Does your Momma know that?

I really love my job....most of the time.....but there are days when dealing with the public becomes a real chore!

Today was an extremely busy day at the course, the weather was beautiful, perfect golf weather, the phone was busy...father's day on Sunday. Right around 12:30, just before my shift ended I had to deal with a group of college kids that had obviously been out "partying" all night. The "snot-nosed" leader was about as rude & belligerent as he could be & I was biting my tongue so hard I had tears in my eyes. I wanted so badly to ask him what his mother would say if she knew he treated people that way. She would have took him by the ear & he would have ended up in his room for a week!!!

I was so angry I went home without playing golf like I had planned.

 Then I was angry at myself for letting him "get to me"!

By the way guys next time you decide you must play as a fivesome,  do us all a favor....

 ....go bowling!

  2. Just read your comment on my work week. My week has been whacky but I don't have to put up with rude people ever! Really you shouldn't either. No one ever has the right to be rude to someone.

    1. I know....I wanted so badly to reach across the counter & slap him up the side of his head but unfortunately when you are working in a "customer service" business the customer is always right!! Damn-it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Yea for Don the repair guy!

My new BFF is Don the repair guy who came today to fix the dishwasher. Amazingly, after he took the door apart it would close - I really did not believe the handle was broken but was defective! It had never felt right........always kinda loose. Anyway he decided that as long as we had a new handle he would install it & even gave me the old one as a back-up. Works much better now. Funny story - while he was here he got a phone call from the office telling him one of his earlier repairs of the day had called saying their dishwasher would not start at all. He called the lady back & suggested different things for her to try but nothing worked. He said he would stop back after his next call to see what it could be. As he hung up I said "Sounds to me like she has the "child lock control" on!". Sure enough after another phone call that turned out to be the problem! Maybe I need a change of careers!!!!!

46 years ago...............................

Today is our anniversary & I  have decided this post will be my version about how we met.......Popster's version would more than likely not be the same but that's how we roll! It was new year's eve 1963....yikes!.......I was a telephone operator in a little town called Huntingdon in England.  It was about 3 miles from Alconbury, an amercan air force base.  All calls went thru our switchboard including ones from the base so consequently we got to know all the GIs.  we would meet them at the Nickel Coin.........pictured here during our coffee..... or should I say tea?....breaks & lunch hours.  Whenever some newbies were transfered in they would be brought to town to meet the local girls. It was not "love at first sight"......I thought he was kinda nerdy & he thought I was a "stuck-up english broad"!  It was a few weeks later when he asked me to go to the movies that I realized he wasn't so "nerdy", so I guess we'll call
