How to drive me crazy?

Just about anything that requires me to phone a cable company, software company, or business where they have recorded messages telling me how important I am to them. And they are experiencing a heavy call load and ask for my patience in return for near unbearable elevator music. Then almost connecting to an automated voice with selections numbers, to be cut off! Such was the case Tuesday evening in contacting Adobe Software at 10:56 pm. I chose evening as there is less traffic. When I got past the automation, I went on to chat with Mohammed, Deepak, Divya, Garina, Sumit, Garina 2, Akshay, and finally Saransh. All 8 were polite and knowledgeable, as they passed me on to a more advanced technician. At 4:05, I thought I was done, they notified me my case was closed. I went to bed. The next morning, I had no PS app in the app file or toolbar. I found it in the trash?
4 hours! I am slowly recovering.

Custom-Made Bicycle Inspired by Japanese Lattice Woodwork

Hiroto is calling his piece “Kitsure.”

2GN2S #2:

My long time friend Linda, sent me this and Iam sharing.

Sean McCarren, a UPS driver, created a group,

named UPS Dogs, here, which was an instant hit.

It currently has an overwhelming 14 million viewers.

Once you check out the page, you’ll understand

what the fuss is about. These photos are posted by other

UPS drivers who encounter the animals along their route.

The page also features the relationships these drivers form with the rest of the community. Even UPS approves of the page, stating that it shows how lovable their drivers are.

McCarren shares that once you run into the same dogs
over and over, you can’t help but form a special bond with them.
It’s like meeting a new friend whom you look forward
to seeing every day. Pure positivity.

Maybe when time allows, see more UPS animals, here.

And, a puppy pile, live, here,

future Service dogs will melt your heart.
