Back In The Saddle Again

Over 200 cookie jars. She had over 200 cookie jars, the women is literally going to cookie jar herself out of a house. Very sweet elderly women, but makes me wonder where is the line between collecting and hoarding. I mean her house was very clean, but EVERYWHERE you looked was a cookie jar. Ok now that I got that off my chest, how has everyone been? I really haven't had any crackpots of customers lately, but then I've been in a slight funk and have not taken the time to get to know my customers like I usually do. But after a few days away from work for my 11th wedding anniversary and a ton of honey-to-do things, I'm back and ready to see what flavor of stupidity my wonderful job is willing to throw at me. And it didn't disappoint...Had me a nice trailer the other day with 3 dogs running freely around the unfenced yard. The yard was all mud, with a cooler sitting in the middle of the yard. Not sure if this is the gathering place for the locals. The three dogs all felt the need to bark at me from the minute I pulled up and all the way till I was done an hour and a half later. Random chickens would cross my path from time to time, and I think I saw some pigs out there too. The longer I live here, the more normal these kinds of places (meaning redneck zoo's) are becoming to me. There were cameras strategically placed all over the trailer with the wires for these cameras just hanging and drooping off the trailer. So if you sneak up and pull on these wires, Inspector Gadget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Gadget loses his surveillance. They shipped me off to a more urban setting this fine Saturday. Now there was more traffic and a lot more people, but no difference is intelligence. I had a women who lived in a 1 bedroom apartment, nothing seemed strange until she opened the door. It was like being hit in the face with a big ball of ammonia. Then the crunching began as I walked across here carpeted floor. Where is the crunching coming from you might ask, from the 11 cat litter boxes sprawled all over the apartment. You would think that a place with 14 cats would be more, nah who am I kidding? There was more cat litter on the floor than in the boxes. Can't you die from inhaling these cat fumes for too long?! Just imagine the hair in this women's food, hell it was all over me and my black shirt looked like I had sexual relations with a Wookie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wookie. Is online dating that bad that a young women needs to sit home on a Saturday night with her 14 cats? Then a local tech from the area came by to see if I needed a hand, I appreciated his jester, but all he did was complain about everything he has to do at work. Do I seem like I'm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phil_Donahue_Show or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._phil? I don't think so, we all have to deal with day to day BS, my outlet is this blog, maybe he should just simmer down and enjoy the world around him. As I try to do, hope everyone has good time doing whatever you sickos do,
