That pisses me off also!). When people using the PA Sytems and keep pushing the button after it has started to page. Boy, that's irritating. Are they just trying to bug me? Susan B. Anthony dollars! Need I say more? Who the F--- thought it was a good idea to make a dollar that looked like a quarter? It seems appropriate that a place as screwed up as the Post Office would give them as change in their stamp machines. I'm sure Susan B. Anthony was a nice person that deserves better then to be cursed at in (of all places) the Post Office. I think my medication is wearing off. The voices! Look out!

The GRAND CANYON. THE BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND..." But no luck. Neither of us had used our newish gadgets enough to know how. That really bugs me, not immortalizing that idiot.

Where I used to work, we had an industrial laundry company that provided and maintained the uniforms and clothing for the shop employees. It was the worst laundry company I had ever dealt with, and we all hated them. It would really get the guys worked up when they would have an official tag from the laundry company attached to their pants that would say "use more paper". I never admitted that I was the one who added the tag. Have you ever noticed how loud people talk on their cell phones? I don't think you are important just because you are on a cell phone and I don't want to hear your conversation. I doubt if the person on the other end of the phone really wants to hear from you either. Don't get me started again. I need to clarify the laundry thing.
