This chick at work drives me nuts. Her M.O. is to come by my desk later in the evening when everyone else has left for the day (she also comes in later so it’s just the two of us oftentimes). So she comes over and starts rambling about an email that I just sent 2 seconds ago… to which she had already replied. I’m sorry but do you really need to jump up and run over to someone’s desk when you send them an email?
Anyway, I’m not writing this just to show you how bitchy I can be. I’m writing it because as she was droning on endlessly I kept thinking about what I was gonna eat on the way home. “Oh really? Your son graduated from high school this year?” Like every other half-wit teenager in town? “Oh, that’s great.” Please, why do I give a rats ass about your little Junior when I could be downing a couple of Taco Bell items right now.
The good news is that I made it outta the office without punching her or saying anything to make her cry… and I ate a normal dinner without going over the edge. I did eat some Ben & Jerry’s Frozen Yogurt, but it’s the kind w/ 3 grams of fat per serving rather than the 12 grams in what I would normally get.
It was a good day regardless of the annoying bug-eyed rambler.
