Why Is It ...

… that pets are great for companionship or if you want to trip and die while moving from room to room  … and I am looking at you Consuelo!

… that people forget that I will match their respect but I will top their disrespect; don’t play with me.

… that my top three assumptions at the sound of a doorbell are: 1. It’s a murderer; 2. It’s the police telling me someone has died; or 3. That book I ordered about positive thinking has arrived.

… that people don’t understand that I identify as clumsy and my pronouns are Oops, Ouch and Oh no!

… that when people think my post is about them I ask them why? Did they find something in their size? Something from our new Guilty Conscience Collection.

… that while I am mentally at the beach, physically I am at a meeting I didn’t ask for.

… that some people don’t get that I am not saying I hate you, I’m just saying that if I had to choose between saving you and a cactus, I’d water the cactus.

… that you need to realize that I don’t start drama, I just finish it with better comebacks.

… that you don’t see that I am not ignoring you, I’m just giving you the time to realize how irrelevant you are to me.

… that it infuriates me that Chicken Lips went to HR and now we can’t use nicknames at work any more.

  1. As someone with an HR background, I understand the meaning of Chicken Lips better than most.

    1. To be fair, we never REALLY had a chicken lips but we had two Rebecca's and one had a horrible spray tman so most of us called her Orange Rebecca.

  6. Ha! When I was in college some friends and I knew a guy we dubbed "lobster lips." Perhaps a relative of chicken lips?

  9. And I am looking at you, Dudo and Moose! A friend of ours here tripped over her dogs last month and fractured her leg in three places. Chicken Lips is a buzz kill.

    1. You really have to watch Consuelo because she walks right in front of you then doubles back and down you go!

    2. Moose does the same or leads the way and then suddently comes to a dead stop. Dudo races around like a maniac and regularly makes us stop short.

  10. Boy if we couldn't use nicknames at work I would be in big trouble. Some nicknames are funny and some are not so nice!

    1. We had Racist Karen for a spell, and her nickname suited her.

  11. I wonder what your nickname is at work? Possibly Sponge Bob Squarepants... or simply Bobbo - a kind of confectionery.

  12. Sugah,

    I'd venture a guess that your imaginary friend has request that the court issue a restraining order for you.
