electronic funnies
hilarious email excerts from today's electronic mailings:
"we're returning it because the helmet isn't made to be worn and we wanted to wear it."
"man I can see it now, we're gonna be eating mac and cheese for the next year."
"sometimes i feel like i need to have a spanish/english dictionary with me when i'm with her. and whenever she starts speaking in spanish, i've learned to pretend i know what she says by nodding, or not respond at all."
"shaddup, stupid."

after almost 27 years...
...i've learned that no matter how much i care, some people are just assholes.
...i've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion to destroy it.
...i've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others -- they are more screwed up than you think.
...i've learned that you can keep vomitting long after you think you're finished.
...i've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.
...i've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.
...i've learned that even though you take the farthest stall in the restroom, someone will take the one right next to you.
...i've learned that family will always be there for you...always.
...i've learned that nasty people from my past will rear up their ugly heads when you least expect it
...i've learned that guys only want one thing and that girls want everything.
...i've learned that using an eye lash curler can hurt like heck.
...i've learned that talking a lot of smack is cute but backing it up with skills is hot.
...i've learned that laughing to the point that you pee a little in your panties is not healthy.
...i've learned that beneficial relationships make you feel numb inside, but shit, they're hella fun.
...i've learned that there is no such word as 'herstory', its 'history'. stupid blog title.
...i've learned that when it rains, it pours,
...i've learned that when people say that "the grass is always greener on the other side", its alright to reply back "thats the biggest bucket of shit that i've ever heard! go screw yourself!".
...i've learned that avoidance is the only way to deal with difficult people because confrontation labels you as a bitch.
...i've learned that people will always stab you in the back but you eventually get used to it and it becomes less painful.
...i've learned that karma does exist and you'll get whats coming to you -- two-fold. God bless your soul.

its been a pretty hectic day/week/month/year at work. we got bombarded with upcoming deliverables and due dates at this morning's team meeting. the past 3 hours have felt overwhelming. theres just not enough time in the day to get stuff done. my work environment is very busy -- overstuffed rooms, multiple people sharing a single cube space, loud conference calls, meetings taking place in the hallway. i was walking down the hallway to get some chips from the vending machine and two people were intensely talking so i couldnt walk by. i waited for them to notice that i was standing behind them and one of them said "sorry abby about that". the smallest thing can make my day and i love it! ive seen that manager so many times and never thought he knew my name. sweet.

my mgr gets a
. i leave first and start walking down the hallway and i know my mgr is walking right behind me so i start singing "what would you do for a" then i look behind me and its Cute Consultant Guy! he starts laughing and remarks "i had a feeling you were going to sing that". i get all embarrassed and start to laugh my nervousness away while my mgr and CCG keep laughing. it was pretty funny though because i was really singing too.
oh well. i should've replied to CCG "keep laughing so i can get an open-mouth kiss from you".
