When one of my co-workers was describing another, she said, "He's so grumpy he's like the Anti-Mikey!"
When one of my friends was discussing the culture of the law firm where she works, she was worried they might have a "don't make pets out of livestock" attitude. (i.e., if you're a lawyer, don't befriend the secretaries.) I told her if the cows are really friendly, why not take them home??
My friend and I at work are always complaining about the garbagey stuff we have to do, and how each project seems to be worse than the next. When it gets too bad to bear anymore we "eat the frog" -- that is, we do the absolute worst project first, just to get it out of the way.
Which reminds me...
2. Three really gross things:
a) papercuts on your eyeballs
b) the severe Poo Smell my V train rolled through last night
c) stepping on a toad in your barefeet. (that one's courtesy of Lisa.)
3. Happy Holidays!
My mom and I are celebrating the Fake Jewish Holiday of Rosh Shopshanah tomorrow, and making the customary (and highly religious) pilgrimage to the outlets at Woodbury Commons. While there, we will tithe a portion of our income to the retailers, bow down to put things into our shopping bags and fast while we're in the stores. Now that's my kind of religion!
4. I Hate Sore Throats.
The only things I hate more than sore throats are:
- maggots in my trashcan
- walking on eggshells
- barf
- rude people
- last-minute cancellations for no good reason
- paint fumes (especially if the paint is an ugly color)
- door slamming neighbors
- ill-flushing toilets
- and people who don't pick up their dogs' poos in front of my house.
5. I love days off.
Things I love as much as days off:
- funny looking dogs
- blueberries
- the breeze that smells like autumn (but only if I have a jacket)
- my dad
- cash-back bonuses
- good smells
- that light in someone's eyes when they really seem to understand you
- hilarious emails
- sleeping late
