Scenario. I'm sitting alone in my work space. Changing my shoes. A co-worker walks by. She says "what's wrong - you aren't smiling". I'm thinking to myself, "now would it really be normal for me to be sitting by myself in this cubicle, changing my shoes with a smile on my face"....who does she think i am? Mr. Rogers?

but I didn't say that. I just said, "nothing. I'm fine" and flashed a quick smile.

i never understood why people always thought you need to have a smile plastered on your face in order to be content, at peace, or happy.

i understand the above. give the other person credit, they're not trying
to be stupid or irritating [probably]. with some folks it's a habitual response.
with others it may be a cue to some situational insecurity. it does get old,
though. a fried of mine put it well ... "i don't walk around with a coat hanger
in my mouth".
best.

pet peeves :
~ breaking off the pivot tabs on CD cases.
~ remembering i left something at the house.
~ choking on water.
~ getting punked by an animal.

When a sup, mngr, or vp calls or sends email w/a large request expecting the overnight team to take action at 6:55am like they don't know we get off at 7am.

► looking for a CD only to remember that i gave it away 3 years ago.

►sloppy drivers who cut the corner on left turns.

(contradiction - but when i do it, its okay, right? - I gotta stop too)

When there is more than one elevator and you are almost late, but if this person didn't just stick their umbrella in between the elevator doors? you would have just made it. So now you're on the elevator and this happens about 2 more times.

Its like the elevator won't be able to close -or everyone has forgotten that there are other elevators. What is the weight capacity on this thing anyway? Do we really need to be crammed in the elevator with each other's umbrella's dripping on us?

I'm just saying

Speaking of elevators - people who just rush on as soon as the doors open, even if people are trying to get out.

When people want to ask for a favor, but they start by asking leading questions. "Are you doing anything?" Just tell me what you want, and I'll tell you if I can do it.

Well cats I understand...because I think if I was a visitor and saw my cat...he would punk me - quick. He's very confident and everyone says, he acts like a person.

He's an oriental tabby / egyptian mau.
