Hello folks, Happy January, 2022. It is brand new year, let’s see how it goes this time.
Many of my devoted readers already know this, my son’s a tech-expert, computer repair person, and various other management and supervisory positions person at America’s favorite office supply store, Staples.
Perhaps once or twice a year he gets some very interesting customers Whether in person at the store on on the phone, some folks just make you step back and ask yourself, “Did I really hear those words coming out of this person’s mouth?”
A Lady calls Staples looking for tech support. My son took the call. She needed help with retrieving a password for a computer.
My son asked her a few questions about the computer and had Staples ever done any work on it.
She told him she brought it to Staples 3 years prior, so the old laptop’s photos and files could be copied to her new laptop. But, since it’s been a few years, she cannot remember her computer’s sign-in password. She asked him if he remembered the password when he worked on it, or if Staples has a copy of it so she could log on.
I'll be narrating this part in my son's voice ...
Sorry Ma’am, we don’t store that information here. We do the job that is required, get the computer updated and running and get it back to the customer.
“So, then, I can’t open my laptop and use it ever again if I can’t remember my PW?”
Well, it’s possible we can use recovery tools, but you’ll have to bring it down to the store for us to do that.
“I have lived in Florida my whole life, and I can’t tolerate the cold weather up North. Can someone come out to my place and fix it?”
I’m sorry, Ma’am, that has to be done on the premises.
“You know, (her voice in a low whisper) I have to be careful. My family is trying to kill me.”
Silence on the other end.
I’m sorry to hear that Ma’am! Have you contacted the police? This is not within our job description.
“It’s okay, I stay alert. I’m always one step ahead of them and their plans. I’m in a safe place right now.”
Okay, Ma’am, so long as you feel safe. However, this job you require needs to be done in our shop.
“Well, I guess since I’ve waited three years to use it, I can wait until the milder weather arrives in the spring and bring it down then.”
That sounds like a good plan, Ma’am. Whenever you’re ready, we’ll be here at your service.”
“That’s wonderful! Oh, can I call and make an appointment, then? I have to plan it ahead of time because I need to give them a twenty-four hour notice here before they can arrange for my going off-grounds. I live at Shady Knoll Manor, (her voice drops to a whisper) but, I think they are in on this with my family – they might be the others who want to kill me.”
 Mic drop moment.
It's a wrap for this edition of the Comedy Newsletter.
Until next time--laugh hard, laugh often!

Question below. I will give out an MB to the response I like the most. If there are many I like--virtual dice will choose. All you need to do is reply to this Newsletter's Comment space. 
This is the last month of me living in my current decade. Next month is my birthday and I'll be starting a new decade in my life. Should I quiver in fear of that next decade? Or, should I lie about my age?
I know, I'll just lie to myself . No way am I turning ... 
However, the one birthday I remember that made me feel like I wasn't a "kid" anymore was my 30th! Transitioning between 20s to 30s seemed harsher to me than when I hit my 40s.
My question for you is:
Have you faced a birthday that even shocked you, realizing you are that age?
If so, which birthday was it in life that gave you such a feeling?
For a chance at an MB! 
See you next month, folks!
