Ok, if you are in the *express* line , please have your shit ready to go .

prep your check ( fil in store name, sign it,etc)

have your money and spare change in the same pocket

Please, don't buy a pack of gum on a credit card

Know your pin number

Know *how much* you have in your account

If the signs reads " 15 or less " it doesn't mean 16 or there abouts

I really don't care that "little Susie" lost her tooth last night, really.

Please make sure *you* picked up the right sell idem . Casue if *I* have to leave the check stand and see for myself, it only makes those in line have to wait longer, which means it could be you waiting ...

Yelling at me cause were out of such and such doésn't *really* do any good . And if you catch me on the wrong day, i yell back (this has happen a few times). Please take that to a manager or PIC ( person in charge) .

Yo, I need more CTS advice, if you're willing.

I heard from my brother, who sends his thanks for all of your advice. Sounds like the doc agrees with a lot of it, but he might not have had that info if it werent' for all of you.

He's now resolved to put the hitachi in mothballs.

One question from him, though: advice on particular ergo keyboards? He says most of them are complete crap.

What's with having to change them every 3 months and having to have something 8 digets long no letters. I have at least three, too. Oh well.

I got mine through an assesment. Micro-effin-soft KU-0045. But the same woman has given different ones to different employees--so either she's onto something, or has a good line of mumbo-jumbo.

I hate having to provide a doctors certification that I have been sick. It is the untrusting action and costs me money to see a doctor. If it is easier I can come snot on your desk and you can send it to the lab.

Questions and complaints recieved by heli today at the ticket office:

Nobody TOLD us it was going to rain here today, why didn't anyone tell us?

(visitor) You need more signs to tell people how to get here. (heli) OK, where would you like another sign? (visitor) Well we have been looking for Scotty's Castle since Flagstaff, how about one there? (445 miles away)

(very pretty visitor lady) How can you stand living out here in the middle of nowhere? (heli) Well, it takes some getting used to, but I like it.
(visitor) Don't you get lonely, you know for women?-and she winks at me (heli thinking to himself, thanks a lot lady, make me feel all lonely)
(heli to lady) Well, there are a couple of cathouses nearby, that usually takes care of things. (lady looking very shocked) Oh!

~~~~~heli will for sure get written up for that one~~~~~~

People who have to get my attention when they put anything in my in-basket. 'Just place the fucking fax on top of the pile, thank you very much. Trumpets will not herald you doing your job.'
