choke Luckily, my mood to choke a co-worker struck right around lunch time, so I was able to leave the office and get away for awhile. And what do I do when the mood strikes to choke said co worker? I go to Walgreen’s and buy ridiculous amounts of nail polish. The lady in the cosmetic department knows me by name, and probably knows my credit card number by heart.

Never in my working career have I had trouble with co-workers. In fact, I married an ex co-worker, and many of my closest friends are ex co-workers. This one is just trouble…bad bad trouble. I’m doing everything in my power to just stay away from her, and yes that includes spending money frivolously.

What would you do if the mood strikes to choke someone? (hypothetically speaking of course)

P.S. (Happy Birthday Jane!)

Have you ever wondered how many points your name is worth in the game Scrabble? I haven’t until today. HA!

What is your score? Get it here. Then tell me in my comments your score.

It would be super cool if you posted this on your blog, with a link back to me!

I feel the need to blog, although I can’t think of anything to write.

Hmmmm…

  • Michael, J.R., and I went to dinner at the Outback tonight. We haven’t been there since my mother came to visit in March of last year. All our “friends” were still working there, and our favorite bartender and server are getting married in March. I feel awful for not going in and visiting them sooner.
  • I got the boys new cell phones today. They needed an upgrade. Now I want a new one even though I am perfectly happy with the one I have. Well…until I saw the new ones!
  • Insecurity…it’s hitting me hard tonight, and I’m not sure why.
  • We got the movie “Tears of the Sun” from Netflix today, and it had a big crack right down the middle. I went to the website, and reported the damage. They said to send the damaged one back ASAP, and they would ship a new copy tonight. I’m impressed and satisfied.
  • We have a big night happening this Saturday. We’re going to the show Cirque du Soleil - Mystere (a gift from my bosses), then Michael’s company, Zappos.com, is hosting a party at the top of the Stratosphere. They have rented the entire observation deck for a private party with open bar, food, and unlimited ride passes. Free food, free alcohol, and unlimited thrill rides at 1,149 feet above the ground. It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I will be there with my camera. HA!

See…just start writing, and you will come up with something!

I seriously have a problem with socially inept people. I mean really! When they open their mouths to speak, is there any brain activity in that stupid head of their’s that might for a second think, “What I am about to say is probably inappropriate, so I better just shut up.”

Example:

Normal Social Guy - “My wife is dragging me to the mall tomorrow to go Christmas shopping.”

Socially Inept Guy - “Isn’t that about the time you pray for another mall shooting, so you have a good excuse to leave?”

What the hell is wrong with people?????????
