The Lady In The Window & My First Blog Post.

hello:

The other day I was at school (Richland College), trying to do a quick transaction. The woman helping me was maybe in her 40s, with large glasses. This was a pretty quick, straightforward thing I had to do.

The area where she works is shielded by glass. So she was shielded by glass. I assume bulletproof. I always feel weird talking to people for long periods THROUGH GLASS.
In the middle of the transaction, she said,

"Are you ok?"
Me: "Yes."
"You seem like you're mad. At me."
Huh???

When she said this, the glass made her look amorphous. There is no good ending to this, except to say, it was very odd.

moving on...
I wrote about the Baptist Generals recently. I am re-reminding you, and also reminding you that they are from Denton, Texas. This would be the "hallowed music town" of Denton Texas.

Here is a link to my first blog post.
I mentioned that the blog was started in June 2007. It was actually started in July. The first blog post is from July 26, 2007. Eerie.

THE END.
Thanks,

"Our Technicians Pay Taxes Just like You Do." And, Everything Is Like A Story Problem.

Hello and good evening:

Recently I received a mailer from the nail salon Polished.
In the mailer, it states: "Our technicians pay taxes just like you do."
Also, I checked out their web site.
One comment states that their front-of-house staff will be "exclusively speaking English," while another statement says that employees "speak only English in client areas."
I am all for participating in the American economy. However, this sounds like anti-immigrant spouting to me. Are Asian workers who don't speak English not "polished" enough for Polished?
I will continue to go to another salon, where 'Betty,' (this is not her real name), who probably does not pay taxes, will hopefully provide her services.

Also, I was at Chick-Fil-A recently. I requested a small drink, but I really meant medium. When I told the employee this, she gave me the larger drink. I had already paid, so I asked her how much more it was for the medium drink.
It became awkward. She acted like it was no problem to give me the larger drink, and pretended to be surprised that I even asked. Having just come from a physics test (this was like a story problem--isn't everything?) I told her, "You guys are losing money. But if you say it's okay, then that's fine."
Not that it's a bad thing for Chick-Fil-A to lose money right now.

I bought a Jewel CD. It was $5 at Wal-Mart. I was surprised to see it in this bin. But, I was of course glad to get the bargain.

Goodbye.
