Yup! No "Over the Hill" parties for me! 
But I start Social Security in July and you don't!! Nyah, nyah!!
Anyway, emotionally, I'm about 25.

So I was doing a restroom check for another shop and it was truly gross. I pulled my spiral notepad out of my pocket to note the deficiencies and the card dropped out of the notepad onto the floor. I used several layers of paper towel to pick it up and deposit it directly in the trash because with THAT bathroom you would not have wanted me to dry it out and send it to you . . .
Hey, what can I say? Creative juices today seem to be staying at floor level
But I suspect you have gotten to evaluate that restroom as well . . .

I was bored tonight and just surfing around looking for something to occupy my time. What a hoot! This is the most fun I've had in a while, just sitting here laughing out loud.
barbage, had any interesting stories youself? I'm a dry well and Flash has resorted to bathroom humor. LOL!!!
Dear Scheduler,
I seem to be missing the business card for Hearth and Home Bank. I met with Tiffany today and opened the new account as required. She neatly put all the paperwork for me in a folder and took a card from her desk which she put in the little slots in the folder for that purpose. Unfortunately that card seems to be in error. It is for the Sensations Adult Novelties Company down the street. Would you like for me to submit this card or do I need to make a return visit for a Hearth and Home card?

Oh, Flash! You keep out doing yourself! Maybe you've missed your calling and you should have been a comedy writer or a comedian.
Sitting here with the binoculars I can see the business card. It is up there. See the 4th big branch up on the left side of the oak? Follow it out about 2/3 of the way from the trunk and there is a mass of leaves. In that mass of leaves you will also see the sticks and grasses of the bird's nest. Just on the left side of the nest you see that white thing? That is my business card. It was such a pretty day I decided to work in the backyard on the laptop putting in my reports. I went inside for a fresh cup of coffee and from the kitchen window I saw the bird snatch the card off the table and fly away with it. If you look carefully you will also see a green cord. That is one of the shoestrings from my green sneakers that I had washed and put out on the line to dry.
That's not your business card. That's half a sheet of bathroom tissue snatched from a garbage bag. And you made up the part about the shoelace. No one would wear green sneakers, except maybe Florida alligators.
Nah... That's an MSing undercover operative checking the validity of the card to see if they need to do a follow-up on the follow-up that followedd the follow-up... The green shoelace was taken just to throw you off the trail.
You're getting the hang of things. Now try making up a tall tale about why you missed a shop.
I want to know who checks the intelligence and writing skills of report reviewers? Do shopping companies get shopped?

Hah! I was watching the operative hoping to catch it laying an egg!
I haven't missed a shop but was late logging in the online information, though. A racoon gnawed on a power line at the substation and it knocked out the power about the time I got home and tried to log on. Knowing that it had to be done immediately I got back in the car and headed to my friends home. He had just had a heart attack as I got there so I had to wait for the ambulance. Traffic was so bad that they let me out of the ambulance to help direct traffic. When I finally talked enough drivers into getting out of the way, the ambulance, in a hurry, just left. I had to borrow a cell phone, I had left mine in my car, wait for another friend to pick me up and ended up directing all the traffic back the other way so that she could get through. Then she misjudjed a turn and we ended up in an accident and by that time, I'd missed my deadline.
If shopping companies don't get shopped, they should, don't 'ya think???

That's wonderful! See what happens if you hang around with us? Flash will be so proud of you!

We are definitely on a roll here! What would the criteria be for an MSP shop? Courtesy? Speed of service? Friendliness of associates? Speed of processing your payment? I could mention a few more but am not fond of shooting myself in the foot
And yes, I do own green sneakers--they show less grass stains. But of late they have been my mucking shoes for things like my tromp into the livestock pond a couple of days ago to haul out and repot the water lilies. To my chagrin there is not much rhizome left to the plants because apparently the cows decided to munch the leaves.

We have a new topic.
If I Could Shop the MSP's...
Watch this spot; I'll tell you tomorrow what I did.

I had pulled into the garage after my shop and was headed into the house, having hit the button to close the garage door. There was a funny sound as the garage door hit the bottom and when I went to look I noted the black snake who patrols the front hedges for insects had been snagged by the door. I picked up the remote from the car, grabbed the snake behind the head and opened the door, intending to return him to his realm of the hedge when I noticed that the garage door had left him with a kink. Taking him over to the workbench, I got his aft section as straight as possible and wrapped it snugly but not too tight in the business card held in place with a couple of small strips of electrical tape before returning him to the hedge. I feel sure he will shuck out of his snake splint in a few days, so I'll be watching the hedges to recover the business card and will be pleased to report the shop when the card becomes available.
Returning home from a shop, I pulled into the garage only to find that one of our cats had been injured. I quickly loaded him into a carrier and headed for the vets office. I asked for assistance to bring him into the office because he's such a heavy cat. The tech accidentally grabbed a few papers with the carrier and the infamous card was in the bunch. Inside, there was pandemonium with so many people waiting for their pets to be seen.
They quickly put my cat in a room, minus the papers. After a quick checkup I was told that the cat would be fine. I left to bring him home and get him settled.
A little while later, the vet's office called to tell me there were some papers belonging to me at the office. When I got there, I discovered that someone had used the papers and card as litter paper for their dog who was suffering from severe diarrhea. I could not read most of the notes from the shop and the card was unreadable.
I called the MSP scheduler who said that without the original papers being sent overnight, I would not be paid, so I sent them!

I just don't know what came over me on that shop! I met with David and he was a gorgeous hunk. I am now signed up for all three of the credit cards they were offering, a home refinance, a new car loan and I'm thinking about an airplane loan. He was just so nice. There was some other stuff I think I signed up for but I don't remember quite what all it was. He has the most gorgeous eyes and a wonderful smile of perfect teeth. I had a whole lot of stuff described to be, but forgot to turn on my DVR so I can't tell you what it all was. This guy has a bod to kill for and a beautiful head of raven hair. I can tell you that I waited only one minute and thirty-six seconds to be seen. Do you think 60 is too old to start a family? My total time in the shop was fifty-eight minutes. Oh, I left with a lot of brochures but no business card. Will these help?
Yes, it's too late to start a family, goose. You'll have to adopt.
Surprised you remembered to get the brochures. What were you two doing for the 58 minutes?
LaGata--this is true. I did a grocery yesterday, and the seafood man knew the diff between farm-raised and wild salmon. I propositioned him on the spot. The guidelines didn't say what question to ask. He was handsome, no name tag, but a gold earring, and he also knew where the coffee bar was!

Sneakers, you were the inspiration for my banker with your seafood guy

sneakers,
Of course he'd jump at the offer, would he? The MS companies think we'd do the list for that pay, wouldn't they??? LOL! A hunk with a gold earring that knows the difference between farm raised and wild salmon has to be worth a bonus! Double the pay!!!
I'm surprised that nobody commented on the papers and card I sent to qualify for my pay on the job that almost got waylaid at the vets office... Are we not reading all the details in the project guidelines??? Or were they just too objectionable? LOL...

It was hysterical. I've been working long hours at my primary job, even all day Sun, and I'm in a daze. Had to cancel a few shops because my painting assistant didn't show Sunday, setting me back a few days. He said he had had another errand. Had no idea why I was furious. Long story Another errand instead of working? Goodbye.
So that's why I didn't guffaw publicly. I've been physically drained for 3 days.

AWww.... sneakers. Maybe that's why I don't have a primary job. Is that the kind you work till you graduate to a real job??? I don't have one of those either...
But you have lots of little jobs, making life more interesting.
