So I just got back from Lowes with the tap I need. However they could not ring me out because they could not scan the package because it did not exist . Three employees ran around for 10min. trying to complete this transaction. Turned out they had just done inventory and the product had somehow not been counted.

Passed by the liquor store, got to the cash and the cashier could not make change for the person in front of me ( this is for you Bigun, Ottawa/Alpine) because he did not know the difference between the coins. So the cashier adjacent showed him as he's looking up at me laughing, to which I responded,"It's not all that funny, you're a cashier and you can't make change!"(a new immigrant) So the manager comes over and attempting to appease me in my vocal disdain declares "we will get you on your way". To which I respond, "This is unbelievable! This is the worst I've ever seen! It cannot be worse than this!!!" To which the manager replies, "Don't come back here!". I turned and said, "What? You have a cashier who can't make change!" To be abundantly clear, I barely raised my voice and did not use expletives to any degree except to state what was taking place. So it appears I may be banned from this store for being upset that the cashier is incompetent to make change.

Perhaps, perhaps Mt Murphy responds in kind to the heaviness, "density" or weight upon which we're treading at the moment. I remember the old cartoon people had in their offices, the one with the guy with his head in a vise captioned "Go ahead! Give it a turn - I work better under pressure!"

The joke is no one works better under pressure, things dont go better when the density of attachment to an outcome - like success for example - has hit the upper rail. Mr Murphy's outcomes are begging the question "Do I want to be right, or do I want to be...happy?"

Today, someone dial-toned me because I asked for $5 more on a $145 offer to meet them personally, today, with the item. Well, someone had already offered $145 for it and I felt obliged to the first offer. I explained the situation and said I could meet as I was going out taking a package to be shipped anyway; +$5 would best the previous offer. Could have had it in hand today for a whole $5 more, but I guess it was $1-4-5 or nothing. As the FedEx guy delivering here today tells me how he cant finish all his packages in a 12 hour shift! He took the package I needed to send...

What did I sell for $145? A Vise!
