Morning means a dull post

I swear not being able to blog at work will be the death of me. I think of all kinds of things throughout the day and end up forgetting them later. I suppose I could draft one and then post it later, but isn't spontaneity the mother of all good posts? I think so. So I end up blogging in the morning before work, and frankly I don't have a lot of time. I do have the TV news on while I am getting ready, so I will throw out another really annoying commercial that only you local Portlanders will get: that Sleep Country commercial with the lady in it that just on her own bugs the crap out of me. But what REALLY irritates me is the way she says "best". The end of her spiel is "best selection, best prices" and best something else but I can't remember what it is because just after she says "best" the first time the blood is rushing up to my head and by the end of it my ears are ringing and I am usually mocking her out loud. She says "beSSSSSSt". It's a really pronounced "s" and a really hard "t". I can't stand it.

Also of note, I have had some recent readers (well, visitors, they don't look like they are reading) who have found me by googling "Toyota Lots on the Lot commercial music". Oh my hell. Why do you care? Why would you want to know where that music comes from? It's not a particularly catchy tune. But it is really amazing when you see how many people have googled it and then found my blog as a result. Crazy. You people. Jeesh.

So I am receptionist-ing for Christine this week and it's slow and I sort of hang out and smile at everyone and realize how much Christine does all day and the abuse she has to put up with. I can only say that I am glad that I don't have to hand calls off to ME, because I was wretched to her. You know, I always apologized after, but good Lord. This is called karma, and a learning exercise. Two more days. I can do it.

Okay, gotta run. See what I mean?
