Hey Gabz!
You’re not late as far as I’m concerned! I completely lost track of what day it was! Just happened to check my pings!
Re: the week from Hades—ME TOO! Stupid questions don’t bother me so much—it’s just that there are so MANY of them! LOL
IE:
Caller—I bought this spray from you last year. Is it time to use it?
Me—What spray?
That High yield one.
Oookkkaayy. I’ve got ten people in line at the cash register, a credit card in my hand, which only works on the same phone line that the caller is currently on. Ma’am, what spray?
The High yield one.
Deep breath. Another deep breath. Ma’am, I’m looking at about 500 different sprays right now. What’s it for?
Plants.
Okay. What are you trying to do with your spray?
Spray my plants.
Sigh to myself. Spray your plants for what? Are you trying to kill the plants or kill something that’s on them?
Kill bugs.
Now we’re getting somewhere—I think! What kind of bugs?
I don’t know. Those ones on the leaves.
Repeating to myself—Do not lose your temper! What kind of plants?
I don’t know. The ones with green leaves.
Tell me what kind of spray it is so I can help you better.
I told you—High yield.
Ma’am, what does it say on the label? What’s the chemical name?
High yield.
I finally just told her yes! I have no idea whether she was spraying insecticidal soap or roundup!
EGADS!!!!!!!
You’re a better woman than I am.
My kid is (hopefully by now) up in New Jersey for a Girl Scout encampment on the Battleship new Jersey. I’m having a major MOM moment over it because while it is not the first time she’s been away overnight, it is the first time for an overnight with people she has never done an overnight with.
