… that I think people who ask
"Can I call you?" are so sweet. I mean,, obviously you can't but you're so
sweet.
… that my patience is a lot like a Gift Card; you never know
how much is left on it, but you can give it a try.
… that you live your life hoping to find someone who is
obsessed with you and wants all of your time, and then you realize that person
is your boss.
… that people who want to be my friend have to understand that I don’t want to talk every day. … that when I walk into work and my boss says, “You’re
late,” I reply, holding out my cup, “It’s pronounced ‘latte’ but thanks.”
… that as I grow older I realize that pleasing everybody is
near impossible, but pissing people off is a piece of cake.
… that worst part of a fender bender is getting out of the
car and having to meet a new person.
… that NASA can receive data from 47-year-old Voyager 1,
which is 15 billion miles from Earth, but it takes me days and days to respond
to a text from a friend in town? |
"It's pronounced latte," LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt is true! Luckily, my boss gets my sense of humor.
DeleteThese are marvelous. My current 'now that I'm older' folly is that I can't stop myself from confronting people who are breaking the law or being irresponsible or being negligent. I want them to be held accountable. I want them to own their bad behavior. Trouble is... one day I'll run into one that the only thing they want to own is a gun.
ReplyDeleteI worry about that as I drive and cuss out asshats on the road!
DeleteI am definitely in the pissing off vs pleasing phase & I don’t see myself leaving there anytime in the future…😎
ReplyDeleteIf I please you, that's okay, but if I piss you off, well, you probably deserved it!
DeleteThese are great, Bob!
ReplyDeleteThanks; we could all use a laugh these days!

ReplyDeletemuch chortling!
xoxo :-)
Always room for chortling!
Deletexoxo
Just like "the dog's mother," I also chortled. And, a few times, I even guffawed! 🤣
ReplyDeleteThen I have done my job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
DeleteObviously you can’t. Oh how I wish I could say these things out loud sometimes!
ReplyDeleteTry it in small doses!
Delete"that you live your life hoping to find someone who is obsessed with you and wants all of your time, and then you realize that person is your boss." LMAO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen anyone says to me, I'm late, I reply- Hmmmm no, I got here when I wanted too.
I am rarely late, but when I am, I say the exact same thing as you!
DeleteRe. the fender bender -- not only a new person, but an ANGRY new person!
ReplyDeleteYes, that, too!
DeleteIn my case, it's family who need to understand I don't need, nor want to talk everyday. I've tried telling my daughter, I don't want to hear a word out of her until I've had my first cup of tea. She still hasn't got the message, even when I go to my room and close the door! She just opens it and keeps on talking.
ReplyDeleteYou need a deadbolt!
DeleteI usually ask someone who wants to call me "why?"
ReplyDeleteOr .... Why is it?
DeleteGood ones :)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteYou please most of us with every post
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, sir!
