Some people are asshats

Some people are seriously just asshats

So it started with some jackass hacking our website. Then we go to lunch and the waitress is an idiot - she refused to put our tickets on separate tabs and then got mad when we wanted it all split up at the end. She said, "I told you that it was all going to be on one ticket" and we told her "and we told you that we were paying seperate" and she was pissed about it and said it was against their policy to do seperate checks for more than 8 people - what the fuck - one person is supposed to pay it all and collect from everyone else? What about the people paying with credit cards or debit cards? She was just stupid.
So then there are these people on the Enid news message forum that said that moms that work have their priorities messed up because they let someone else raise their children and if they really cared about their kids, they would find a way to stay home - and the scary thing is these are WOMEN saying it. WTF??? Are you serious? Yeah - my priorities are pretty fucked up I guess - that electricty and food we could do without. And the running water - what a waste, we could get by without that, too, I guess. My fancy car? You mean the 12 year old one with the knobs missing - that one? Yeah - I'm way overboard on that, too. Fucking stupid people make me want to poke my eyes out. I have to work - I stayed home for a year and it was HARD and I had to go back to work and luckily I have a job that pays well and I like. Of course I would rather be home, but that is not feasible for my family. I'm sure there are things I could cut back on, but if I were staying home, there would barely be enough to eat on and pay the bills, let alone put gas in the cars. Some people are seriously asshats.

a little bit of heaven. or not.

So quite some time ago I became very disenchanted with Sonic when they quit carrying Frito Chili Pie. But I guess they have these Frito Chili Cheese WRAPS. I have been scared to try one - who the hell puts fritos and chili in a tortilla, anyway?? So last night I get one and it's really pretty good. It's kind of retarded though because you can't just order Frito Chili Pie, they'll tell you they don't have that. But if you order the Frito Chili Cheese WRAP, it's the same thing, only in a tortilla. I wonder if they would let me order a Frito Chili Cheese Wrap without the tortilla - then what would they do? I went on about my business of going to Wal-Hell and all that before going home and I got bed around 11:30 or so only to wake up at 1:00 with horrid stomach pains and feeling like I was going to throw up. I got up for a while and never got sick so I finally went back to bed and felt fine this morning, but damn, that sucked. I was thinking how happy I was to have some semblance of the chili pie back in my life only to get screwed by the very thing I love...
However, I took my kids to Pak A Sak the other day and two of them got Frito Chili Pie - which we were not aware they had - and they said it was way better than Sonic's anyway. I told you Pak A Sak kicked ass.
And the other thing I don't get - why would a place get rid of Frito Chili Pie but still have the audacity to carry something freakin' called Pickle-O's? What the fuck is a PICKLE-O? Fried pickels? EWWWW. Damn Sonic.

That hot salty taste...

There's a place in my heart, a place of legends and childhood memories, comforting smells, a place that makes me happy. Pak A Sak.
Is there a place you just love to eat but never get to go there or you like to savor it just for youreself? Any time I am eating by myself, I like to go to Pak A Sak. I did that today and as I sat there in the quiet solitude of my car, I was thinking, "You know, this is one of my all time favorite things to do - eat at Pak A Sak by myself." The only thing that really makes it awesome is when it's nice outside (not freakin' hot like today) and you can go over a block to Government Springs Park and eat there. Pak A Sak is one of those places you can smell like a block away and when you drive by, it's like a magic potion luring you to stop and partake.
I remember when I was younger I would ride my bike all over the place and I loved to go to the library, so in the summer, I would get a couple of bucks from my parents and head toward downtown. I lived on the eastern edge of town, so it was quite a ride. I'd go have lunch for $2 at Pak A Sak (the burgers were 2 for a dollar back then) and then I'd go spend the afternoon at the library. That was a perfect day back then, maybe that's why I still get a warm fuzzy feeling, I don't know. But it's definitley one of my favorite things to do still, but I don't get to very often. And lunch is way more than $2 now. But I did win a drawing one day where I got 7 burgers for a dollar, so I took a couple of friends and we sat outside at the picnic table. Pak A Sak is an Enid institution and I will be sad if it ever goes away - I think it's been here since like 1948 or something. If you ever get to visit Enid, or you come home to visit, or you live here and you haven't been in a long time, go to Pak A Sak and get a bag of happiness.

Law & Disorder

I have said a million times that we need to have a reality show called "Law & Disorder" where they hang out in the law office all day and show all the funny stuff that happens here. Our office is like Boston Legal - really. This guy sent me a script to read about a law office and seriously, the stuff that goes on here is way funnier - that whole truth is stranger than fiction thing. We have at least one TV worthy moment a day and we damn sure have great characters. I dig my job. Here's a funny scene:

Attorney: I'm from the law office, I'm supposed to get the phone from you.
Man: OK
Attorney: So, how's it goin'?
Man: I think all attorneys are pieces of shit.
Attorney: Really? OK...
Man: Yeah, I think you're all pieces of shit.
Attorney: OK
Man: And you can tell my wife she's a bitch whore.
Attorney: Um... OK
Man: Yeah. She's a bitch whore and you can all kiss my ass.
Attorney: Can I just have the phone?
