OK, I'm a grumpy old man; Where's Ann and Sophia?

I admit I have something in common with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.
No, I'm not dead -- not yet.

I have become a grumpy old man.
The only difference between me and the movie characters Max Goldman (Matthau) and John Gustafason (Lemmon) is that I don't have Ann Margaret and Sophia Loren around to cheer me up.

I'm not sure when I became a grumpy old man.
But I am -- so deal with it.

I get pissed off when I order my bacon CRISP and the waitress brings three pieces of something that looks limper than my ---- no, I'm not going to say that.
Then last week I went to the drug store to pick up some prescriptions and there were six or seven people working in the pharmacy. ONE ONLY ONE WAITING ON CUSTOMERS.
The other five were laughing and talking about what they were going to do over the weekend.
I already knew what I would be doing. STANDING HERE STILL WAITING ON YOUR SON OF A B. (no, I won't say that either).

I also get frustrated with some of the crap that goes on here at the paper.
And in true life Matthau-Lemmon style, I say what I think.
Problem is nothing I bitch about will probably ever get fixed.
The bosses will just shrug and say to each other -- "Hey, it's just Nick -- He's a grumpy old man."

I wish Ann Margaret and Sophia Loren were here to help me get ungrumpy.
