That Crazy Guy!!!

When I was in my early 20s and in college I would get a full time job every summer. Usually it was a mindless receptionist position. I would tell the boss that I was not going back to school (I was) and then I would quit in September (yeah, I know…).

Anyway, in every office there was always a ‘crazy guy’. Oh how we all laughed!! Good old wacky Donald - he’s a hoot!!!

I would be sitting there minding my own business doing my ‘receptionist boogie’ (talking on the phone with a friend) when Donald would waltz by, fiddled with the paper clips on my desk and then begin his hilarious monlogue.

He would catch my eye....throw out a tired riddle...I would give a half smile and a ‘hah’ and hope he would wander away. But he didn’t...he would stand there and start cutting up all the other sales reps (the crazy guy is usually a sales rep). He would say things like
‘that Sam is so cheap he’d eat his old shoes for the leather hahahahahhaha’ or
‘’hey..did you get a load of Walter’s pants? Yeeouch.I think I’ve gone blind..talk about colour....hahahahhaha’.

Then another employee would walk by, flash a smile and exclaim ‘ohh Donald! He is SO crazy hahahahahahaha’

Yeah, crazy Donald! I find that anyone who labels themselves as ‘crazy’ or ‘weird’ are really boring bland vanilla. They are the ‘wanna be nuts’ hoping that having quirks or being off the wall will merit them some character.

It’s usually the stupid ugly people who do this-smart people have their brains, beautiful people have their looks-but if you don’t have either ya gotta be ‘crazy’ wheeeeee

All the ‘crazies’ at work were far from crazy. They were so lame and obvious it made me almost embarrassed for them (if I wasn’t too busy despising them).

There was one in every single office I worked in. If you work in an office-look around.-who is the ‘crazy’ one'? .I’ll bet that that guy (or girl) Is just a big mouth bore. I’ll bet they also leave pee on the toilet seat.

After college I took an evening shift position at a production/pre press shop. I was one of about 20 people. Nobody talked to me. Not even the guy who was ordered to train me.

Every person that worked there was weird/crazy. But it was so refreshing because they all thought they were normal and sane (meanwhile, I was the only sane one).

I remember on my first evening I was behind a bank cutting copy and when I emerged the place was dead. All but one employee remained. When I asked him where everyone had gone he shrugged and said ‘they went home I guess’. Neither my boss nor my ‘trainer’ came to get me. Nobody told me I could go home. And they didn’t even tell me when to start the next day-they were all NUTS.

That remaining guy called in sick a few monts later..his excuse....He bumped his head on the ceiling while making his bed and passed out. Yeah...crazy...

They were quirky and odd and total misfits. I was home! I'm still there today.

Thursday Evening Musings

I would never get a nose ring...don’t you find that everyone with a nose ring will twiddle it or play with it and they always look like they are picking their nose? Who wants to look like a big nose picker??

Why has dandruff all of a sudden being called ‘dry scalp’ hasn’t it always been that? Is it somehow classier/cleaner to have a ‘dry scalp’ rather than ‘dandruff’.

People with soft calm slow speaking voices truly put me to sleep...and not in a bad way. I’ve never known how to tell these people they should do voiceovers for relaxation CDs-they’d make a killing. But they would get all offended and think I was telling them they were boring.....mmm..I’m getting all fuzzy just thinking of one of them...spoke to her today...sales rep...she’s like a candy box blonde...all blonde and pink and chubby...but her voice...ahhh...knocks my bp down 10 points... I purposely keep her on the phone and just zone out..ask her loads of questions.....zzzzzzzz

Why do most humans adorn themselves with metal and think they look like a dog’s dinner? What is it with jewelry and why are people nuts about wearing it? It’s uncomfortable and do people honestly think I think ’oh...look at that gold bangle..she is rich and classy and better than me....’

Doesn’t everyone feel a little like a hot shot when they use their work security tags to bleep themselves into a building/office...that’s right...I belong...

Why are men forced to urinate in front of one another? You know if this were the case for women there would be a massive uproar
'how dare you treat women like cattle!'
'how dare you not respect a woman's need for privacy'

But men just whip it out and start their engines..why?

Here! Here!

Ok..gonna make a concentrated effort to begin slagging everyone on my blog and keeping it relatively updated.

