Well I Tried ...

[Digital Prophet]

So today I am sitting in the conference room nursing my rare cup of coffee (I used to be an adict) and one of my CAD people comes in. Being as I am now a "manager" (whatever) I can't seem to shake my CAD people. Everywhere I go there they are asking questions and what not.

So I am sitting there answering questions and sipping coffee when I notice Alicia, my CAD flunky, is looking kind of down. "So what's your deal? Bad weekend?"

Now first of all allow me to pause for a moment and explain that I am pretty much the same person all the time. If not nuttier offline. So if you have read any of my posts then you can just imagine what it is like to work "for" me. Poor Alicia takes it in stride.

"No."

Ok, I'm tired and my everything hurts. So I am not in the mood for the "nothing" means "something" estrogen evasion. "Look just spit it out b/c I am going to stop being interested in about 5 seconds."

::Sigh:: (Always with the sigh) "I got on the scale this weekend. And I am gaining weight."

"Um, ok."

"Well it's been like 12 years since I had a desk job."

"Ooooooook?"

"And my ass is getting bigger! There!"

So here I realize that she is in a sensitive spot and feeling down. And I try to help. Well I tried:

"Alicia you are being silly. You look fine. Besides (here it comes) alot of guys like a chick with a big ass."

Yeah I stopped for a moment but it was obvious that the incredibly idiotic comment I just heard came out of my mouth. Imagine my surprise. "Hmm. Well I can see I'm not helping, so go take care of that quantity page and come back when you are less murderous."

Well they say it's the thought that counts. But really if there had been any thought in situations like this then there would be no need for a phrase like "its the thought that counts". I'll send her home an hour early and she'll forget all about it.

Prophet out.

Run and hide. The HR PC police will be calling soon.

Try Tinactin for the athletes tongue.

RMFAOL. I don't even know what all these letters mean, but man that was freakin funny.

I thought that was a true statement, she should have been flattered
but just in case, do you have another flunky that you can use as a human shield??

Just bring Pika in to work tomorrow. They will forget all about you.

She won't forget. She'll never, ever forget. :)

I once thought I was giving a good friend a compliment by telling her how great she looked yesterday.

10 years later, she still brings that up...

Keep shooting bridals, and that one day may be soon! LOL!

Hehe :) Danger, danger.... You probably should have dropped it at the "No" response.

I can't stand the 'estrogen evasion', as you so eloquently put it :) We all know 'something' is wrong, so when they say 'nothing' I just press on like there's nothing wrong. It gives me time to prepare myself mentally for the 'release' that I now know is inevitable.

Ha ha ha.. this was hilarious... thanks for the laff...

ROFL- I usually explain that I might have Tourette's They don't believe me but while they are looking up what it means I head downrange and try to put as much stuff between myself and their projectile as I can before it's launched.

I'm going to save that one for future use

Oh my Lord Prophet, you poor, poor man! Do NOT be surprised if Pika winds up missing.
