hkellickI've had it to just about here with the quote unquote service industry. America is increasing moving from manufacturing to service. And the service industry sucks! Because despite what they claim, the service industry is about making money, not helping people.
Take insurance.. insurance.. whether house, car or medical.. is the biggest scam ever! You give them lots and lots of money to pay you in case something happens. it finally does and.. WHAM! they drop you! How is that SERVICE? My grandmother's car insurance company is trying to drop her because she's an elderly driver living in a household with two car. I don't understand WHY, but... they are
Or the banks? My bank has a new policy.. any out of CITY check now needs *3* business days to go totally through. That means if I give my check to them on Wednesday, it won't clear until MONDAY. How is this SERVICE? I went to M&T to get AWAY from this! So... I dunno what to do. Chances are.. going to another bank won't help.. but.. that's *5* days without most of my check! That SUCKS!
So... I saw "From Hell" last night. The pixieman gives it two thumbs up! It's a bit hard to follow at times.. especially if you don't know the facts behind Jack the Ripper. Also... while it may be the most accurate movie to date, you have to realize it's not even necessarily 50% real. The inspector never existed.. not did the prostiutes necessarily know each other.. but anyways, it was a good movie!
I saw my cousins yesterday too.. my mother's brother and family: Uncle Jeff, Jaime, Jonathon and Josh. We had dinner with my grandmother. It was cool. (especially when they all came in and said "You look GOOD! How much weight have you lost?" :D )
