Attitude!

i have come to the conclusion that
ppl with mighty fine attitude's
just piss me off

why must some people think
they are better then others and
come off all snippy with a wide
ass attitude

life is so short in so many ways
what is the problem with just being nice

i find with just one question asked in
the most simplest of ways, the answer
is a retort with a attitude

whether it be the telephone company,
the cable service, the doctors office
etc. everyone has a attitude

try as i might to be very sweet when
i call, i soon find myself crazed over
what i am dealing with

i step back, think, thank them
and hang up, only to call right back
hoping, actually praying to get
someone nicer next time around

this is how i deal with it
frustrating at best!

Zona - thanks!!

Joey - I know you are out there!!!
:-) Dangnabit - come out of hiding!!

Zona said...

ITEACH: I wrote and got foaded and then the next post took forever to show up!

MEK: That might have been the slowest march in nest history!

DreamaTexas said...

Wabbear!

MEK in AZ said...

Zona - no kidding on that slow march - heck, I didn't think I would EVER get to the finish line

Just_Lin said...

MEK Joey sent me a comment so he is definitely around. Oh, you have mail. :)

MEK in AZ said...

DreamaTexas said...

DreamaTexas said...

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Ha Ha Whabbear. Very funny. LOL! Things in Nova Scotia are just fine.

For the record, I am the one who pays $70.00 for a bra. Usually $65+tax. Unfortunately it's one of those things you can't do without...at least I can't.

It's just about 11 o'clock here so I think I will call it a night. See ya all tomorrow.

kahonugrl said...

iteach said...

I am, but I'm going to bed.

iteach said...

Turtle where are you?

kahonugrl said...

Somewhere between El Paso and San
antonio...lol. But the room is clean, they have wireless (in the middle of nowhere...) and we just ate at some dive, but it was the best steak I have had in a long time!

MEK in AZ said...

Hey, Turtle and Iteach!!

Good Night, teach!!

Turtle - I don't look good in ANY of the pics that we took!! so I took the lesser of a million evils!!!

iteach said...

MEK says your going to Alabama, I was hoping you were coming to visit your mom.

MEK in AZ said...

Turtle - oh - I better say this in private email!! LOL

MEK in AZ said...

I'm watching House Hunter - these people are worried about "how close it is to the neighbor" - they should live HERE!!! LOL...
They practically build on top of each other!!!

iteach said...

MEK, Mr. Iteach and I just looked at your golf pictures.

He said you defiently need to use the one that you titled "Possible Christmas Card Picture" as your Christmas card picture.

Why?

Because it said Accenture right next to you!

In case the other owls don't know that is the name of his work place.

He is such a goof!

MEK in AZ said...

Iteach - I thought Mr. Iteach would like the free advertising!! :-)

MEK in AZ said...

Oh, and Iteach - we were all trying to figure just exactly WHAT accenture is and does??!!

ibebold said...

The best steak you ever had, Sue? Are you serious, or were you just very hungry??? Sometimes those "hole in the wall" joints do cook the best food in the whole dang USA!!!

If you are ever here, let me know, we can rent a Wine Country Limo and visit all the wineries you want!!! And everyone else is invitied too! Let's have a Wine Country Party!

kahonugrl said...

want: can you whistle a tune for us while eating those crackers?

DreamaTexas said...

Carol,
I sent half my bottle of Midol over to Joey but I'll share what we haven't gobbled up with you. Let me also offer you a large bag of potato chips, cookies, pretzels & crackers. When I have PMS then I must chew crunchy stuff. it's calming.

spring said...

Dreama I think it is calming for two reasons.. first the salt/fat ratio and second..it is like crunching bones

KGIRL:: lol whistle, I remember that game

kahonugrl said...

nowmercy:

No we are a 980 miles into it, I am in Texas between El Paso and San Antonio...the final destination for my friend is Alabama, then I go to Atlanta on the 5th to visit with family and return to Honolulu on the 6th.

spring said...

Too slow for me tonight...
KGIRL:
Happy Trails and may the wind remain behind you now and in the future (unless you are having a hot flash and need a cool breeze or are being followed by a flatulent flatfoot
WANT:
May you catch a pass from Joe tonight heheheh
MEK:
May your MUNCHIES last at long as you need them to and be consequence free
CAROL:
May your puter be magic, your sleeping be deep and your Sunday be blessed

Night night

night.owls.sb said...

ok this turtle needs to flip over on her shell and get some sleep, we are gonna start earlier than planned and try to out drive the thinderstorms that are supposed to be in the texas area tomorrow afternoon.

ill check in tomorrow night, and those that have the cell text away it keeps me entertained on the road!!

and yes MO i do it safely!!! and no armadillo sightings so far.

goonnite' y'all from texas

MEK in AZ said...

K'girl - safe travels - hope you get a good night's sleep!!
DRIVE SAFE!! Good Night.

DreamaTexas said...

K'Girl
The armadillos are out there. I saw my first one up close and personal when I was hiking a wooded trail. It was venturing down the same trail but coming toward me. We were eye ball to eye ball as I rounded a turn. Both it and I came to a screeching stop, bounced up in the air and fled in opposite directions. The only difference is it was speachless and I screamed a blood curdling yell that went for miles. It was kind of cartoonish now that I think about it. Armadillos are harmless. They just look so prehistoric.

DreamaTexas said...

Midnight, bedtime!
Byeee y'all.

night.owls.sb said...

I am off to bed as well...

See you owls tomorrow...

Hopefully blogger.com will be better tomorrow!

Nite all
