March 23rd and 24, 2011 - 103rd and 104th days

OK, Wed and Thursday were good days.    I tried to be nice to all customers, rather than just trying to not be mean.  One of my customers called in and said, "Hey, it sounds like you're getting over your cold".  I said, "I don't have a cold, this is the way I talk".  She said, "No way?!"  I said, "Yes way,  I'm kind of like a cross between Mikey Mouse and a Rock Star!"  She laughed hysterically and told me I had totally made her day.  I was happy that my self deprecation could amuse someone so.   She called back later in the day and really didn't have anything to talk about.  She said she just wanted to hear me, so I could make her happy.    I think maybe I have created a "Happy Stalker".  A Happy Stalker is someone who stalks you and feeds off your enthusiasm so they can be happy too.  So, I guess I'll except my role like a true Mouseketeer.

Thursday started off great!  I went into Dr. Anderson's office and he gave me a Kenalog shot.  I have such bad allergies that nothing helps.  He told me the shot should help immediately.  And WOW, it did!  It's never fun to get a shot in the butt, and have to wear a butt band-aid,  but anybody who has bad allergies will attest, the only thing worse than bad allergies is having your head chopped off with a dull blade.  No, I take that back, sometimes I would prefer to have my head chopped off with a dull blade!

Then, it was soccer time!  Remember, my proclivity to yell inwardly at soccer refs?   Well, I was really tested last night!  The score was 0-0, and the opposing team had a corner kick.   Right when the ball was kicked, the ref blew the whistle and called our guy for a foul.  No one knew what it was for.  Apparently it was because we were jocking for position!  Anyway, that gave them a free kick 5 yards away and they ended up winning 1-0!  I started to say, "Ref, you're a ..."  Then I stopped myself and said, "You're a, you're a...bad ref!"  I guess that's the Mormon way of cussing at the ref.  I'm sure he was quaking in his boots! 

Things I learned the last 2 days, 1st, If you sound like a Mickey Mouse rockstar, you may as well use it to make other's happy!  2nd, Kenalog shots are better than...Well, better than anything I can mention in a blog, let's just say that!   3rd, Soccer refs can be more nerve racking then trying to thread a sewing needle when you have 20/200 vision!
