Longing for Civility

This weekend we saw people behaving badly at a store. Very badly.
Yes, in public. Adult people. If our children acted like this there would be punishment.
What do adults get? A reality show?
Why is it acceptable to hit someone, pull their hair etc when you aren't getting your way?
I do not and will never understand this ugly behavior. But it's all TV 24/7 so now it seems to be acceptable. But why do we let it be acceptable?  Does everyone really not care anymore?

Today flask over at furthermore flask she wrote about how civilized talk radio was in Canada. It made me smile. I long for that type of civility. It doesn't mean we are any less passionate about what we believe in. It just means we don't have to name call, point fingers, scream or lie. Imagine that?

Speaking of civility here is the opposite.  Mr. Trump.
We can all breath easier at night knowing this numb nut is not running for president.
That comb over will never be on your money. ...tee hee

Have any of you had Godiva's baked goods? Somehow I started getting catalogs.
Soon after drooling over the photo's and descriptions I think I gain a pound or two.
Honestly this stuff is so good. I got a cake a couple years ago as a gift.
Could be how i got the catalogs I guess.

Rick's daughter is so difficult to buy for. Her birthday is in a few weeks.
Last year she got an Apple gift card to use towards her Ipad. 
Don't have that kind of cash this year. She will be 31 and really has everything except a good car. We can not buy her a new car. She has a great job so she can get her own car.
But she loves chocolate and I got their new catalog and thought - hey who wouldn't want gooey brownies, cupcakes (filled with Godiva ganache) and truffles sent to them as a birthday tower of goodies? You know as 1 chocolate lover to another.
I know I would love that gift. At Christmas one of her plethora of gifts from us was a Cheesecake factory gift card. Do you know out of all the pain staking shopping I did this is what she liked the most? So why not godiva?
She doesn't cook or bake so every year I make sure if we aren't with her that she gets some type of baked good. And if she's with us I load up on making baked goods and fudge etc.
C'mon, tell me these don't look great.

Makes me wish it were my birthday I'd send them to myself!

I had a job interview today. I have a job already you say.
Why yes i do. 9 hours a day normally. But even though things have picked up we need to catch up so I thought maybe a few hours a week at Starbucks in my home town.
They called me in for an interview. How funny this was.
I was met by a 27 year old young lady. Her name was Marie.
She obviously had no interviewing skills what so ever.
She had no format, no notes, and she appeared more nervous than anything.
She asked me 2 questions and then sat there. So I took the ball and asked her questions and she would say things like, "oh yes, good, we need to discuss that."  That allowed her to realize something else she wanted to say.  I wondered if she was new at this position, but I did not ask.

I don't think their needs and my needed hours are going to work but we'll see. 
One thing I thought was funny was when she asked me if I knew their dress code. She told me no facial piercings or tattoo's are allowed to be shown while working and if that would be a problem for me. I held back my laughter and just smiled and said, "Not a problem."
She of course did not ask my age because legally she can't do that. But she mentioned the woman who was at the register who appears to be 60ish. She said she was a great worker and she does prefer people older. She then went on about their mature employees who have such a great work ethic. Then she added, "But you aren't quite as old to be in that group just yet." I laughed and was wondering if she was trying to find out my age or sincerely thought I wasn't that old. I didn't bite and tell her my age.  It's on my application if she paid attention.
We'll see. I don't think I'll be in a little Starbucks hat and black pants and shirt anytime soon honestly.

I got a call from my police officer working on the fraud case. The hotel is denying they ever had this card come through. So now the bank had to fax the information to the lieutenant and he will go back to this hotel. Something tells me someone who works there may be involved as well. It's all so fishy.

It's glorious outside so I'm off to walk Izzy while we have this great weather.
It won't last long.
