A lady just asked me if I was

Canadian. I gave her a funny look and said "no." She said my accent sounded Canadian. I guess I would rather have a Canadian accent than a South-Eastern Ohioan accent. Not that there is anything wrong with being from South-Eastern Ohio but I really don't care for the stereotypical accent of this region.

Someone told me today to

"never keep live chickens in your house." I don't, I keep them dead in a freezer in my apartment. I didn't tell them that.

1000 pots is a lot

of pots. I would know, I had to pack them. My back hurts.

You hear the best quotes at concerts.

I went to a blues concert on Sunday with my friend and it got rained out. While we were huddled for shelter near the bathrooms, we overheard some interesting comments. Here they are in no particular order: 1. "I would kill someone for $40.00." 2. F$%! pneumonia, I just wanna rock!" 3. "What is the equity of my ticket?" 4. "Is the bassist a chick or a dude?" (we are still not sure which it was). There were more but I probably shouldn't put them on here.

I finally got tired of my cell carrier

yesterday (fewest dropped calls my butt) and decided to switch to a different one. So I go to the little kiosk in the mall and asked how I would port over my number and which phones were free. The guy said "we don't have any free phones right now but this one is featured." He showed me kind of a big ugly phone that was $89.99. He told me about all the junk it had with it in a bundle like navigation, tv, voice calling, a bluetooth headset, and a bunch of other junk I didn't really care about. The next cheapest phone was around $100 so I was looking at that and it had the same junk on it too. I was going to go ahead and get the big ugly phone but the guy needed my current account number to port my number. I didn't have it on me so I told him I would come back tomorrow. So I went home and got on the computer to the cell carrier's website and found they had 10 free phones, including the same big ugly one kiosk guy had for 89.99! Not only that, but they had some other really cool ones for $20.00 and everything has free overnight shipping. I looked into it and sure enough, I could port my number, get a phone, and sign up for service all online. So I did it and my phone will be delivered tomorrow. I paid $20.00 total out of pocket for the same phone kiosk guy wanted $120 for. The kiosk even said "corprate store" on it so it was a legitimate store. So, if you are ever considering switching to a company that rhymes with "smerizon" DO NOT GO TO A KIOSK IN A MALL FOR ANYTHING! Just do it online. If you don't have a computer come talk to me and I will do it for you. I think I might hang out around the kiosk for a while sometime and tell people about the free phones online so no one else can get screwed by kiosk guy. Maybe I'll even print out some signs and stick them on the kiosk when the guy isn't looking.

Someone asked me today if

I was knocked up. I said "not right now." I think he was referring to the movie I placed on the counter earlier but it was still funny. Fortunately, this was the first time I've been asked that.

Some days I wonder what

it would be like if Alexander Graham Bell didn't invent the telephone. Quieter, probably.

If you stop by and are feeling lucky

you might be able to get a post dedicated to you. Especially if you drive all the way from Tennessee and read this blog daily. So lady from Tennessee that reads this blog daily, this one is for you. I would have put your name on here but I came in late and only got to wave but I think you still know who you are. If you don't know who you are just assume it is you so you can feel special too. I know, that last part made no sense.

I have seen some pretty messed up

sculptures lately and I think that sculptors have it made. They can make some ugly, crazy, giant thing and sell it to a college as art and they buy it. The thing usually makes no sense  and has no purpose other than to confuse and frustrate onlookers for not "getting it." I should have been a sculptor.

I told a lady today that I would

give her a dollar to drink out of a fountain we have on display. She said to give her five and then she would think about it. I would have done it for a dollar. I once ate my toenail clippings for a dollar. Sorry you had to read that.

I met Rod Stewart yesterday.

He wasn't "the" Rod Stewart but his name was Rod Stewart. Kind of like Michael Bolton from Office Space.  Cool guy. 

I would not recommend grinding

coffee beans with a mortar & pestle. It hurts your hands, takes forever, is very messy, and your espresso tastes bad. You should really just buy a coffee grinder to keep at your house instead of taking yours to work where everyone uses it and you can't take it home. Especially if it grinds coffee really well and you would occasionally like to use it at home where you have some awesome espresso beans you ordered off the internet. I guess this is just a reminder to myself. Good advise though.  

I have to go to a recital on Saturday

and my computer just reminded me. Only when the reminder popped up I misread it and forgot the "i." Ewwww.

I blew across some jugs

today for a customer on the phone. I must say that is a Zanesville Pottery first. Really though, you have to make sure a jug is in tune before you buy it right? That probably made absolutely no sense.

A lady asked me if I worked here today,

right after I got done talking on the company phone. I said "no, I just answer phones and stand around." I really don't think she thought it was funny. I did.

I am not happy with weather people

right now. I went camping and the weather said 20% chance of rain. It stormed all night and the tent leaked, so I got damp. I guess that is what I get for buying a cheap tent at K-mart and thinking it wouldn't rain.
