You know, that annoyed me as well when I was a cashier at HD. I hated telling people I couldn't give them anything else, and having them look at me/treat me like I was purposely denying them just to be irritating when, truthfully, I would have liked to have that option to offer them and I was held powerless by the status quo.
I HATED that job. Longest summer of my life.

i worked in a cherry canning factory for a couple of summers. mind numbing. 12 hours shifts, but the pay was pretty good. talk about druggies. the supervisor was strung out of cocaine. breaks were for smoking dope. I have no idea what the line women were one. something coma inducing. I have a "good" job : testing the cherries as they came off the line. at least I got to walk around and then do the lab tests. tested them for size, hardness and sugar content. yeah. for real. :)

We get great berries out here. Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries. GE, I'm with you on blackberries--if you get a box of sweet ones thery're hard to beat. Just checked the freezer and we have some French Vanilla ice cream on hand. Dessert is looking good this evening.:D

Blackberries were on sale at SunFlower at 10 pint boxes for $10. I bought half a dozen boxes. Delicious! These berries are mid-summer sweet right now. A great springtime treat. I might have to drown a few of them in some French Vanilla ice cream for dessert tonight. :)

Pint boxes of Blackberries for $10? I bet they're stolen. Besides, Droid is where it's at now.

One more reason we love you, huskyfan. ;)


Afternoon, Lodge. We were stuck inside doing training at work, but at least they bought us pizza for lunch. :)

- Went to The Home Depot because I need to get some air filters for my heating/AC unit. I go to pay, they hand me the filters. "Can you put them in a bag?" I ask. High school girl working register tries to fit two 16x25x1 filters in a small plastic bag. Old guy manager was there too and we both go "they won't fit". I ask if they have anything bigger. The old guy manager says that's the only size bag they have. I'm incredulous, given the variety of stuff they sell there in various sizes that that's the only size bag they have. Old guy manager says "Well, it's not like people put gas grills in plastic bags". Dick. He offers to hold them till I go get my car as it's rainy and raw and he thinks I don't want to get them wet. No, dumbass, they're just easier to hold in a bag.

You needed a bag for TWO of those? Happy Earth Day.

They are great - I pick them as I walk the neighborhood. They are everywhere.
