I just got done updating various accounts with my new Visa card number . . . yeah, yet another one since once again my last card was used at an unknown merchant that was compromised. I didn't have any fraudulent charges, but I guess someone did.

What a pain in the ass.

The expiration date on the cards has become irrelevant. They always get canceled long before they expire!

I’m starting to use PayPal for autopay wherever I can. That way, I can update the credit card with PayPal, and that one update covers multiple merchants.

No, I didn't stick my head into the drive through window. I honestly don't think she had the mental capacity for that

She also wasn't asking me to buy her shoes or for money, just where to get them. When I mentioned the mall I could tell she wasn't too clear on where it was or how to get there

We take for granted all the little things. If I need a pair of shoes I just order them online or drive over to the skechers store. It's a very small time commitment, one of maybe a dozen things I'll do in a day

For that young lady it's a huge deal. I doubt she has a car so taking a bus to get over there and back would take half a day. The money for new shoes is probably a big hit to her financially

Hopefully she has some resources to help her out. I worked in a dish room with folks like her. They all lived in a group home and had social workers looking out for them

I'll go back by today and see if she's working. Maybe ask the manager if I can help. I don't want to get her in trouble though

I was presented with a situation where I could have helped someone and I didn't

For lunch I went to McD. Not my usual preference but it's on the way to my shop and I like that they do the Ron McD house and are generally a decent company. The gal that took my money at the drive through was in a bit of a panic. She took my money and gave change with no issue (the total was something .03 and I gave her $20 +.03, didn't even flinch). Then out of the blue asked if I knew when she could get non-slip shoes

Odd question. I answered that I buy my work shoes at the Skechers store over by the mall and I'm sure that they have shoes that would work for her. She said that her shoes just fell apart and she needed new ones. At this point I surmised that she is special needs and that the shoes are probably part of her employment. She was really concerned about shoes at the moment

So my lizard brain is thinking that I'm self conscious when in the drive through. Don't want to be 'that guy' who holds things up. Once we got to the point where I didn't think we had anything else to offer each other I pulled forward to the second window

What I should have done is ask what her shoe size is, gone over to the store to get her a pair of shoes, and brought them back. They always have a buy one get one half off deal and I go through shoes like Steve goes through cake. It could have been a great day for both of us

Sorry, this is probably the only time I'll be able to legitimately post this and still be on topic... so, thank you for the opportunity, I have to take it.. ...

Reading this just fucked me up. Got me reflecting on my self as I’ve noticed i lost memory power and attention to detail lately.

join the club.

Yer not kidding!

3 times, just today, I have been talking with someone, and thought they were arguing with me. Completely seemed like combative situations. They thought so, too.

I stepped back and took a minute... Then realized we were actually both saying the same thing.

What is happening to logical comprehension?

Logical comprehension is lost anytime a person is only concerned about their point of view and not paying attention to what the other person is saying, and also when they aren’t paying attention to what they said themselves.

And furthermore, it’s becoming more common to be lost due to our ability to easily publish our thoughts at any time. Creating a growing cultural shift across multiple generations of people that are more concerned about getting their point across instead of understanding others.
