If we had remote controls for people? Of course, they would need a "power on" switch, for that lazy girl at the office who sits and paints her fingernails instead of answering the phone, and a "power off" switch for the chatty one who never shuts up. But even better than that, how about a pause button? You know your boss walks in...."Did I not tell you I needed this completed by (PAUSE!).....yesterday....Oh, I see it's on my desk...Sorry!"
Then of course, you'd need the rewind one. Someone does something really stupid, and the more you think about it, the funnier it is. Just rewind and watch it over and over. Better than instant replay in sports, I would think. Then how about a record button for the cute things your kids do. But my original button that would have to be added would be the "stupid button". Someone asks you a really dumb question (Stupid button pushed) "Oh Sorry, that was really a stupid question wasn't it? Dumb dumb me...!"
I thought of this idea when I was driving home from work yesterday. Which tells you how my brain is pretty much mush by five o'clock. ha.
Update: My boss says the drunk lady "quit" after he talked to her. Uh hum.
What I am looking forward to most this week? It's payday Friday (only get paid every two weeks). What am I dreading the most? Having to work until Friday before I get another weekend!
I haven't mentioned the hearing aid deal lately. I picked up the one I had ordered. It didn't fit right and had this horrible rushing air sound, so I sent it back to them. Then I decided since it looks like any hearing aid you get will have to have numerous adjustments (that's what other hearing aid wearers have said) I decided to get one locally instead of a hundred miles away where the first one was ordered (I was seeing a ear specialist there). Yesterday I went to the new place closer to work, and they were so nice and so helpful. I had a new impression made and my new high tech, has all the latest technology (beam me up Scotty) hearing aid will be ready in a week to ten days.
In the meantime, my doctor had written to my boss to request the company buy me an amplified phone. (According to the ADA, employers have to make reasonable accomodations for disabilities) My boss said to find out exactly what the doctor thought was best. So I go back to my boss and tell him the doctor said any phone that will work with our phone system as long as it is "hearing aid compatible" (which means it has a magnetic flux that makes the hearing aid turn off all other sound except for the phone when you are talking on it. Cool huh). My boss said, well I ordered a twenty dollar amplifier for the office phones we have now....(Guess I should be grateful he got anything, but what happened to him waiting to see what the doctor recommended like he said????) So I guess we'll see how that goes. I did notice that when wearing the first hearing aid, every time I put my cellphone near my head, I got bad static)
Ok, enough on hearing aids....someone push the rewind button...the remote stuff was funnier.
