I was off work yesterday and which prompted me to run some errands. Fortunately my schedule allows me to have some weekdays off which is great because a majority of people work during the week and it makes errand running a lot easier.
My first endeavour was going to the DMV to have my registration renewed. Wednesdays they open at noon so I arrived at about quarter past. I checked in with the receptionist and obtained my ticket. I was #C426. I sat down with my daughter and saw that C412 was being served. Not bad I thought. Waited about 10 minutes, met with the teller and got my reg renewed in about 5 minutes. I spent a total of 15 minutes at DMV which is f-ing amazing considering they have about 30+ teller stalls but usually only have about 15 of them open. Great use of our tax paying dollars.
Next I was off to BJs to pick up some bulk supplies. Upon arrival I got my cart, put my daughter in the cart and journeyed towards the front doors. As we were entering the front door I passed by a elderly couple and one of them farted and kept farting as I passed through the front doors. It was one of those wet sounding farts which may or may not be accompanied by shit. I think he/she shit their pants. Once inside I grabbed things on my list and went to the self checkout line. This fucking thing is a pain in the ass. Every other thing I put on the belt came back to me and half the shit I tried to scan wouldn't scan. I finally got everything through (with the help of a BJs employee) and proceeded to the doors where I met with the BJs receipt checker. Time at BJS... about 20 minutes.
After BJs we went to the Seaford Federal Credit Union where we have our daughter's savings account. She had her 1st birthday on September 21st and we deposited her birthday earnings. Spent about 5 minutes at the bank.
Leaving the bank I looked over at the Carey Insurance Agency and had an idea. I've noticed over the months that a lot of the Blog's contributors (who work for the Carey Insurance Agency) post some (a lot) of their pieces during work hours. That's it I thought! I think I will pop on in, unannounced and see for my self what my fellow Bloggers are working on.
I first came across Josh and Pickle in the conference room or at least it looked like a conference room. Maybe it was their office, I don't know. Josh was working on his lap top with the computer screen facing away from me so I couldn't see what was on the screen. He didn't look nervous or fidgety so I can only assume he was working. Pickle was working on a desk top which was facing me and I could clearly see the screen. It had a bunch of charts and stuff on it so I'm pretty sure he was working. Of course their were a lot of minimized tabs at the bottom of the screen so I was a little leery. I will give them both the benefit of the doubt.
I left them and made my way down the hall to Fritz's office. Saw Robert sitting at his desk first. He was on the phone talking numbers with someone. I assumed it was mortgage stuff but he could of been betting on the horses. Billy passed by doing what he does best, Smiling. I said hello and he returned the gesture. Fritz was in his office, papers scattered around his desk. No Blog stuff on his screen. We chatted for a while. Pickle came in and they talked a few about a client. Work was being done.
As I left Fritz walked me to the back door because I was parked at the bank. I said goodbye to Robert who was now off the phone. Billy was on the phone now (probably sweet talking some MILF), I meant client, and I said goodbye to him. Just before the backdoor I saw Travis and Pickle talking in a office (I assume it's Travis's office cuz Pickle's office has a bigger table and more chairs). I stood at the door and looked in for a few seconds but neither looked booked. I guess they were pretty involved in their business dialogue. Working those numbers and credit scores? I would say Yes Sir.
I said goodbye to Fritz and made my way to my car. As I drove off I thought to myself "what a lucky guy I am. My guys are working hard for me." I know that my all my insurance and mortgage needs are being cared for and looked after. Nationwide (and All American Mortgage) Is - ALWAYS - On My Side!!!
Thanks Guys!
PS... Don't let this discourage you from blogging while at work, but I do expect you to stop if I get in an accident or my house catches on fire.

It's nice to know a person's work is appreciated!
ReplyDeleteOf course, Frank claims i didn't do much yesterday because part of it was spent entertaining you in my office!!!!!
