Some Days....

Why are all the days before your day off the hardest? Its as if the universe knows to fuck with you. I had a customer come in as I was getting ready to leave. She wanted to talk to a manager about her tablet she just purchased. I talk with her and she explains that we gave her the wrong tablet. She tells me she came in looking for an ipad, but saw this one ($79.00 7" Coby) and decided on that one. Really? We carry a proverbial SHIT TON of tablets, there is definitely a better option. She brings it back today and tells me the salesperson was supposed to give her the larger 8" Coby that was tagged at $149.00 for the cheaper price because that's what he said. I politely explain that she can have the larger tablet but she is going to pay the difference. If the tablet is larger and has a camera on it why would it be the same price? She asks for my corporate number and my name so I give it her. She tells me, as we are looking at the tablets, that I will be getting a call to have her get the other tablet from corporate.  Good luck bitch, its the weekend. No they are not going to tell you you can have it. They will funnel that call right back to me as a matter of fact. Morales of the story: Don't demand something and be rude with the person that can help you, it makes you look suspect. Don't tell me you're looking for an ipad and since we didn't have it you buy an $80 fucking tablet. That makes you look stupid. Hell, the best advice I can give anyone is a cheap tablet is in no way similar to an ipad or high end Android. IT'S $80 DOLLARS.

All about how my life got flipped turned upside down..

Alrighty, here we go. So you're not left in the dark on future posts. Married with Children. It's not just a show. My wife will be the subject of a lot of these posts. She is the Yen to my Yang, peanut butter to my jelly, so on and so on. She is fantastically hot and not just because I'm married to her but because she is. If you saw us, you would be like "What is she doing with him?" I make her laugh if you were wondering. I have two daughters. An 11 year old who is a bigger fan of her mother than me, she is coming around though, even though she won't admit it. Also, I have a  10 year old who is a Daddy's girl, and will fight you if you say otherwise. The older one is tall for her age, she takes after her mother who is taller than me. The younger one is small for her age, I mean tiny. No she is not a little person. They are all affectionately referred to as Wifey, Big One, and Little One, in that order. Take note.  As for me, well, I like making things, drinking the occasional beer, watching movies, hanging out with my friends, whom I actually consider family, etc, more matchmaker type stuff.  I do use foul language, and will be using it on here. I am sorry if that offends you, but I am not asking you to change, don't ask me. Stick with me though, you might miss out. Very soon we will get to the good stuff, every good book has a little background on the sleeve. That's what this is, just a little info for you. Thanks for reading.


- Highly Average Mind

p.s.  The name came from some old cartoons I did in a Far Side style way. The joke was that you needed a Highly Average Mind to understand them.

Introductions

This shall be the start of something great. My life in a nutshell.  A thirty something with a lot on his mind and a need to get it out. I hope to entertain you with stories of happenings and the goings on around me, information on the things I enjoy and hopefully some enlightenment on how things truly are (in my mind anyway). As time progresses I will get better at this and make this blog look awesome, or at least make it awesome with content. We shall see. In order to understand them though you will need a .......Highly Average Mind. See what I did there?
