Numbers Update/Stupid people

So my numbers have been a bit higher than they had been the past week. I'm sure that my work schedule didn't help, and flying on a redeye really screwed my body up. I was pretty sedentary today. I Was 120 before dinner, then 102 after dinner. Very odd. I still haven't had a coke, but I was tempted to have just one today since I have 3 bottles sitting in my kitchen left over from my party as a mixer.

As I've mentioned before, I hate stupid people. Tonight, my father fell into that category. He's having to switch email accounts, and expects everything to be handed to him. He's going to comcast.net. He thought that I should know how to set up his email account for him. I told him if he just googled comcast.net set up email mac that it would return a page that would have the answers for him, probably with pictures. Sure enough it was the third one down. I sent him the link, and he didn't want to read it. He wanted me to tell him what to do. He ended up yelling at me thinking that would help me hear him better (he was on speaker phone, which I HATE). He made the comment "You must be difficult to work with." I don't think I am, so long as you don't expect me to do everything for you. I'll tell you how to find the answers, or how to figure it out, but I expect everyone to pull their own weight. Even my dad.

Hi there.

I've had similar conversations with my mother about formatting Word documents. :) Anywho, just wanted to say if your father is still having trouble with his email, have him contact our team or email us his account info and we can call him. It's our job and we'll take the frustration off your plate. :)

Have a great weekend!

thanks for the offer of help. All the information he needed was right there on the web, easily accessible to him. He just wanted to take the easy way out and have everything spoon fed to him.

I appreciate what you guys do day in and day out. I know I certainly don't have the patience to do it.
