Me: “Okay, sir. The email is sending now. It will just take a moment. There! Sent!”
Customer: “Is sent?”
Me: “Yes. Your agent should get the email any second now.”
Customer: “Oh! Am so happy! Happy like SQUIRREL!”

I had to post this one. It’s too cute.
Not Always Right is a blog that posts funny quotes from retail customers.

It’s released quarterly, and there have only been two issues so far. The whole issue was filled with great short stories, but I particularly liked "Backfill" by Scott Nadelson in which a man reexamines his life and the people around him.

I finally hit the Elite rank in Beat Hazard today! I say finally, but I think I’ve only clocked a couple hours in the game. Still, I think it’s a really terrific game.
