Narcissism, Salads and Coins (the trifecta)

Me Narcissistically mowing the lawn
I am fairly certain that I am a narcissist. The new Dirty Laundry Podcast is up and I am listening it while I write this. I just got done mowing the lawn and I listened to it while I mowed the lawn. I am the guy they wrote that saying "you just talk because you like the sound of your own voice!" I really don't like the sound of my own voice, though I have gotten used to hearing it, but I really do like the podcast. I think I like to make sure it sounds good - I like to get better by hearing what we do wrong.

It is nice that we have the studio two stories below where it used to be. Today is the first day where I am starting to think about the summer heat (today is perfect) and it is a lot cooler down hear. The last couple of days it was actually chilly but as it gets warmer outside I thinks we are going to really like the temperature here. The upstairs studio was always hot and when we turned the fans on or opened the windows there were always distracting noises. I think the current show does seem to have better sound.

I am sorry that I haven't blogged since Thursday (I guess that is only missing Friday and Monday) but I have been really tired lately. I cannot get used to having a different schedule than most of the rest of the world. It wouldn't be so bad if I weren't a person who is always worried about other people's happiness more than my own. The weird part of it is that I am also a selfish person which is why I have probably become somewhat of a curmudgeon over the last decade or so; I have inner turmoil trying to make everybody, including myself, happy and that is just impossible but I am too stupid to stop trying. I have gotten a little more light-hearted  over the past couple of years as the detox from a job that I hated for the previous two decades. It wasn't the job so much rather the buttholes that I worked for - I cannot believe I let idiots change who I wanted to be - I like myself more now even though I am sleepy. (From Grumpy to Sleepy)

I heard a story about a guy who was aggravated with the service he was getting from his accountant and did something I have threatened to do many times but I am too lazy to carry it out. This is not the first time that my laziness has saved my bacon. He was so angry that he paid his $1,283 bill by dropping five crates of coins on the accountants lawn. The bean-counter decided that he didn't want to be a coin-counter so he sued the former client for interest and storage fees for the coins and he was awarded the interest but not the storage fees (talk about Storage Wars). So, the accountant ended up making another $500ish for the stunt by his former client. Who says laziness doesn't pay? I would have done it one step further - I would have done it in all foreign coins!

Cha Cha is almost home so I ave to wrap this up because we are gonna go get salad bar at Ruby Tuesday. The last couple of times I was at Ruby Tuesday the salad bar sucked though it had always been one of the best ones around. Cha Cha heard a commercial that they have a new salad bar and menu so we are gonna give it a try. I will let you know how it is but I am not optimistic. Maybe I should get a bunch of rolls of pennies in case it does suck and I will pay in pennies. Thanks for being here today and I will blog again tomorrow since I am not working today or tomorrow. Have a great night and make sure to listen to the podcast. Incidentally, we are STILL looking for our 100th Facebook "liker" before they go public. TTTT...MITM (out to salad-up!) TA