So....do you know which group of people do not get the recognition they deserve?

JUGGLERS

Juggling is amazing and VERY difficult but people are not as impressed as they should be. The hand eye co-ordination that is needed to juggle is something most morons can't achieve.

I wish I could juggle..I would thrill and entertain all my friends. I would be constantly picking up 3 objects (5 when I got to be really good) and casually start juggling them.......

'oh...this.....oh yes I can juggle..thanks for noticing...'

I would be the STAR at all parties...sigh....

People would introduce me as a juggler

'Here's Angela....she can juggle...'

ahh to be a juggler.....

ok..and here is a stupid thing people DO get a kick out of:
Dressing up monkeys/chimps in clothes and making them do 'human things'

This is NOT funny or amusing at all. It is so low brow (forgive the pun) and I do not find these chimps cute at all. They are ugly and possibly stinky. Plus they do not want to be smoking that cigar while playing a hand of poker...They would rather shove the poker chips up their noses and perhaps poo on the table.....

If someone has one of those novelty monkey calendars I know I can not be their friend....

hmmm...I can't be friends with:
1. People with monkey calendars-ok..already told you that one

2. People who say 'basically' too much

3. People who laugh EVERY time they complete a sentence

4. Racist people (I think I am a visible minority and nobody can convince me otherwise)

5. Men with a long nail on their baby finger-what is up with that? why? Do they think any woman wants to have sex with them with that horrible long (usually slightly dirty) fingernail

6. People who are not the slightest bit superstitious-no fun

7. People who SAY they are spontaneous-yeah.....sure you are....

8. People who never have cookies in their home

9. People who swear and then say 'excuse my French'

10. People who fart and then think if they say excuse me you will think it was a ok for them to fart

ok..now I am all riled up and looking for a fight! Oops...being beckoned back to my cage more later I promise

Gawk

Ok..no real time..kids upstairs with dh...

How did I get so FAT?? Yikes!! Just checked myself out in the mirror with just a pair of knickers on......sob........I cannot see through my tears.....what happened?

So...had a grand time with my slutty friends...they polished off loads of wine (I was deemed the designated driver) and were discussing the most scandalous topics at dinner time (having to do with bjs) I was weeping in despair...I wanted to talk about scrapbooking and doilies....sigh...

We did play nicky nicky nine door and ate 5 FULL meals per day.....hmmm...maybe midnight salami sandwich feasts contributed to my fat ass??? hmmmm

Now we are doing 'family things' for this week-both dh and I have the week off....I've noticed that MOST (93%) married fathers have really fat bellies.....most of them are really ugly and yucky........am having to stare at the guys running the tea cup ride to see something decent....sigh....

Ok...so I do NOT have a date with a gorilla.....sigh...I just learned how to pick and eat bugs out of heads.......now what???

Oh..one more thing...it's really true..most women are really crappy drivers...like they are lost in a fog...driving so fucking SLOW and not realizing they are in the wrong lane until the last second and then veering off without any warning! If I were Queen I would not allow women drivers (except me of course-I am phenomenal...) This holds true for most women drivers but 100% of women mini van drivers-they are all really shit! All of them. I hate mini vans. I am usually a very nice driver and allow cars to bud in front of me when their lane ends or whatever...but if they are driving a mini van I don't let them in....I am prejudice.....

Good god of Thunder-I'm backkkkk

A thousand pardons I must beg from you for sneaking off for the remainder of the summer!

But I've been very busy
1. eating Chips Ahoy! cookies
2. working-blech
3. Hollering at my kids/dh
4. I have discovered 'cheese dippers' which are made by the Vache que rit (sp??) laughing cow-I love that cheese
5. I am obsessed with Neil Degrasse Tyson-who hosts the program Nova (PBS) every Wednesday night-which was a designated night to write on my blog..now I am watching Neil (my new boyfriend) instead

anyway, that's my excuse!

Nothing to say.....I am off for a fantastic long weekend with 3 girlfriends. We are going to a small town and are going to play a few games of nicky nicky nine door-well-I am going to play which will force them to play.

