People who have the worst timing... Everyone knows someone like
that. I know a guy who has the absolute worst timing of anyone I know or will ever know.
It could be the 7th game of the World Series in the late innings, or something that the whole
world will be watching like the jury coming in with the results of the OJ trial, this guy will be oblivious to any breaking
news. He doesn't listen to the radio or watch tv.
If you're in the bathroom and hear the phone ring, and you're hoping for some good news and
get out of the shower soaking wet to answer the phone, and it's him, it get's quite maddening. When you ask him why
he's called, he says "Oh, just checking in". Like it's a job or something, to be busting my soaking wet you know what.
Another time he calls is when I've had a horrible tiring day and just want to go
to sleep, after explaining to him that I'm tired and have to go to bed, he mumbles, "That's OK, I was just checking in".
After I hang up, I'm more exhausted, but now I've lost my sleep momentum, and can't get to sleep.
I now have caller ID, and have lessened this annoying guy by plenty.

People who bump into you in stores without saying excuse me. Guys who go to the bathroom and walk out without washing
their hands. There should be a show like America's Most Wanted that exposes these unclean rats who might shake hands
with someone at some point during the day.

| Hey, can't I get a little privacy when I'm taking my bath? |
| Thanks for calling on me. |

| I will try to make your journey worth the effort. |
Today's ordeal was with the tempermental computer printer combo. I'm
not sure who was the culprit, but it took me an hour to print something that normally would take thirty seconds. The
annoying thing is that when the problem is finally solved, there is no Aha! solution.
The thing finally works, but without explanation. Like an annoying tornado that blows in,
wreaks havoc, and then disappears like it never happened except for the ripped up trees, and thrown about cars and roofs,
and debris all over.
With the computer problem, it usually leaves behind a burning stomach, anger, frustration, and
a loss of sleep. My wise brother in law from the south, who eats cookies like a rat, explains it as they just don't
work right sometimes, for no good reason...I've learned to not take it personal, I just keep trying everything until the storm
clears. That was my ordeal for today.
