Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Sea of Peonies

My 3 day weekend started late.  That's right, I ended up with overtime - a full hour, most of that taken up by an Hispanic whose wife had set up an online measure for laminate flooring without providing a product.  He wanted a quote for installation, but didn't want to chose a product.  Our system doesn't work that way.  We're in the business of selling products, the installations are handled by a Regional 3rd part group.  He also told me his floor was "squeaky."  I explained that they will not install on top of squeaky floors.  If your floor squeaks when you walk on it, then your floorboards or plywood sub-floor are moving.  I ended up choosing a random laminate and emailing our measurement services, asking them to contact him once a quote was built.  This happens fairly often, customers setting themselves up with online measures without understanding that the product they choose is going to change the installation costs.  There, how's that for a tirade?  Vicious, wasn't I?
The new watch band for my Fenix 3 was waiting for me when I got home.  No instructions, but easy to figure out.  Took me all of 5 minutes to take off the old one and put on the new one.  During the process I realized how scuffed up it was and realized that at some point I will need to buy another one.  The battery has about a year of life left... maybe.  They're expensive so I'm going to hold off as long as I can.
I have to ask, did the Idiot Jerk in the White House do anything other than stupid yesterday?  Or one of his minions?  I did see where the bottled blond he has as a Press Secretary released his banking information by holding up a blank check.  I wonder how many hackers filched that information. 
My face masks are causing the top of my nose to break out.  Where as many people only need to wear theirs only when they go shopping, I'm supposed to wear my throughout my entire shift.  We do take them off when we're back in the lunchroom since wearing one makes it difficult to eat (that's supposed to be funny).
I have a lot of buds on the peony bush out front.  When it blooms I will have a sea of peonies.

  1. I have three peony bushes out back and they went from being loaded with buds yesterday to all blooming at the same time and collapsing with the weight this morning. They're beautiful but they don't last long (and they always seem to be crawling with ants).

    1. I think the ants have something to do with helping them bloom. I use the same supports I used for my Dahlias to keep them from falling over.

  2. I think our peonies bit the dust; dug up by squirrels.

    1. Damn squirrels dig up everything simply because they can't remember where they buried their nuts.

  4. Aww sorry about your nose bridge! You are right, we only wear them when we go out, whereas you use them for wok!
    And IMPOTUS was golfing, huh? While the deaths reached on hundred thousand. Shameful.
    Love your garden! I’m trying to have my own but I started super late and it’s only now that some bulbs are popping up....
