… that I've NEVER seen long lines of pro-lifers lining up to
be foster parents.
… that unless you’re music, I kinda prefer not to listen to
you?
… that sometimes my road rage
is so bad that I wish I could Bluetooth into someone’s car and cuss them out
through their speakers.
… that they still call it a “vacation
request” when it’s more of a “vacation awareness” because I’m not requesting
anything, I’m making you aware that I won’t be in this week.
… that even though I keep my
mouth shut, sometimes, you can read the subtitles on my face.
… that nothing seems to last
longer than a video someone is showing you that you have no interest in.
… that back when I was trying
to find the Yee to my Haw, all I could find was the Hell to my Naw.
… that I don’t always tolerate stupid people but when I do I’m probably at work.
… that self-discipline is so
hard? Is it because I’m the boss of me and I run a really loose ship?
… that HR says I’m no longer
allowed to answer the phone with, “For fuck’s sake, what now?” |

ReplyDeleteLots of chortles!
xoxo :-)
I should call it "Chortles"!
Deletexoxo
Pro-lifers are mostly a crowd of hypocrites; a small bundle of cells deserves support and protection, a small hungry cold child never.
ReplyDeletePriorities are all wrong.
DeleteI never answered the phone that way at work, but I have said that to my daughter when I'm answering her 8th call of the day. She is now limited to three calls a day. Wish me luck, as I'll be living with her in less than a week's time.
ReplyDeleteIf you're living with her will she still try and call??? 😀
DeleteThere is truth in the bit about subtitles, been there and done that with the videos: I've a friend who insists on showing disc golf videos.
ReplyDeleteOne person's interests do not necessarily interest all.
DeleteThanks to you, my new band name is "Facial Subtitles!" 🤨🎶
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good name!
DeleteOMG ... I love them all! ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks Marcia!
DeleteI especially identify with the facial subtitles. Balder Half says my mouth doesn't have to say a word because my eyes are like loudspeakers. Everybody else gets windows and I get loudspeakers!
ReplyDeleteI think you and I are quite similar in that respect!
DeleteOh, I wish I could answer the phone that way. And also say it to people who walk up to my desk. (Who may be as young as fifth graders.)
ReplyDeleteYeah, saying that to kids might not fly with HR!
DeleteYou have summed up my life to date, sweetpea! Especially this one: "… that self-discipline is so hard? Is it because I’m the boss of me and I run a really loose ship?" xoxo
ReplyDeleteI always tell people, "Try living with me. Even I get annoyed by me a lot."
DeleteHR says I’m no longer allowed to answer the phone with, “For fuck’s sake, what now?” Quite right too! You should answer it with: "Hi! I hope you are having a great day! It's Robert Slatten here but you can call me Bob. How may I help you?" Your tone of voice should be lively and upbeat.
ReplyDeleteOh, you're killing me here! 😀
DeleteAll good ones this week, thanks.
ReplyDeleteOf course!
DeleteHa! I love the facial subtitles. I have a serious problem with those.
ReplyDeleteIt's a gift, isn't it?
DeleteI remember years ago my SIL showing me a video of her friend's full Catholic wedding and I'm thinking "what the f..k do I care about this"? Well turns out her husband was the videographer and he forgot to turn the camera off when he was dashing from inside the church to the front of the church to get set up. All we saw was his feet running through the grass, climbing over the fence, etc. It was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S a video worth keeping!
DeleteAdd that Bluetooth feature and you will make a fortune, probably won't live to enjoy it, but people will buy it. I asked me staff to please tell me when they were taking paid time off, so I could have it on my calendar and to rest assured that I would never say no to their request. And Yes, there were times when I wanted to answer the phone with that line. Brilliant collection this week.
