I feel as though I should premise this post by saying if you’e busy today you probably should get back to what you’re doing because I’m pretty sure this post is going to be about, um, not much.
Having said that-and now that all the busy people are back on their merry way doing whatever it is they do- let’s have fun!
...
Although, we probably shouldn’t have too much fun since I just told all the busy people to get back to doing whatever it is that they do…
Can you keep a secret?
Me too.
We won’t tell the busy people that we’re going to be having SO MUCH BLOG FUN today, okay? That might make them feel bad.
And unproductive.
Anyhow- want to know another secret?
Okay- so I have this really talkative person working with me. I don’t mean- drones to you for 15 minutes about how their feet sweat really bad in dress shoes and that’s why they always wear tennis shoes.
I would welcome such chatter.
I mean talks to you
all
the
freaking
live
long
day
to the point where you (ie: ME)- the nicest person in the world- really seriously contemplates what would be more beneficial: shoving a stake in my right ear so I wouldn’t have to hear this person talk anymore (they never seem to talk to my left side...weird) OR shoving a stake through their vocal chords so the would be rendered speechless.
I’m pretty sure both would warrant jail time
or worse!
I might be suspended from my job (ahahahahaha… worse. that’s hilarious)!
Actually, the way things go around here there’s a good chance I’d be promoted.
“Brittny?”
“Yes Boss?”
“We’d like to promote you!”
“Really!? Wowie! I knew all my diligent work and long hours to the point of not recognizing my husband would finally pay off!”
“Diligent work and long hours? Uh, er, yeah. That’s it. Actually, we were really impressed with the stake through the throat trick and were hoping you could come to our next board meeting and get all Buffy the Vampire Slayer on us.”
I’m pretty sure that’s how the conversation would go.
My first day back in the office I decided that from now on I was going to be positive about my job, darn it.
5 minutes later I decided I was an idiot and should just go into survival mode.
I think The Talker might have been what put me over the edge.
But enough about mindless talk (don’t you hate when people go on an on about absolutely nothing!).
I am so mad at my keyboard, guys! Since I’ve come back it sticks all the time and I have no idea why! I’ll be typing and all of a sudden will be in CAPs for no reason, or I’ll have a string of sssssssssssssssssssss because it got stuck.
One of my coworkers was all, “Huh. That’s weird. It’s like someone spilled soda on it.”
Random. I now know why it takes me an hour to type THREE FREAKING SENTENCES!
Another coworker chimes in, “No one has touched it when you were gone.”
Uh, I’m pretty sure that’s a lie because Ms. 7-Up over there just sold you all down the river.
This keyboard situation also contributes to my lack of patience with The Talker.
Or vice versa, I haven’t made a decision.
Alright, moving on…
Want to know another secret (wow- I had no idea this post was going to be full of so many confessions!)? I was randomly on adoption.com today.
Why?
Why was I doing that?
I have absolutely no idea!
You all know I have no desire to mother children (at least for another 5 years and even then I’m not sold). Why would I do something so crazy?
I don’t know.
Ah- I remember.
It’s because on my internet’s homepage it talked about finding “free” money and somewhere in the article it talked about help for adopting parents or something like that. So- being curious- I googled the cost for adopting a chid.
See- my reasons are totally transparent and justifiable. I’m still holding strong.
If there are any comments about this venture I will fly to America, come to your house, and go Buffy the Vampire Slayer on you. I got promoted for that, you know.
Let’s see, what other pieces of useless information about my day can I tell you…
Not much. I’m having a near anxiety attack about possibly standing up for myself on a certain issue. Every time I get ready to hit send on the email, I chicken out and find an excuse not to send it. I started writing it Monday and here it is, almost Thursday and it still hasn’t gone forward. I’m such a wuss.
I need to go blow in a paper bag now. Just thinking about it gets me all sick feeling like I’m sitting outside the principal’s office and have no idea why, but know it can’t be good.
Hey- we said this was going to be a fun post! What the crap am I doing talking about gasping into a paper bag? There’s no fun in that.
Moving on-
There’s just not a whole lot worth reporting today, ladies and gentlemen (hmm, are there any guys that actually read? I don’t think so, but to be safe I must encompass all, right? I guess while I’m at it I ought to address animals, plants, the elements, and well, anything else). It rained today (see post below) and it made me incredibly happy. It’s been so long since I’ve seen Kuwait wet. I literally feel like shouting aloud the 2 whole days it rains here.
Alright, I’m starting to ramble and just when we thought this post couldn’t get any more boring- it did! I fear I did not hold up my end of the bargain when I promised SO MUCH BLOG FUN! Ha ha, oh well.
I’m off for now. Have a wonderful day!
<3

Even on your self proclaimed, “boring” posts you’re entertaining! You have to let us know if you get promoted for taking care of “the talker” because I have one (ok, five or so) here and that sounds like a really good idea! (Not at all psychotic.)
