New Year Resolutions

 Make them don't make them. I have made them in the past and have failed at them, all of them. I have thought about making a few this year and what they would be but, if I did, would I just fail at them? Would it be better at some later point to decide I am going to do it and just do it? Several months ago I decided on a list of things I would do every day and I have stuck with it. The things I am thinking I want to do are bigger things then the new habits I have stuck with.  What to do, what to do?

Christmas Spirit

 or lack of it. People putting up decorations at Halloween make me crazy. Totally skip Thanksgiving. And now a week before Christmas there are limited holiday things in the store and there are already sales. I kinda like the idea of after Christmas sales.

No one here seems to be that into things either. And it's all fine.

 or lack of it. Customer service is pretty much non existent as is common courtesy. Recent examples; the salvation army bell ringer and his pot blocking the entry at walmart, the ticked off safeway low level manger who had to work a register and refused to put in the rewards phone number when it was typed in wrong, fred meyers lame excuses for not having prices marked correctly on shelves. They have been using the 'we don't have staff' since the pandemic started, only to find out that they only allow their staff to work 20 hours a week even if they want to work more.  There was no reason for any of this issues to take place. You don't have to be a brain surgeon to know not to stand in front of a door and then expect people to reward your bad behavior. If you have to do a job that you deem beneath you for 5 minutes, suck it up you're getting a check. Give your employees more hours, people should not have to work 2 jobs or one and still be eligible for food stamps. Th...
