This strip may be from 2010, but still feels relevant today…

See how effectively airlines and other companies have relieved the stress on their employees. Allowing computers to deal with all these unprepared and incompetent customers. All that stress free work place and the customers still pay for the ticket/service. …sigh

He’ll be drinking Ensure and taking brain booster capsules before he knows it.

Irving should have let Cathy make their travel arrangements for them. She knew there were better “deals” to be had on the airline tickets a month ago and would have gotten it done sooner — and probably with a whole lot less trouble — than he’s been having by doing it himself! :-D

Hello and Happy Tuesday, fellow Cathy fans. Hope you all have/had a really nice day today! ♥

I am not a grampa yet (although I am old enough) and I do sound like this every now and again. Irving has illustrated the main reason I do not bother carrying a smart phone – I cannot read what is on the screen without an extra set of eyes so why bother.
It is a great Tuesday today (I got the lawn mowed before the rain started again) so I hope everyone is enjoying it.

Our insurance has robocalls that require you to enter the health insurance of the person they are calling. Even if you select the option that you need more time, not enough time is allowed to get the card out of your wallet, much less type it in. I guess I will never know what they are calling about.

Yup—technology’s a peach, ain’t it?
It’s at this point that I’d chuck the phone out the window …
HI, MOM. Hello, “Cathy” Clan.
