Neighbors

| | Comments (6)

I'm totally ticked with my neighbors! We used to live in lovely isolation, until the farmer who sold us our land decamped with his family to Idaho. He sold the rest of his land to a developer and now we have six houses along our western lot line. Unfortunately, neighbor number three has nothing to do all day but look out their window at the very old willow that is falling apart bit by bit on OUR land.

A Letter of Complaint

I'm really ticked!

We have been shopping at the same Jewel Food store for about fifteen years. The employees there have been incredibly kind to my mother, so we return that kindness by shopping there.

Albertson's, the owner of the Jewel chain, is making it's presence known, and there has been a recent shift in the management of this store. There's a new employee who is absolutely grating on us. This person's job is to oversee the checkers. She keeps track of who should be on break, who is collecting carts, who is checking, and who is bagging.

I'm Livid!

I don't often loose my temper, but I have today. Mindful of the fact that youngsters visit here now and then, I won't be using the words that are actually on my mind. I don't intend to use the cutsey symbol replacements for certain letters, but don't let all that lull you into thinking that I am kidding about being angry!
