Why Is It ...

… that people don’t understand that I am taking part in The May Challenge and so I may give a fuck, or I may not.

… that I had a thirty minute conversation with a co-worker about her weekend and when she finished, I said I was billing her for time wasted.

… that when I went to the doctor with a suspicious looking mole, he said, “They all look that way so you should put him back in the garden.”

… that when my boss said to me, “This is the third time this week we’ve had complaints about your attitude, so you know what that means?” and I said, “It’s Wednesday?”

… that when Carlos made my coffee this morning he handed me the cup and then winked at me; I’ve never been more afraid of a drink in my life!

… that people who say they don’t have time for my bullshit need to wake up earlier.

… that while I was getting gas this morning I noticed the girl on Pump #3 was getting $10. Where the hell was she going, Pump #4?

… that my Serenity Prayer goes like this: God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change; the courage to change direction when I see them coming; and the wisdom not to try to smack some sense into them when I can’t avoid them.

… that the coworker who called me a psychopath doesn’t realize that at least I’m on a path while she is still trying to sort out her life. Right, Melissa?

… that I used to party in fields with people I didn’t know but these days too may people in Aisle 5 is a hard no?

  1. Oh, I get it, because gas is expensive, $10 of gas on pump #3 would only get her enough to drive to pump #4. It took me awhile to get that joke. Ha ha?

  3. The mole! Ha! I have a suspicious looking mole like thing on my ear. I doesn't look like my regular moles, which are kind of cute. My doctor with his normal kindly bedside manner told me it was an old people barnacle. I think it's an unidentified life form. It's moving little4 by little. That's not suspicious at all!
    I would like to thank Ellen D for saving my two left -over brain cells from severe burn out, I never would've figured that one out. but I knew that it was probably clever.

  5. Maybe it's that suspicious mole who's slipping something into your coffee and not Carlos?

    1. Perhaps Carlos and the mole are in cahoots???

    1. Sadly, they're not all mine, just things I've heard people say and some I've read and some my twisted mind turned into these!

  9. I also avoid aisles with too many people. Or even with one person if I know that person and don't want to talk to them.

  10. I may need to print the revised serenity prayer. These days it says it all.
    We called field parties, bush parties. And I have trapped moles. They are homely creatures.

  11. I might adopt that Serenity prayer.
