12-12-12
My customer was in town to partake in our current snowstorm. She stopped by the jobsite and took a call from a friend of hers who was married today in Anchorage in order to celebrate today’s Triple Twelve. Unfortunately, I was overheard in the background saying, “Let’s hope they don’t get divorced on 11-12-13.”
I did try to apologize for my snarkiness, which made my client laugh, but only further ticked off the newlywed. Anchorage has never been known for its sense of humor.
Nine more days to the Great Mayan Revenge. Personally, I’ll be celebrating the Winter Solstice and the (presumed) gaining of daylight.
Important Safety Tip
Calling a woman, who is anywhere near your own age, “ma’am” is apparently no longer considered polite in today’s society.
It brings about the question, “How old do you think I am, anyway?!” Which is a trick question, with no way out, and should be avoided at all cost.
It also means an afternoon of pop tunes over the radio instead of mind blowing Blues.
I just want my quiet, solitary jobsite back.
What’s a guy to do?
