In keeping with my tradition here’s some more Monday morning peeves..

Why do bank employees think it’s appropriate to chew gum while they are helping us? I’m sure it has something to do with fresh minty smelling breath.. but I personally think it’s rude when I walk up to the teller and there he is chomping away at a piece of gum.

How about this.. you call a company and the person on the other end is (you guessed it) chomping away on a piece of gum. Just as bad are the people who calls you but you could hear them eat their lunch while they speak to you. Or those that light a cigarette before they dial your number, only for you to hear them puffing while you speak. Simply eat your lunch or finish your cigarette before calling…is it that difficult?

BTW.. the grad was great on Friday. However I had to ask, who has more energy? The kids or the camp counselors? Talk about a rowdy, noisy bunch. Speaking about noisy… this past weekend the soccer team that we sponsor took part in a tournament (our daughter India is on the team) so we were there for a couple games. There must have been 12-15 games going on at the same time, with about 50-75 moms, dads, sisters, grannys, aunts, uncles, friends (you get the picture) at each game SCREAMING at the top of their voices. I left the park with a humming in my head from all the noise

Just wanted to say congrats to all the girls on the team (Genuinejobs.com). You did a great job on the field and made many parents and supporters very proud. India.. great job my “solid” defender. And a special thanks to the coaches that have dedicated their time for the girls.
