Observations from Pat
• When I went out to grab my newspaper this morning, I noticed that the paper is being delivered closer and closer to my front door over this past week. I just realized that the damn “paperboy” (actually paper man, driving a beat-up Chevy) is attempting to be nice since holiday tipping time is right around the corner.
• Similarly, it drives me crazy when a waitress who has been rude and hasn’t even noticed or acknowledged our kids decides to smile and ask their ages as she delivers the bill. These actions are directly reflected in giving her a smaller tip.
• Mark must have noticed how agency people laugh louder at his so-called jokes as it gets closer to agency review time.
• While working out in the gym this morning (seriously), I thought to myself, if you fart while on the treadmill with your headphones on, does it make a sound?
• Lastly, should fat weatherwoman wear green on the sides of their outfits so they have a slim-down effect when they step in front of the green screen?

Why I Don’t Print
For quite a while it has been my goal to never print anything. Ever. The times that I do print it is usually for someone else. But finally my printer ran out of ink so I went to Staples to buy more. I purchased one each of the colors and a 2-pack of black ink. The total came to $80.
But at least this new ink will last me a very long time.
Everyone knows my main pet peeve with other drivers is their failure to use turn signals. It infuriates me when some slob turns in front of me and doesn’t use their blinker.
This morning during the pre-flight check in my car, I discovered my left turn indicator lights weren’t working. The right ones were fine but the left signals were malfunctioning in the front and back. Since I was running late to work, I left anyway but decided to make only right turns all the way to work.
I plotted my course where I had to overshoot roads just so I could come back where I needed to be by turning right at an intersection further down. It took a little figuring but I finally made it to work. I was over an hour late but I was still able to enforce my policy of using my blinker at every turn.
