Ok, you know those people at funeral homes who tell you where to park your car and direct you inside and tell you where to stand, when to blow your nose, etc....Well, do ya'll think they get paid extra to be snotty?
We had a man yesterday at the funeral of Paul's grandma who was downright rude to us. He ran up as soon as we pulled up and said "Grandchild?" "yes." "Well, then you need to park in the driveway." No we could not leave the van at the end of the driveway or move it after going in to let Paul's parents know we were there. It had to be moved NOW. When Paul asked if this really had to be so complicated the man said "yes it does sir, we have people to get to the cemetery." And he wasn't polite about it. I told Paul later he should have broken down right there in a sobbing heap and started wailing about his poor lost grandma. I say families pay these folks alot of money to bury their loved ones; these people should be willing to dress up and come jumping out of our cars like so many clowns in a circus act.
I know, I know.. not all of them are like that but some of them are so uptight; they act as though the funeral has to be run like the academy awards - when you hear the music you must stop your crying and exit stage right.

Also, we got a call from Blake's paper supervisor today. Seems we missed a customer the other day. Yes it was on the sheet the next day "customer found no paper." But this customer warrants a separate call because he is the publisher of the paper. Something does not seem right here. If he is the publisher of the paper and works at the office; when he misses a paper, do we really need to take him one the next day or COULD HE PICK ONE UP AT THE OFFICE WHEN HE SHOWS UP FOR WORK?????? So the supervisor says to be sure and leave this guy a paper because after all he is the publisher. Well, we are an equal opportunity family and he is no more important to us than our family dentist, or our home builder, or Blake's math teacher, or the 95 other customers to whom we deliver (and who have no access to a hundred free papers at their places of work)

So...a couple people have irritated me a little bit these last couple of days.
