I cannae spel eether! M was a spelling bee champ in 4th & 5th grade!

Actually, I'm pretty good at editting to see if the sentences make sense. I usuually know if something is spelled wrong, I just have to look it up to fix it. Let us know the blog so we can become fans and leave effusive and approbative comments. (Open Original Shared Link)

I was actually class spelling bee champ in 4th grade Didn't make it any higher, though....messed up on the word--"anniversary".

Maybe I should check your spelling (or maybe not - I might not do American so well any more) because I was promoted a grade for being such a good speller - then ended up in high school when I was eleven Stunted my emotional growth

Ahhhh, thanks I had applied for that gluten-free writer's job on about.com last year but was turned down for lack of writing experience. I had to send in a sample and apparently, they didn't like it I used to be a pretty good writer. Won some awards for my short stories and poetry in middle and high school. Maybe if you don't use it you lose it... I'll try it out this weekend and see what he thinks. Jesse had sent him my blog info and he called Jesse back saying he loved it and wanted me to write for him!

Have nae heard from the alleged Angela. I am afeared that I have frightened her with my stalking skills.

I am SO not touching the wee melons.

Today did not start well.

We usually take Tuesdays off, and have a chance to sleep later, and have a lazy start to the day. It started off as usual, but at 9:30 the phone rings. Associate is hearing beeping noises and Jacquie thinks it is the UPS with a power problem. I talk to Cheryl, and try to diagnose power problem over the phone, but get nowhere.

Throw some clothes on and J & I hightail it down to the store. When we get there, it is not the UPS that was beeping, it was the CPU. Cheryl has been trying to work through a "keyboard problem" with tech support. The UPC scanner and the keyboard use the same feed through a Y-cable, and she is trying to get the spare scanner to work with no success. I get on the horn with the support analyst (whom I have known for almost ten years) and we eventually get it sorted out. But it is noon before J and I get back home and can start making breakfast.

This afternoon, we go to a local building supply store where the service is usually good. I need a piece of hardboard cut to size for a display at the store.

Find the required object, and go up to the cashier, with my Visa card ready. ID10T cashier hits the wrong button. She then asks me if I have cash. I say, "I gave you the credit card for a reason," but find a ten dollar bill for the 8.84 purchase. She takes it, but then can not figure out how to give change. Jacquie says, a dollar sixteen. ID10T get out her calculator and still can't figure it out. Finally voids the sale and does it over on Visa.

So then we go the back where the cutting gets done. ID10T there running the saw can not grasp what I want: (1) cut the length to 29" then (2) cut the width to 23-1/4". It takes repeating the request multiple times, pointing to where to cut, and he still almost does it wrong--fortunately I am watching and stop him.

Gonna start on making gluten-free pizza in a few minutes.

Sounds like National IDIOT Day! Did not realize you had this day in Canada. too. Pizza and wine, if you partake, are the official foods for National Idiot Day.

I am SO not touching the wee melons.

....and not touching this wif a ten phoot pole....

ID10T

<snort> I was almost done reading when I phigured out that this was not a Canadian deliniation fer a cashier, but idiot !!

Good thing pizza phixes everything

[celiac-mommy]

Don't forget the ice cream! Lots and lots of ice cream

Phunny, I had a 10 minute conversation wif a patient's wife today about the IDIOT's who cannae count change. Even when the total comes to $8.52 and you give them a 10, they type 10 into the register and the computer reports change as $1.48, they continue to stare into the change drawer trying to figure out how to make $0.48!!!

[celiac-mommy]

Hmmmmm, somehow I missed that..... wee melons and a 10 ft pole.... I'm not touchin either!

[psawyer]

Hmm. My tech support background crept into my earlier post. Most of you figured it out.

ID10T is pronounced eye-dee-ten-tee and is help-desk slang. "It was an eye-dee-ten-tee error" means, well, you can understand without me drawing a picture.

Pizza was excellent.