We also will drive from restaurant to restaurant...call down to hotel management with some sort of complaint.....read cornball magazines.....boss each other around and give unsoliciated advice (one year Tina tried to convince Rosie and me to quit our jobs and become dental hygienists..hygieneists...hygenists......hrmph....

Soooooo...what's new with you?? I see I am being set up with a gorilla......swooonnnnnn....you beast...stop....stop........

So Annoying!

Coughs
You know why they call it an 'annoying cough'? Becuase it's fucking annoying to the person listening to it. Never mind the a-hole coughing....man, I hate listening to people cough. Right now dh is coughing like a Rothmans smoker and I want to strangle him. And the worst part is he always gives ME glares when I cough my ladylike coughs.

I suppose coughing is horrible all around. It's awful being the cougher-you CANNOT hold in a cough no matter how many dirty looks you get.

Yellow/Orange Candy
Why do they bother putting in yellow or orange candies in a pack? Everybody hates them. Why not all red and purple? I'll bet yellow and orange are cheaper to produce. Even in a package of popsicles why do they bother with the yellow and orange ones? They are always last to go. The wallflowers of the box..sadly waiting for someone to choose them and then suck them..

Stinky Burps
Is there anything more annoying than someone who burps and then you SMELL it? A burp odour is enough to turn you off of the food the burper just ate. Except chocolate..I'll bet burped choco still smells divine

People Who Think They are Intellects
People who take real words and then add letters to them are quite annoying. They think they are saying/writing it correctly but they are not. Which just proves how stupid they really are. Some words that stupid people misspell (mispronounce) are:
irregardless (regardless)
anyways (anyway)
ironical (ironic)
basically (they say/spell this correctly but it still drives me nuts. Only dumb people say this word)
And the grand daddy of them all
'Whatnot' every dumb person uses this word to bridge the gap between their stupid thoughts and they think they sound like Einstein.

The Name Shirley
All Shirleys are annoying. They also play bingo but never win.

Ok..dh is reading this over my shoulder and making comments....very annoying...I am now laughing at my horrible joke....

The Sky Is Falling

Sometimes, I am sitting around minding my own business when these feelings of impending doom come crashing down.

I think, ‘one day, when I am surrounded by people, I will laugh so hard and a big piece of snot will come flying out of my nose' .It WILL happen one day. What am I gonna do? So I begin to mentally prepare for this disaster….play it in my mind. Can I blame the flying snot on someone else? Do I see where it landed? Can I retrieve it? What will I say? Make a joke? Pretend to faint? Ignore it? WHAT???

It’s very annoying being me… When everyone else is fantasizing about winning the lottery or telling their boss to fuck off, I am wringing my hands figuring out how I am going to handle barfing on the subway, or being stuck on an elevator when I really have to pee-it’s very tiresome.

Even if someone is walking behind me I fear they may (2% chance) strangle me. I fear everything including the infamous anvil plummeting towards my noggin.

How do you stop pretend things from happening? Logical answer: by doing pretend things to prevent them of course!!

So, I am very strict in following superstitions-sadly many of them I made up.

I absolutely MUST get in and out of bed on the same side. My sister Anna who is even more crazy has allowed herself to loop-which means if she gets out the other side she can then get back in the wrong side and proceed to exit on the right side.

I also MUST ALWAYS put my right shoe on first. This is not so troubling unless I am at a shoe store and they just offer me the left shoe to try. But being the master of deceit that I am I just let them know my right foot is slightly bigger so I need to try that one first.

Hmm..what else….I used to never finish reading my book if it landed on page 13 (or page 113 or 213-you get it) but since having Andrew who was born on the 13th I figure that number is now lucky for me so sod that! Oh and my sister Anna again is even more crazy. Not only can she not leave her book on page 13 but if all the numbers ADD up to 13 then she must continue to read. EG-pg 67-6+7=13. Or page 193-1+9+3=13…yeah…I know…

I am far too posh to worry about the standard-walking under a ladder or black cat crossing my path...for me they must be more intricate...have more 'guts'.

Oh, if I drop my comb I must step on it whilst chanting 'Good Luck' sometimes I add 'you dirty duck' but that is not necessary to ward off evil....

So I happily live my life inside my head and everything is just fine provided I follow my rules......wanna join me? There's a secret handshake!!! And we eat TONS of cookies...
