Morning Woods! Late morning check-in. At least it is late for me. I slept in till just after 7. No appointments today. My nephew and his friend should be over to visit sometime today before going to the big Snoop Dogg 420 concert and didn't down in Denver tonight

Re-morning, Woods.....posted this before but seems appropriate:

FIRST & LAST DAY ON THE JOB
So after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day.

About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. I said pleasantly, “Good morning and welcome to Walmart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?’

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, “Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one is 9, and the other one is 7. Why the hell would you think they’re twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?”

So I replied, “I’m neither blind nor stupid, ma’am. I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Walmart.”

My supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work.

Larry, absolutely true story. I was sitting in the local bank one day. When you come in the entrance, theres a 6' wall to the right and then a 90* jog to the right from that with a few chairs there that you really don't notice when you come in. I see a friend of my wife's from grade school come in with her mother, but she doesn't see me. This girl is a sweet heart with a heart of gold, but sometimes a little simple minded. As she's leaving she sees me sitting there and says " Al, I didn't see you when I came in, what are you doing there?". I said " The bank is trying a new "Bank Greeter' program and I trying out for the job, kinda like WalMart". She's says " Well, if you're going to be a greeter, you have to greet people when they come in and be nice to them". I said a little astonished " You mean I actually have to talk to people?". She says " Of Course"...I looked at her with a dead serious expression and said " I don't think I'm going to like this job, I'm quitting"
