… 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.
Yes, THAT generation. I’m too impatient to wait for Karma. I create it myself.

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