That last post was certainly whiny, and I’m having no more of that. Let’s just get that off the top of my front page, shall we? Miss T is much the same today as she was yesterday, so there’s no real point in worrying about things that haven’t happened yet. That’s my policy with things like car accidents, major illnesses and personal economic crises, why should a little thing like ear infections be different? SO. Moving on to stuff that is more fun!
Yesterday BB and I were chatting and suddenly I realized that there was a story she had not heard about someone who used to work for our company. I unfortunately (or, fortunately, depending on how you look at it) wasn’t around to actually bear witness, but instead heard this story from the poor soul who did. Shortly before I started, apparently there was a woman hired who ended up lasting for only three days. Supposedly she interviewed fine, seemed nice and normal and did not smell offensive in any way. Then on day three she showed up to work smelling like flea dip. You know, the stuff you use on pets. So when questioned, the woman matter-of-factly replied that the smell was indeed caused by flea dip and she was using it “to get rid of the scabies.” I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard in my life.
Speaking of work (segue!), I have decided to stop going out of my way to hide my tattoo while on the clock. I mean, all I do to cover it is wear a watch with a wide band and it peeks out from either side of the band anyway. I’m sure that most everyone I work with is already well aware of it, since a lot of them read this blog (hello, coworkers!). And I’m quite sure that the ones who don’t already know, probably don’t give a rat’s ass whether I have a tattoo or not. So. From now on I’ll just wear what I want in terms of jewelry, and I’m almost willing to bet that no one will notice either way. Because contrary to what I may want to believe, no one pays THAT much attention to me all the time. Which is obviously their loss. 🙂
