Beware little old ladies with too much time on their hands----having done what resembles my household chores ( load dishwasher) the dogs were ready to go to “work” somewhere--- they do love going in these adult care places and wandering around being patted by 3 people at a time ( long dogs) so they have come to expect it...like morning cookies.. it is a routine many days a week.. but yesterday we did not have ... judy... or any assignment... so ......... I went to the place topsfield parks their school busses....
Ustabeee--- when I went to let the dogs or puppies run there daily, I would swing by the back of the busses and see how m any put that sign in the back window that says “this bus has been checked for sleeping children”. A reallllly simple thing tht is not often critical.... it is that often part...it happens... so of topsfields 13 busses. Only 5 had the sign in the window--- darn it-- so I wondered how ip[swich would measure up.. I had to call the police to find where they parked the busses---and went there... 11 ipswich school busses parked with signs in 8 of them...- better than topfield but still----- it is not that difficult to walk to the back of the bus and put the sign up... so there is a chore for some of you out driving around—go check... and maybe let someone know you are checking... sad as that soundew—apparently there is a need for someone to check on this...
And then I remembered........ long ago.. we owned a getty gas station right across the street from a college—so the attendents were constantly students... back when they wiped your windscreen too....that was so long ago that the gas pumps were the kind where the numbers were simply on a roll which totalled the price....i do not know how long it went on... but we caught one student who had his own set of numbers stuck on that roll so that he was making an extra $2 per time he pumped the gas. Who would check??
Well – I then went for groceries—and as the person flipped my grapes past the “reader” I thought......and thought..... so I came home with 2 small bags of groceries totalling $93--- once in my life I had determined a bag of groceries was $20-----wow.. !!! ( cigarettes were 20 cents a pack...and a millionaire was wealthy)---- took my recipet and checked off the items against the labels--- everything checked except the 2 yogurts.. one was $2.49 and the other $2.69.. ON MY RECIEPT.... how odd......so what is 20 cents???give me 20 cents on every one going thru the line and I would be very wealthy. Automatically read- computer accuracy?? Should not have happened... the items looked identical AND BOTH LABLELED $2.49 ... maybe different shipments??? Maybe just forget it...? PROBABLY NOT... THERE ARE MANY TIMES I HAVE THAT KIND OF EXTRA TIME ON MY HANDS SO MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE A NEW COLUMN IN THE NEWSPAPER “BEWARE OF OLD FOLK WITH TIME TO DONATE TO THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY”..
Back when I was programming--- I could make 2. + 2=6.. no problem...
I do not understand how that check out made that error..... but you can believe I will be at it again !! can any of you tell me how that could be correct??
SO all you ....HELP ME to find more of these places where we can put our “services” to good use.. ASSUMING IS FOR asses?
