In Which I Am Observant, Part Three

Have you ever noticed that the only time you ever seem to drop your keys in the driveway is at night when both of your hands are full of groceries?

Have you ever noticed that your most embarrassing pair of underwear always falls out onto the floor when taking your laundry out of the dryer at the laundromat?

Have you ever noticed that the mayonnaise you cooked part of dinner with was expired after you finished eating?

Have you ever noticed that your printer will run out of paper just before printing the last page of a multiple-page document?

Have you ever noticed that as far as days of the week go, Wednesdays seem to last the longest?

No?

Well, I have. What have you noticed this week?

I've noticed that the people who think they word the hardest in the office don't.
Oh yeah and with you on dropping the keys! When you forget to leave your light on at night and you live in the country and there's no moon, well you've got no street light for back up. It's a bit awkward.

Oh! I meant WORK not word...typing too fast I guess! :-)

I've noticed that the more you want a specific day to be here, the longer time draaagggs on and on.

I've noticed that the more pregnant I get, the worse I feel.

I've noticed that my family (including my menagerie of pets) seems to know when I'm feeling terrible and insist that I do more and more for them.

This week I noticed that the one type of batteries you need for the only radio you own, are the only type you don't have enough of (C batteries, need 8, have 6). I also noticed that the power comes back on right after you already drove across town to give away all your groceries to people who have power. I also noticed that when you can't have it, pizza is the only thing that will satisfy your hunger.

I have noticed the expired mayo thing before after eating.

I've also noticed that my brain refuses to work when superhero from hell kid germs take over your body and make you incredibly sick for longer than you can imagine.

Moonspun: My boss (who claims he works his tail off) really only walks around the office, sipping coffee. He's kind of an asshat.

Aunt Becky: That kind of goes along with the "worse the headache, the louder the world seems to be" thought.

Heather: Pizza ALWAYS satisfies hunger.

Lola: Superhero kid germs from hell... Sounds like a lame sci-fi movie title.

I have noticed that on days when I am determined not to get irritated at people at work, the idiots start harassing me the second I get there!

I've also noticed that my vendor chooses to do the least amount of work possible to get the job done and that amount is zilch. Idiots.

Canya tell it's been a long week at work? And yes, today was the longest day.

I've noticed that I'm becoming an Old Maid.

I've noticed the batteries in the computer mouse ALWAYS give up just as I'm in the middle of uploading an image on my blog - never happens to anyone else, only me, dammit!

But I also found that flapping my hands around and making hyper-ventilating noises brings somebody running over to change them for me - when I'm alone I just change them myself ;-)

Won't you please describe your most embarrassing pair of underwear?

Badass Geek said...

KT: One of the reasons I am glad to work from home... I avoid all the idiots in the office!

SWAX: Maids are HOT, though.

Scatterbrain: My most embarrassing pair of underwear? The oldest pair I own, which are a little threatbare, have lost almost all elasticity around the waist, and have a hole in the upper thigh from a box-cutter incident (went clear through my jeans and my boxer briefs, but not the skin).

Wednesdays are my Fridays at work. I start my weekend on Thursday and my week on Saturday. And by the Gods I hate Wednesday. It's the day where the most people are at work, and the world always seems to catch on fire. I'm always running about like a chicken with it's head cut off, until about 1:00 PM when I finally decide to hide for the last two hours of my shift and let other people sort things out.
