Up Your Nose With A Rubber Hose!














I Use To Say That To Vent My Frustration. Today I Take Aim At Any And All Weather People. Included Are The So Called Meteorologist. How About Don't Pee On My Leg And Tell Me It's Raining.....
Ok, Let's Get To The Root Of My Problem. I Host An Outside Weekly Rummage Sale. I Depend On The Weather People To Do What They Are Trained To Do. I Don't Pay Attention To The Radio Stations Disk Jockey's Report Because It's Their Job To Read Whatever Is Put Under Their Nose. I Do However Expect A Certain Amount Of Professionalism From Those Who Went To School To Become A Meteorologist. All Of Their Fancy Equipment, Maps, Illustrations, Graphics, Are Useless If They Cannot Make A More Accurate Prediction. There Was A Time I Was Having A Sale When Out Of No Where Rain Began Pouring Down. It Was Not Predicted. The Weatherman Didn't Even Say,,,Oops!
I Have Cancelled Sales Because It Was Forecasted To Rain. Sometimes It Would Not Rain At All.
So You Think It's The Meteorologist I Am Attacking? Partly. I Guess One Of The Worse Situations Is When Somebody Approaches Me After It Did Not Rain. They Say, You know, It Did Not Rain. Yes I Know This. Your Point? You Could Have Set Up Because I Knew It Wasn't Going To Rain. Do You Think I Care If They Knew It Wasn't Going To Rain? I Rely On Trained People To Determine Whether It's Going To Rain. Certainly Not A Backyard Weather Predictor. If They Don't Get It Right My Frustration Is Pointed Toward Them.
Every Time I Sit A Week Out It Cost Me. The Sales Are What Bring Revenue In To Pay For Gas And Other Cost To Keep Me Going. Not Only Is It Frustrating, It's Very Costly When I Have To Cancel.
It Infuriates Me When Someone Rubs My Nose In It After It Does Not Rain On The Day I Cancel. Like, Hey I Told You So...
I Really Would Like To Have A Job With Cool Looking Graphics And Instruments Just To Tell You What The Weather Did Yesterday. Get Paid 60-70,000.00 A Year! That Would Be Fantastic!
Realistically I Would Prefer The Naysayers To Just Mind Their Own Business. I Seem To Get It From All Angles Throughout The Summer.
I Think From Now On When I Cancel A Sale Because Of Forecasted Rain, I Will Just Tell People I Didn't Feel Well. Maybe I Just Wanted The Day Off. I Don't Appreciate Being Proved Wrong When I Rely On Someone Who Is Suppose To Be Right!
I Have Been Playing The Rain Game For Years Now. The Bottom Line Is All Of That Stuff That Fills The Parking Lot Is Not Their Responsibility. It Takes Me 2 Hours To Set Up And 2 1/2 Hours To Shut Down. That Is 4 1/2 Hours Just Opening And Closing.
Starting Today I Refuse To Let Anybody Get Under My Skin When It Comes To My Decisions On Whether I Have A Sale Or Not. You Never Know, I May Decide To Have A Sale Just Once A Month. I May Decide To Have A Sale In The Middle Of The Night. Whatever I Decide Will Be My Decision And That's The Way It Is.
