My daughter has been complaining of a sore throat and a headache for over 2 weeks now, but no fever. So I finally took her to her PCP doc and she seems to think that it is allergies, ugh…..I have made an appointment with an allergist, but in the mean time her PCP has given us a prescription for some allergy medicine for her to take until we get the full scoop from the specialist. This is weird because I don’t know anyone on either side of the family that suffers from allergies, so go figure my kid would start it off!

It’s been a few years since I’ve been to Diamond Jacks, which is one of the best clubs around these parts. So when I was asked if I wanted to come along next weekend with several of my “regulars” from work I jumped at the chance, especially since I won’t have to pay a dime for anything all night long, all I have to do is make sure I am not put on the schedule that night. It will be nice to be on the other side of a bar for a night. This place is always jam packed on the weekends so they have to use crowd control techniques which would be useless at a bar such as the one that I’ve been bar keeping at for the past 4 years. It is always interesting to see the differences at other places and compare with what I am used to at work.

Some times I find something that gives me an idea that I can bring back to my manager with and some times he even takes the time to listen to me and once or twice he let me run with. Not that we would ever have the need for barricades as they need to use at larger clubs or the nice looking stanchions that are strategically placed around with the expensive looking velvet ropes that are used as well. Although it would be nice to have the need for something like that if we could ever fill the place up the way it used to in years gone by. I’ve been told that this place used to be quite a “Hot Spot” back in the 80′s, they still have the disco ball up in the ceiling. I don’t think it works anymore though, although every now some one will threaten to go up there and see what it takes to get it running again, but it never happens.

Wow, did I get off track here folks. Anyway, it sounds like it will be a fun evening. My cell phone takes pictures, I’ll make sure to take some pics through out the night. If any come out good I’ll even consider posting one or two here, something I don’t normally do, but then I normally don’t get all dolled up to go out on the town either!

I stopped and went through the drive through at Burger King on the way home today and saw that they have a new mini burger on their menu, $2.99 for 4 of them, which sounded like a good deal so I ordered four of them. I got myself back on the road and in the rush hour traffic when I finally pulled them out of the bag to munch on during my drive home. Boy oh boy was I disappointed. Besides that the rolls were hard as rock and burned, the burgers were so very tiny and were basically tasteless, bummer. I didn’t want to have to turn around and go back, so when I got home I dug out the receipt and found the phone number and tried to call as to speak with the manager about my nasty food, but I kept getting a busy signal (something that we don’t hear very often these days, especially on business phone) and when it wasn’t beeping that irritating busy signal beep I would get the even more irritating sound of a fax machine. So I gave up and will try and call tomorrow. If I still can’t get through I’ll keep the receipt in my wallet and stop by the next time I’m in that part of town.

I work hard for my money and I don’t like getting ripped off. In the past when I have issues with fast food items I give them a quick call, using my best manners mind you, and they have no problem replacing the food that I haven’t been happy with. Some times they have even replaced the entire order, for my time and trouble. I never start out by being nasty and rude, that will get you no where quick, you do get more bees with honey, but if that doesn’t work then it is time to break out the vinegar!

Not only will I let them know about the old and burned buns on the tasteless meat patty but I’ll let them know about the phone issues as well, what a pain…….

My sister was so right this time. As I posted some time ago that I was having issues finding clothes that would keep me cool during these extreme weather conditions this summer and my big sis sent me the link to http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs and urged me to order some of the medical scrubs and uniforms that they have for sale there. As she said you don’t have to be in the medical field to wear these types of clothing, which is a good point. And if someone were to ask me about my “profession” while wearing these clothes I could either be truthful and tell them the reason that I’m wearing them or depending on my mood, I could play along and come up with some crazy stories that could possibly shock them and the lord knows I love to shock people so this could be fun!

So I took her advice and ordered some of ones that I thought I could pull off wearing and they came pretty quickly I’m happy to say. And today was the perfect day (94% in the shade) to try one out and I am pleased as punch as to way they look and felt while running my errands around town. I was all ready and prepared with a wacky story to tell someone if they asked and of course no one did. But I did feel comfortable in them and I didn’t get home soaking wet as I usually have been for the past couple of months. So I’d like to pass along the web site of blueskyscrubs.com to my readers in case they don’t have a sister to get the info from!

I’m so glad that The Animal Planet cable channel as decided to bring back my all time current favorite TV show “Pit Boss” I was afraid that once again a TV show that I enjoy would end up being dropped, since that always (and I mean always) seems to happen to me. From the first day I saw the commercials advertising this up and coming TV show up until the last episode of the last season I have been hooked, hook – line- and sinker as they say.

I have a lot of respect for Shorty and his crew for all that they do for the Pit Bull breed and for what they are doing for the Little People in the world, both are widely misunderstood and this is bringing attention to both worlds.
