… that a coworker was talking
about people’s looks and she announced that she believes everyone has a good
side so I told her she was a circle
… that it was only five years
ago when people weren’t allowed to get close to me and I miss those days
… that after all these years
my boss still doesn’t get me. Last Friday I said to him, “Since it’s the last
day of the week do you mind if I take a longer lunch.” He said, “No problem,
when will you be back,” and I said, “Sometime next week.”
… that as a white man in
South Carolina I am terrified people will think I’m a Republican.
… that some of you come from
the “If you stop crying I’ll buy you something” generation while I come from the “If you don’t stop
crying I’ll give you something to cry about” generation. We are not the
same
… that people forget that
karma can’t do everything; learn to insult people sometimes
… that people don’t realize I am sarchotic … so sarcastic
that you can’t tell if I’m joking or psychotic.
… that I giggle when I get an
Unknown Caller on my phone; I rarely pick up even when I know the person
… that sometimes you’ll be
listening to someone yammer on and on and on and realize that their frontal
lobe hasn’t fully marinated yet
… that most days I really
don’t feel like crushing it, so I’ll just crinkle it a little |
You would think, after nearly two years of social distancing, that people would just get that my personal space is at least 6 feet...ten would be better.
ReplyDeleteI also grew up in the generation where crying for any length of time got you that reminder. I tried it with my kids and social services was called. :p
On the other hand, just a few moments with you would tell anyone with half a brain, you are not a Republican.
True, as soon as I start talking it's clear I'm a raging liberal!
DeleteYes, THAT generation. I’m too impatient to wait for Karma. I create it myself.
ReplyDeleteOur generation had it rough!

Crinkle it? You are an overachiever. I'll just poke it a few times around the edges.

See, you make me look like I'm working!!!
DeleteI'm from the "give you something to cry about" generation too.
ReplyDeleteThese younger gens had it easy!
DeleteAh, the fear of being a white man in a red state must be truly terrifying.
ReplyDeleteLuckily I like in a city with a Democrat Mayor and a county with a Democrat state senator!
DeleteI actually answered a phone call on Friday!
ReplyDeleteIf I don't know you, I don't pick up. And even then ......
