I've
been trying really really hard to not complain about the economy. After
all, I am a commission sales rep and the media's incessant need to
present an environment of doom and gloom does not, and I repeat does
not, help my cause. Happy, secure clients spend money. Clients so fear
struck that I have to pry them out of the fetal position DO NOT spend
money.
Well,
last night I reached my limit. I paid $1.69 for a head of iceberg
lettuce. Yes, I know the price of milk, eggs and gas have been going up
exponentially, but this just tipped me over the edge. Organic mixed
greens? Fancy leafy greens? Those handy-dandy bags of pre-washed salad
mixes? Sure. But, iceberg lettuce? I am outraged!
Alas. I bought it. And. It is tasted pretty freaking good, sitting on my deck, eating the first grilled burger of the season.
