A customer yesterday came to my register and started telling me a long tale about how the greeters were giving out week-old flyers instead of current ones. According to his tale of woe, he had to ask repeatedly for a current flyer so he could be aware of the weekend's deals. At the end of his story, he informed me that a product I scanned was coming up at too high a price. I pointed to the flyer that he so valiantly fought for, which informed him that the deal was only good on Saturday, not Sunday.

I love when customers talk themselves into a corner.

And then there's my father. I brought the mail down to his office in the basement, where he was watching online videos of an, *ahem*, explicit nature. I tossed the mail onto his desk, which made him jump and scramble to his mouse and keyboard to belatedly close windows on his screen.

You'd think he'd get his hearing tested since this is probably the tenth time I've walked in on him in recent years. 9_9

South Africa. I have wanted to go to South Africa my entire life. I want to go to the safari parks, I want to visit Cape Town and Kimberley (centre of the South African diamond industry in the old days) and travel on the luxury trains--the Blue Train and Rovos Rail's Pride of Africa. It's a beautiful country that I would love to visit. Wouldn't mind working there if they'd have me.

Once the country's more stable, I also want to extend the trip to include Zimbabwe. I would love to see Victoria Falls especially. It'll be a while before the country is in good enough shape to visit, though.

The best part of going to South Africa and Zimbabwe in the summer is that it's winter down there, so the weather will be a bit more tolerable. I don't particularly enjoy the heat.
