GRUMPY GRANNY: Why do you feel that you're on a path to hell, and what are you going to do to get off of it...assuming you want to get off it?
Hmm, well, work's been stressing me out b/c I sit outside of my boss' office and listen to her b!tch all day long about how unfair the company is treating her. OVER AND OVER I listen to her tell different people on the phone and start crying and rambling on. If she runs out of people to tell on the phone she calls ME in to tell me AGAIN. Over and over again until someone else crosses her path to tell.
Then she asked me AGAIN to give her a ride on Monday (today). I feel like I can't say no. I mean, it's not like I have somewhere else to be. Which traps me in the car with her for more than an hour of the same conversation about how put upon she is. Over and over. I am so sick of hearing it that I could literally jump out of the moving car at 70 mph. I ended up calling her on Saturday and telling her I won't be at work on Monday for some b.s. excuse. I'm losing a vacation day - but I just couldn't stomach the idea of being stuck in a car with her again.
Yet she still had the audacity to call me back and tell me that she couldn't find another ride and could I still give her a ride, which meant going from Fairfield to Wilton to Greenwich then back home during rush hour traffic on a day when I didn't even have to leave home. To which, again, I felt like I couldn't say no.
Jess had a cow though -- so I called back and said I couldn't do it. What a frickin' mess.
I have no idea how to get out of this without reporting her to HR which will only make things worse.
DARLENE: How do you eat your ice cream cone?
With my mouth?
Just kidding -- typically I start at the base and lick whatever melted ice cream is starting to drip over the edge. Then I follow it in a circular motion around the circumference of the cone until I reach the top where I typically insert the tip of the cone into my mouth and close my lips around it.
I repeat this process until there is only ice cream flush with the cone where I begin to insert my tongue into the cone to remove the ice cream that is lodged inside.
Once the ice cream level has dropped I then nibble the cone down to the ice cream's new level and repeat this process until there is only the nub of the cone left.
Which is when I insert the rest into my mouth and chew.
Good question! ;)
VAL: When you take a shower, which do you wash first, body or hair? And why?
If I'm going to wash my hair -- which those of you with curly hair know, you can't do everyday -- then I start with my hair because I need to get the conditioner in there as soon as possible so that it can stay in my hair the entire rest of the shower.
Otherwise, I start with my hoohoo first then work my way around. LOL
EVA: If you could describe how you feel about each of your friends in one sentence per person, what would you say?
Oy, couldn't make it easy, could ya. Ok...
There's way too many friends to name here -- so I'm just gonna stick with the ones who posted questions.
Since you asked --- you're first:
Eva: From early on, Eva proved herself to be a generous and trusting friend.
Grumpy Granny: Though a relatively new online friend, she's got a quality to her that I value in a friend.
Darlene: For someone I never met, I've never felt like I've known them so well -- it's bizarre.
Val: One of the most surprisingly cool people I know and I'm glad to count her in as one of my closest friends.
Sassy, WhenWit and Weese: New to me from Blogfriends and/or via Val -- but I'm hoping to be get to know that entire group a lot better.
WEESE: What is your favorite color?
Black.
SASSY: What are your favorite healthy and unhealthy breakfast cereals?
They make healthy ones??? Umm -- hmmm... Healthy: Special K red berries are good. Uhh... let's get to what I really like. Unhealthy: Cap'n Crunch, Frosted Mini-Wheats (do these count as healthy??), Trix, Lucky Charms... you know -- all the stuff that my mom wouldn't buy when I was a kid. LOL
That's all folkz!
Day 3 smoke free! ;)
6 comments! Pls comment.:
Baby! I'm so proud of you, of us, for not smoking for three whole days! Here's to living the rest of our lives in good health. :)
Whaddya say we head over to Dairy Queen and get a couple of ice cream cones?
Lord.
Good answers! Good answers! And thanks for the kind comment, too. ;-) I am sorry to hear about the mess you are in with your whiny boss. In my experience, this kind of thing will not stop until you are able to calmly and firmly stand up for yourself to her. Try to figure out a way that you can tell her that 1) you are not her chauffer just because you offered her a ride ONCE. 2) that you can't listen her HER life-drama at work, because you have, um, WORK to do, which is why you are there in the first place. Think of it as a life lesson. I have had to deal with similar situations in office settings. Getting up the courage to do something like this is way worse than doing it. Just remember to document, document, document, and if SHE goes ballistic, YOU stay cool. It sounds like her life is so miserable that she is what I call an "energy vampire" sucking the life out of everyone around her and then moving on to the next "victim". Don't let her do that number on you. Stay strong! And yes, hooray for you on 3 days of not smoking!!
Hang in there!!
GG
Yea! I'm glad Jess had a cow! Somebody has to save you. lol Want me to call her for you? I'll tell her I'm your mother and that she is affecting you emotionally. lol
Ahhh, Captain Crunch!!! I love it! Could eat a whole box by myself. ::sigh:: Never again. Only 7 days till surgery, then liquids for two or three months. Nothing solid till about Dec. Yikes!
Oh and ditto on the comment. ;~D Of course EVERYBODY does know you. LOL
By the way, GREAT answer on the ice cream question...I have to go take a shower now. And, if I were Jess, after reading that I would so want desert with my ice cream. ROLMAO
dammit now I want some ice cream...
I like the changes on your blog. Interesting answers
Good taste in cereal, healthy and unhealthy!
I return the sentiment about wanting to get to know you and Jess better. :)
