Restaurant inspectors
The county Public Health departments in Georgia have the fun-time job of inspecting restaurants for violations. The ensuing reports are sometimes printed in local papers. Sometimes I have to read these local papers and that's when I get my laugh of the day. Only one laugh, though. I'm a totally serious person.
In last week's report from Rockdale and Newton counties, there were these infractions that make eating in...better:
- Stereo system stored on spice rack with food items. Music and cayenne are a deadly - yet sexy - combination.
- More than six flies observed in facility. Wait, they counted? They really counted!
- Uncovered employee drink observed by silverware. The forks have eyes in Georgia. The spoons see all.
This is a weird state I live in.

The Internet can be nice sometimes
This week has been a great affirmation of the business side of the Internet for me. I've bought many items online from Ruskies to Pennsylvanians (ack) to Canadians (ack ack) and I've never questioned the validity of any transaction. That may be naive of me, but whatever. Except for one eBay item (which I got my money back), I've gotten everything I've paid for.
So to be honest, when I say "affirmation," I really mean I experienced some outstanding customer service. That is rarer than rare these days. And I got it 3 times this week! See:
- I spoke to Customer Service at Paypal and got the resolution I needed within 5 minutes. And the rep was polite!
- I've been ChaCha-ing, not really 100% sure that I was going to get paid. But my earnings really showed up in bank account when it was supposed to. Amazing!
- And the best of show this week goes to Zappos. I bought shoes yesterday morning and I'm wearing them right now. I'm not sure if I'm being clear enough. RIGHT NOW I'm wearing shoes I bought online 28 hours ago. I did not pay for shipping. It was free. I literally have my Mephistos on my stinky feet right NOW. This boggles my Friday-addled brain.
