549 – Is it Friday yet???

Wow, it’s been like two weeks without a single break lately!

Last week went by in a blink I was so busy, this weekend, I hope goes by slowly.

The wine club dinner was outstanding last Sunday, with some incredible food and drink. A great time was had by all.

This weekend, the only thing we have to do is possibly go have dinner at our daughter’s place, then me, her fiancé and his best man will go out looking for suits for the wedding (yay, no tuxes!) That should be nice, as at least I get to see my daughter and grand-puppy! *chuckling* Honestly though, she’s marrying the most wonderful guy. I’m very, very happy for them both.

Well, on to something funny:

Stupid People:

When Intelligences Cancel Out

SUPERMARKET | NEW ZEALAND | AT THE CHECKOUT, MONEY ISSUES

(I am a checkout operator in a supermarket, and I have just finished ringing up a customer’s order. )

Me: “So, that comes to a total of $36.76.  Is there anything else?”

Customer: “I also want a $50 gift card.”

(I add on the gift card and hand it to her.)

Me: “Okay, now the total is $86.76. Will that be all today?”

Customer: “Yes, thank you.”

Me: “How would you like to pay for your order?”

Customer: “I’d like to use this gift card.” *hands me the same $50 gift card that I just activated for her*

Me: “Uh, you still need to pay for this gift card.”

Customer: “Yes, but I’d like to pay for it with the gift card.”

Me: “But the gift card is worth $50.  Your order is $86.76.”

Customer: *rolls eyes* “Uh-huh, so just pay $50 of it with the gift card, and I’ll give you cash for the rest!”

Me: “So that will take your total back to the original $36.76.”

Customer: *looks at me like I’m stupid* “Duh!”

Have a great weekend…!

548 – Busy? Let me tell you about busy…

Happy Friday the 13th!

This has been probably one of the busiest weeks of my life. It seems like I haven’t had 5 minutes to rest. It probably sounds funny, but I need a vacation. It seems like I’ve had meetings every night this week, and this weekend beginning tonight is full to the brim.

Even worse, I have to wear my suit on Sunday for a party we’re going to. I hate wearing a suit! *chuckling*

Hopefully, next week is better, as two weeks of this will drive me mad! *L*

Other than that, my Corvette is home, and I’m just waiting for the weather to get a touch better before taking it out. Soon though for sure.

On to something funny:

A business woman named Cindy was in the airport VIP lounge on her way to Los Angeles. While in the VIP lounge, she noticed Donald Trump sitting on the sofa enjoying a brandy. As luck would have it, Cindy was meeting with a very important client who was running somewhat late.

Being a bold business woman, Cindy decided to go ahead and approach Mr. Trump, and introduced herself. Much to her surprise Mr. Trump turned out to be very nice. Encouraged by this she explained to "the Donald" that she was about to close a very important business deal and that she would be very grateful if he could say a quick "hello Cindy" to her when she was with her client. Mr. Trump consented to do just that.

Ten minutes later while Cindy was speaking with her client, she felt a rap on her shoulder. It was Donald Trump. Cindy turned about and looked at him as Trump said.

"Hi Cindy, what's going on?"

To which Cindy glibly replied, "Not now, Donald, can't you see I'm in a meeting!"

Have a great weekend all…!
