Today my teen coworker commented how he didn't wear gloves while he worked outside in freezing weather. He said his hands froze to a steering wheel once. He could have asked to borrow gloves from someone working inside, except mine because I prefer not to have mine stretched out. I have tiny hands compared to a man's. He said his private parts were frozen as he clocked out. I replied, Thank you for sharing that us. My coworker asked if he was aware that he works outside, in winter. Yeah, he is aware now. She told him to get thick socks and long underwear. Soon the guys will be wearing jumpsuits and facial coverings resembling a hockey mask. When it really gets cold they stop washing the cars because the doors freeze shut and just vacuum the inside. This often upsets people not understanding water freezes in cold weather.
Today we had a customer wearing shorts and a weird looking shirt. My coworker joked how the cold must have hit him getting off the plane.
Then we had another customer complain about the windshield wipers not wiping off the washer fluid properly. Um, because the washer fluid freezes when it hits the glass is why they don't wipe properly. He even yelled at my coworker when she tried to explain winter in this part of the world. He screeched, How was I suppose to know that? Aren't people from warm climates so entertaining?
I read the paper today. Everyone has an opinion on the Bush speech to graduating naval cadets. I would like to know what drug is Bush smoking, I want some. I caught a few seconds of his speech last night and changed the channel after hearing his delusions of staying until we have victory. I thought we already had victory when Saddam was ousted. Did he mean victory over the terrorists? I think it is a fat chance in hell of that happening. Though, I do have to ask who exactly our enemy is now?
I read one opinion of a woman 1 year older than me comparing Iraq to the Holocaust asking what would have happened if would not have gotten involved. Excuse me? I would like to know what history book she read. We did not get involved in the persecution of the Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and Communists in Europe in the 1930's. Only when the Night of Broken Glass and Hitler's public announcement to exterminate any Jews left under their domain in 1937 did many countries suddenly and silently allowed refugees enter their borders and ceased anyone from being deported back to Germany. Not one leader raised a voice in protest of Hitler torturing and gassing people causing Jews outside Germany begging for help from national leaders to receive indifference. The question should be, What would have happened if we had gotten involved in foreign problems?, maybe the Holocaust would not have occurred if one national leader protested Hitler's public announcement the day after he made.
Sure we little people today, like the little people in 1930's, can protest the war in Iraq on our blogs and opinion section of newspapers, but few are listening to us little people. It takes a large public figure to get people's attention. Post later. Bye!
