RE: The Odd Pairing Of Frank And Tom Mix
So the work isn't getting boring yet? It doesn't sound like it. Your wife wants you to do more housework because you used to do more when you were working at home?
Oh, I don't think so. There's enough variety going on. It can get frustrating, though. I thought I might be past having key problems, but today there were two locks I couldn't get into that I used to be able to open. One was on an empty small toy dispenser. I basically torn the key trying to turn it in the lock. I didn't break it, thank goodness, but it's just dumb, when I've been careful not to tighten the locks too tight, and yet somehow this one won't budge.
Someone likes to stick toothpicks and other stuff in some of these locks and so that also makes it tough to try to get a key in so it can turn the lock.
My wife just wants more and more done. You get done with one thing, there's a million other things behind it. Kind of like an iceberg. :)
Sir glen! Do you try to do more houswork like she wants or do you just don't worry about it?
What happens when you have a lock that's had a toothpick shoved in there and you can't open it?
I have my fits and bursts, but by and large, I do what I feel I can and should, and then try to spend the rest of the time that I'm not working or sleeping on STEEM. Haven't been doing such a great job in the post publishing category (or any other for that matter) for at least the last couple of weeks.
Yesterday I didn't get home until around 8 pm. I was going to write a post and then decided I was too tired to get into it and went to bed.
re: toothpick
So far, I haven't known what to do. I've only managed to remove a part of something (not even sure it was a toothpick) from a padlock, so I was able to get into that. The other time a padlock had a toothpick stuck in it, they used bolt cutters.
I found someone had jammed some wooden pieces (not really a toothpick) into a coin slot and that managed to jam it up enough as quarters were put into it. So, they're making the rounds and expanding their vandalism empire. :)
Howdy today sir glen! Well, as much as you're working I think you're doing a good job of getting some posts out. It would be super easy to just relax and not worry about it when you get home. Unless you're addicted to posting.
Does that happen often, the sabatoging of the locks? That makes no sense, I guess it's just done out of orneryness.
My guess it's boys between the ages of 7-12 who think it's fun to jam toothpicks into whatever holes they can find. If it's teenagers or adults, then it's worse than I'm thinking, and there being ornery is the least of it.
Yeah I guess if someone is ticked because they lost out and didn't get what they wanted from the machine then they could take it out on the machine.
Very true. In some cases, strong drink is involved. :)
Let's see if this works again.

I forgot about strong drink and the machines being in bars! lol. yeah.
Oh, are the engage tokens working again?
