OVERHEARD AT WORK

“I’ll show you my stuff if you show me yours,” Keaonda said.  “What can I say? He rubbed off on me!”

Holla back.

It has become clear to me over the past few days that I hate, hate, hate it when people don’t respond to me. Whether I’m talking to them, calling them, emailing them, or whatever else the case may be, if I’ve gone to the “trouble” of trying to get in touch with someone, I don’t think it’s unfair or unreasonable to expect SOME kind of a response. “I’m busy.” “I’ll have to talk to you later.” Or even “I hate you… piss off!” Getting no response at all is pretty insulting. It sets the impression that they couldn’t even be bothered with me, and that’s just rude.

Now, I realize this may make me seem demanding, among other things. And, honestly, that’s fine if you really wanna think that. But, as demanding as I may seem sometimes, I’m really very easy to please. It doesn’t take much to keep me at bay. Some people just don’t care at all and I’m all set with them.

“Biggest” Product Placement

I really don’t like it when, during “The Biggest Loser”, they very poorly disguise an advertisement for a product by staging a moment between the contestants and the trainers.  Example:

Fatty: ”What can I do to avoid eating cookies when I get the munchies in the afternoon?”

Bob: “Try a piece of “Extra [brand] Sugar-Free gum.  It’ll satisfy that urge to have something.  It will save you hundreds of calories every day.  And it tastes great too!”

Fatty: (high-fiving) “Great, Bob!  Thanks!”

The only thing that’s missing is the big white smile that sparkles and makes bell noises.

Happy birthday, Princess Kayla!

The big 3.  Vapors.  No… vapors, vapors, vapors!  Get it?  I said it three times… because she’s three… oh forget it.

Cold Toilet Seats

Yep.  That’s right.  I said it.  And You know why?  Because a cold toilet seat is a fool-proof indication that nobody’s been there in a while.  That means any, um, “unpleasantness” will be at a minimum.  Who can argue with that?  You’ll never curse the cold toilet seat again.  You’re welcome.

OVERHEARD AT WORK

Come to find out, while I was gone, I missed some good verbal diarrhea. Here’s a recap:

• Lisa Anderson “Right Here” declared, “You’re goin’ deep on me again.”
• Wal-Mart chimed in with, “Oh, you’ve got ‘em doin’ it?”
• K/T-bot let it slip that, “I’m trying to find where it feels right.”

Touching Base (snickers)

I know, I know.  You’re feeling neglected.  I haven’t given you much entertainment lately.  MY BAD!  I’ve been busy!  What with being on vacation and all.  But I’m here now!  Better late than never, right?  Right?!  Don’t play hard to get.  You’re here by choice!

BTW, happy new year! :P
