Ticked Off-One entry in today's Ticked Off was a customer mad that servers come by and ask "you still working on that?" Come on, if that's the one thing in life that is really bothering you, you need to get out of the house more often. I'll tell you the thing that bugs me that some servers do, and mine is as stupid as the other persons. I hate it when they sit down at your table to take your order. Are you too tired to stand? Do you feel that close to my family that you must sit? Or is the air too thin up there to breather that you must sit you get your breath before going back to the kitchen? AND, this really drives me crazy not that I am ranting...If you can remember my entire order without writing it down, that's awesome. However, if you choose not to write it down, and you screw up my order because you forgot, I will grab the mustard bottle and throw it at you when you walk away. (OK, I really won't do that. Or will I?) HAHA

Battle of the Sexes-The men won today in the tiebreaker!

Ben Stein-You know him from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Win Ben Stein's Money, the Clear Eyes commercials, and now you know him from the Scott and Erica Show. Ben joined us this morning and he said he visits Orlando at least 10 times a year. He said his favorite thing about Orlando, Waffle House! HAHA He is hosting a new show on VH-1 called "America's Most Smartest Model." You can see it over and over on VH-1.

$25 Pyramid-Scott played today and got 4 out of 5.

From CNN, the 6 Reasons You're Not Getting Promoted:

1. You slack off. If you show up late, check out your MySpace, and goof off...a promotion won't be happening any time soon.

2. You do just enough to get by. Your bosses are looking for someone that goes above and beyond.

3. You're not visible enough. It's cool to be good at what you do, so don't be afraid to show others how good you are.

4. You're difficult. No one wants to work with someone that's difficult and that cold be holding you back.

5. You haven't mastered your current job. Once you've mastered all aspects of your job, the odds of a promotion are much better. Don't act like any part of your job is beneath you.

6. Your boss needs you in the job you're in. It is possible to be too good at your job, so your boss doesn't want to let you go. Make it clear you want to move up in the company.

Fact or Fiction-Chris Menza listened to me yesterday and came in and stole Scott's $80. He can now go for the $200 tomorrow...unless you steal it.

Google Me-

Have you ever been a little slow at work and decided to Google yourself? Did something pop up that you weren't expecting to see? I Googled my name and let's just say that there is a guy out there that makes videos for adults and that's what comes up when you type in my name. (just lovely huh?) Try Googling your name, you never know what will come up.

$25 Pyramid-I played this morning and we got 5 out of 5. The jackpot resets to $25 tomorrow morning.

"The Family Cloth"

There is a group out there that is trying to preserve the Earth and wants everyone to cut down on the amount of paper products they use. So, the first thing they suggested is cutting down on the amount of toilet paper we use on a daily basis. Instead of paper, they have come up with the idea of the "Family Cloth." Need I say more? Hopefully you're not eating right now. You have got to be kidding me! There is no way I would even consider that idea. You use the cloth, it goes into the washing machine and gets ready for the next family member. No way, not going to happen!

Fact or Fiction

Ewww!

Scott was talking about his morning routine and thinks that we forgot to put on deodorant this morning. I happen to have a stick of roll-on in my car and offered it to him. Well, he took me up on my offer, which I didn't expect! We're both germ-a-phobes and I had to think twice about whether or not it's gross to share deo with someone. What do you think? Would you be willing to share your deodorant with a friend or is that a place that you don't share anything? Zack ended up going to 7-11 and bought him a stick.

Battle of the Sexes- It was one of the best Battle's ever! Both players got all 3 questions right and it came down to the tiebreaker and the men won! 4 out of 5 games this week for the men!

Glenn Richards-Unfortunately, Glenn doesn't like the weather this weekend. He said to expect rain off and on all weekend with lots of wind. If you have outdoor plans, you may want to move things inside. On the Glenn scale, he gave the weekend a 5.

$25 Pyramid- I played today and got 4 out of 5. The jackpot for Monday will be $30.

Curbside Shopping-Scott was a little freaked out that he put his old porch furniture out last night and this morning when he left for work it was gone. He was hoping someone would take it, but it's still a little weird when someone actually does. Have you ever done a little dumpster diving or curbside shopping? I must admit, I took 2 metal shelves from a neighbors trash when I moved into my new house to put in my garage and I still have them.

Battle of the Sexes-The ladies won today

Ticked Off-Is it ok for a guy to get the paper in his undies? I know that tighty-whiteys are a no-no to begin with, but what if the guy were running out to the driveway in his boxers or boxer briefs? Now I know what you're thinking ladies, if he has a 6-pack and looks like he's a Hanes model, he can come out in whatever he wants! But, if it were an average guy, would it bother you if you saw him in his drawers?

FOUND MONEY!- Bernard Salcedo of Sanford was in his attic and found a box hidden in his insulation. To his surprise, he opened it and there was $100,000 in small bills! He called the cops, they said no one lost it. Turns out, the guy that lived there several years before was murdered in the house. He hid the money up there because he bought and sold guns and was a bail bondsman. Now that Bernard found the money, the guys estranged wife came out of nowhere and said that she has the right to that money. My question to you is "what would you do?" Would you have not said a word and kept it all, called the cops like Bernard did, turn it all over to the wife? Me? You'd be reading in my blog how I'm spending a lot more time on my new boat!
