Hello All, sorry it's taken so long for me to start posting on this thing.  I'm more accustomed to my journal and good old fashioned pen and paper.  I guess I gotta suck it up and get with the times (at least a little bit).

More to come soon.  Stay tuned....

Perspective
Posted on 01/12/12 in Uncategorized

Today I met with my part-time intern Liz at my favorite local coffee shop.  While we were hashing out ideas about adding improvements to my website and current marketing campaign, we got on the subject of computers.   I had been complaining to Liz about the exorbitant cost of Apple's replacement accessories, specifically my Mac laptop wall charger.  A new adapter costs $80.  Outrageous!  Well, my formerly-Apple-Store- employed intern agreed with my assessment; and, to my delight, she proclaimed that, if she ran the show, all accessory items coming with an Apple product would be replaced at no additional cost for the entire life of the original item.  YESSS!!!  This is the R.E.I. warranty model that I love!  (Put that in your billion dollar pipe and smoke it, Steve Jobs!).  But, then Liz went on to add that during her tenure at The Apple Store, an irate woman, upon hearing of the shocking cost of a charger replacement, threw the charger at Liz's face, hitting her square in the eye!  Holy W.T.F., Batman!?!?  My first question was, "are you serious?"  Liz's reply was, "yes," delivered in that blase, disinterested tone she usually reserves when describing shocking events.  My next question was, "didn't it hurt?"  Again with, "yes."  And I said, "didn't you press charges?  Did you have this woman arrested?"  That's when Liz added calmy and sardonically, "No. Both my parents are lawyers."  I don't even know what that means, but I found it intimidating nonetheless.  It has something to do with Liz's natural deadpan delivery.

I realized then that Liz is, indeed, one of the coolest people on Earth.  For years, I've complained about the items that were hurled at me during my long tenure playing rowdy college bars and Irish pubs.  I have no right to complain.   If people are willingly and openly winging blunt objects at the eyeballs of young ladies in Apple Stores, then Whole Foods clerks and Starbucks baristas aren't safe either.  Who will be next?  Girl Scouts selling cookies door-to-door?  Will an angry woman fling a carton of pricey Tag-A-Longs or Thin Mints at the cute countenance of a pre-teenaged girl?  Is Steve Jobs costly adapter responsible for the state of the Universe?  I guess we all need perspective once in awhile.
