. 'Toner'. Then at least people know what you sell. The whole 'N More' leaves a mystery that I don't really care for.

Men wearing Uggs. What's up with that?

I just discovered that the USPS is a government funded program. Now it makes total sense why they are so slow and unreliable like, all of the time.

Fridays are the busiest day in our office, being that we cram a normal 8 hour day into 4 short hours. And you want to know a funny thing? We get all the work done in half the amount of time it normally takes us. We answer hundreds of emails and phone calls, and there's this energy like move move move rush rush rush we gotta leave at 1 so let's go. One Friday I was on the phone with a guy, and answering an email at the same time. I am learning to multi-task. Good skill to have. (Of course when prospective employers ask me, I say I can multi-task. That's a lie. I can't. I also don't have patience. But really, who would hire me if I ever told the truth?)

My office is within walking distance of my house, but on lazy days I take the bus. When I walk, I like to change my route every so often, change of scenery and all. I passed by a building a few times that looked fairly new. I couldn't tell if it was an apartment building or an office building or a medical building. It has a certain look about it. It also has very clean sidewalks outside. I don't know what that says about it. So every time I would pass by, I noticed a guy dressed like a handyman sweeping the sidewalks. I guess he's in maintenance.

One day he said good morning to me as I passed by. I am generally wary of strangers so I mumbled good morning and kept walking. The next day he said good morning to me. I might have had a look on my face that said "I don't know you so why are you talking to me", because he smiled and said to me "Don't worry, I'll be here every day, you'll get to know me." 

I wasn't sure how I felt about that. When I walked by on Xmas he wasn't there. The next day he was there and he said all nice and friendly, "Hey how was your holiday, alright, good to see you".

Ya, I think it's time to change my route.

Have a good Shabbos!

P.S. I love when it's still light outside when I leave work. I think Spring is coming. Yay.
