I had a very irritating experience earlier. I needed to place an order with an online retailer who I’ve used for many years. The first thing I noticed is they have a new website. The home page is all advertising for various products they sell. No place to log in. I click on something and get a page that says, “Hello, undisclosed. Welcome to your account.” NOWHERE can I find a place to login or create a new account. And, of course, they don’t have any of my account data, such as favorites. I try to call customer service. Long wait. I manage to hack into it and create a new password. Password rules have changed. I input my order. But it tells me it can’t place my order. I call CS again. She’s able to place it, but is snippy and says that the new website was just released last week, as if It’s not supposed to work right at first.

Arrrrggghhhhhh!!!!

And silly me, expecting her to be bright, knowledgeable, and courteous. When will I ever learn?

I was never a hacker. I had a coworker at HP who had a mischievous streak and would tell me how much our various managers made and who got a really big raise. But today’s software is often so poor, so full of bugs that I now resort to it just to get the job done.

I will give Amazon credit here, though. I seldom find bugs there and they are fixed quickly. Thank you, Amazon!

PBS has brought back an old favorite of mine, the Dutch series Lord and Master. Don’t know why they named it that, but it’s a really fun show, a throwback to 1960s caper films. It’s listed under Walter Presents.

I am indulging in a little ChocZero. At Halloween they have little chocolates in the shape of pumpkins. They are sooo cute!

I just got their HALLOWEEN HOUSE PECAN CLUSTER TIN and they are good! ;D

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Are you a fan of any particular professional sport - do you watch any of the 'games' on television?

Not really. In days of old, wrestling was a great entertainment but not really a sport. Hate football, don't care about baseball, loathe hockey - if figure skating is a sport, I do enjoy that occasionally.

Guess I'll shower and get ready in about twenty minutes, then relax until I have to leave around 6:10.

Job vibes for DR Rodz!

Halloween seems like an excellent time to obtain a mortuary writing job. Do they allow a little humor? Black humor.

If service has been good in the past you should expect the same.

Renee but you called her Mouse.  I don't think you remember her.  Short, super cute, quiet and shy.
