MISANTHROPE

I wonder how many of us don't know the meaning of that word!  It popped up on a show I was watching and decided to look it up.  And I discovered that the older I get the more I become a misanthropist!  It means a very strong dislike of the human race.  Hahaha!!! And I have been hearing this sentiment more and more often from more and more people at a much younger demographic than I would have expected.  Kind of funny I think. Or maybe sad, I am not sure.

Its been a quiet week.  I have been taking Wrangler out for walks, not my fave past time.  He pulls and it hurts my back.  But he is getting better.

I have been to the mall.  Yes, me, to the mall.  I have been going through angst trying to buy a charge cord for my lappy.  I walked into the Source, into an all male, cocky male, salesforce.  You know the type...they know everything techy wise and they see me, an old fat white haired lady who doesn't know anything.  Dipshits!

So I tell them what I am wanting.  I had already been to Best Buy and they had sold the last one ten minutes before or something annoying like that.

So I look dude in the eye and tell him I need a USB c end to a USB c at the other end.  "are you sure?' he asks.  "Yes" I say.  And I tell him its for a macbook pro.  'Are you sure its not to a USB- A end?'  'NO!!' I say. ' There is no such thing as an ordinary USB anything on Macbook anythings."  Anyway he finds it and like an ass I don't even look, I trust macho dude to know what he is doing.  I pay 35 bucks for it.  I had already paid 35 for the white boxy thing thats on mac chargers.  It just didn't come with the cord.  Like who knew?

Bring it home, rip open the box, and it has a flipping USB end on it.  JEEEEEEEEEZUS!!!!!  Idiot!  Dumbass! Macho Goon.  I'da gone right back but it was after closing time.

So next day I go right back and slap it down on the counter and expressed my pissed offedness to him and say that I need a USB C TO USB C...NOT A USB ON ONE END.  This was a different guy.  Oh he says, we don't sell those.  Oh for cripes sakes!!!

I went home and warmed up old Betsy, went to Amazon, found exactly what I needed.  And get this.  The cord, ten feet, and brick (the white square thingy) both were 35 bucks total.  Thirty   Five   Bucks.  Thirty five bucks cheaper than buying stuff here in town.  Sigh.  I should have known.

 I also now have a giant 8quart instant pot sitting on the floor behind me still in the box. Its been there for a week now.  I won't lie...I am intimidated.  I went out and bought all the stuff to make pea soup and beef barley soup.  I will freeze it all and take it to Port Alberni.  But I need to do it and stop letting that thing scare me.  At least before the meat goes rotten.

So that was my exciting week.  Sorry to be so boring.  Oh I did do Kiwanis stuff too.  I have become the head of the Adopt-A-Grad committee. We had a meeting tonight and it was a lot of fun.  It was just four of us women and the convo got pretty, well lets say, salty!  haha!  We had fun plus we got a lot done.

Okay gotta bounce.  TTYL

Shovel List:  Macho dudes that think they know everything.  Super annoying.
