Happy little Halloween.

Today, November 1 is traditional around the old office. How, you ask? Glad you asked. The tradition is that on the day after Halloween, the giant bowl of candy appears. It's the giant bowl that one employee brings in filled with all the Halloween candy that they didn't give to the hungry, begging children yesterday. It is our gift now.
It is filled with Reese's cups, miniature Butterfinger bars, miniature bags of M&M's (plain and peanut) and ... well, mostly miniatures, including the world's most ridiculous Snickers ... um ... bar.
They're so small (slightly larger than a United States penny) that the only thing there is room for on the wrapper is the phone number that you should call if you have a question or comment. I have both.
Question: Who needs a Snickers bar this tiny? Does the wrapper weight more than the candy?
Comment: I don't need a tiny Snickers bar. I would much prefer the regular size Snickers, since all this does is piss me off that I didn't get a regular Snickers bar. If you gave this to the kids in my neighborhood, your car would be smeared with miniature Snickers goop.

But it's true.

that is why the snickers bar bag never left my possession. I am enjoying several right now. I have convinced myself that I am burning more calories by opening each of those little wrappers.

We gave out full size chocolate bars or cans of pop. The kids had to make a choice.

I notice there is no more UNICEF boxes around anyones necks like we used to do.

Thirteen Little Quirks Don't Judge 1. Shaking Hands. I'm starting to get a little goofy about shaking hands. When a stranger shakes my hand, I am uneasy until I can find a chance to wash. 2. Door Handles. Likewise. I usually grip the handle someplace where I think others aren't. When I can, I push with my elbow or closed fist. I don't get sick much, either. 3. I trim my underarm hair. I think that's good for everyone involved. 4. Change . I almost never use change. If something is $1.01 and I have a nickel, they're not getting it. Take a penny, leave a penny? Go ahead, I have a change jar to maintain. 5. Penmanship and spelling. A high priority. If you saw my handwriting, you would know what I mean. Strangers compliment me on it. I look at it as both artwork and a courtesy to the people I'm communicating with that they can read and comprehend whan I'm doing. The downside is that I can never get away with anything based on not being able to read my handw...

My weekly supermarket trip is generally odd enough to support a blog of its own, but God (and Bill O'Reilly) knows I don't need something else to do. Last night, I'm standing in line with my usual assortment of odd items, when I see the woman in front of me hesitate for a moment. The cashier had told her that her order came to $124.25, and this caused the woman to ponder, "I want to make this check out so that I get cash back. What's the limit?" That's right - the check . Of course, the cashier didn't know, because ... c'mon, who writes checks to begin with? She turned to a co-worker and asked. The response came back that the limit was $30. The woman was relieved, for some unknown reason. She said she needed more than $25. She looked at the total again, and then started to make out the check. "Is it OK if I make this out for $150 even ? I need a little extra." Which, actually is a question and a statament, but I digress. She proce...

Thirteen Things That Scare Me a Little The Christmas decorations are up at the local mall, but never mind that. Tuesday is Hallowe'en. 1. Any letter from my Condo Association. It makes my heart skip a beat. Usually it's something really stupid that I'm not doing. Tell the people who are doing it and leave me alone. 2. Spam e-mail with T.M.I. I recently got a Spam message that contained my first and last name, from a Landon Nicholson (no relation) telling me that "Your history shows that your Viagra prescription is ready to be re-filled." Uh-huh. My personal history shows that I need Viagra like I need a hair dryer and a comb. 3. When the Boss says, "You got a minute?" He never calls me in to chit-chat. 4. Dying alone. I don't need to elaborate on that, except to say that if I needed Viagra, I wouldn't be worried about it. 5. George W. Bush with his hand on the Bible. I keep waiting for it to burst into flames . 6. My spin instructo...
