… that I want to start booing
people during conversations that don’t interest me.
… that when I was a kid I
could fall ten feet off the monkey bars, jump up and yell, ‘I’m fine,’ but
these days when I try to scoop ice cream that’s a little to frozen I dislocate
my shoulder.
… that I find myself at that
age where the only club you’re gonna catch me at now is Sam’s Club.
… that my friends don’t
understand how to text with purpose. I can’t be Hey, Heying everyday….
… that male bees have it
made; they die right after mating. That’s their life. Honey. Nut. Cheerio.
… that most of my co-workers
understand what I’m saying just by my facial expressions, eye rolls and slights
twitches, but the ones who don’t will do so soon enough.
… that I don’t always go the
extra mile but when I do it’s because I missed my exit. … that there is nothing
funnier than hearing a work friend use their fake customer service voice in
public and thinking, ‘That’s not the real you.’
… that if it’s the thought
that counts, I’d probably be in jail by now. |
I have often gone the extra mile, and my thoughts are positively criminal!
ReplyDeleteGood thing we don't have a Thought Police ... yet!
DeleteMade me laugh, mission accomplished.
ReplyDelete😊 😊 😊 😊
Delete😚 I wasn't in front of a mirror, but I'm pretty sure I blushed at "Honey. Nut. Cheerio." 🤭
ReplyDeleteThose poor male bees, right?

So true as we age, and there is no way of aging gracefully. So true of the work place, that at times can be a hell place where you have to keep your sense of humor. -Rj
ReplyDeleteif I wasn't laughing at work, I'd be in handcuffs.
DeleteRe. the second-to-last one: I bet my co-workers say that about me all the time!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend with a Fake Work Voice and I always dog her about it.
DeleteSomeone told me that kids have soft bones and that's why they can bounce up like that. I think it's because they weigh less, so gravity hasn't the same impact. Whatever the reason, I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteWhatever the reason it's not fair!!!
DeleteEye rolls! A colleague once told me she couldn’t look at me during management meetings when our boss was speaking for fear my eye roll would cause her to react. And my thoughts can be deadly…
ReplyDeleteI have been told the same thing!
DeleteI once asked a good colleague at work how he managed to show no emotion at the stupidity coming out of the brass' mouths in our meetings and he said he imagined that he was a fighter pilot silently shooting down enemy aircraft. With my expressive face, I knew that wouldn't work for me because everyone would be seeing Snoopy and the Red Baron in a dogfight before their very eyes!
ReplyDeleteMany of my staff have told me that I can't pull off a non-bias face---They tell me they know how I feel about something by my face even though I am talking through my ass---I just can't pull it off---That's why I always say "What you see, is what you get!"
DeleteI have that same ability to let whatever I'm thinking, as someone else speaks, fill my face.
DeleteHell, I'd be in cell next to you dear.
ReplyDeleteWell, now that would be fun!
DeleteGoing the extra mile on the way to Sam's Club....

Maybe the universe is saying, "Don't go there!"
DeleteYOU just made me laugh out loud, sweetpea! Thank you for that. xoxox
ReplyDeleteI imagine you could use a laugh this week with all that's happening around you.
DeleteI'm glad you posted since it shows me that you're okay.
xoxo
I always would want to boo at Frump like that old lady booing in the movie Princess Bride..

He certainly needs to be booed, permanently.
DeleteIf it’s the thought that counts... Too true! Oh, and the fake customer service (or work) voice. I’ve known people like that and it made me crazy. And honey, nut, cheerio. I did chuckle aloud.
ReplyDeleteLuckily I keep most, not all, of my thoughts to myself!
DeleteIt's a bit sad that male bees only get to mate once.
ReplyDeleteBees are more matriarchal, you know, with the Queen Bee.
