There's some old colleague visiting the Sales Guy who shares my cube area.
Old Colleague has called our receptionist "the little gal" twice.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We have all seen his website, right?
Man I hate that guy. I would never eat at a restaurant he owned. I'd be lectured about my food so long that I'd die of starvation first. That crap belongs as a blurb on the menu, that I can read or not, if I friggin' want to.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sarameg, sending good vibes to Mr. Kitty. I hate it when pets get sick. In a weird way, it upsets me more than when people do. I guess it's because the pets can't talk, and we can't explain to them what's going on. They just have to trust us. And so often they do, which really amazes me.
I love Audrey Hepburn. Those are great pictures. I want some elbow-length gloves like in that fourth picture. Does anyone know where one might find such things?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Sean, that's the kind of talk that's holding back the restaurant industry from being elevated to lofty heights of cuilnary excellence beyond the wildest imaginings of mere mortals like us.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

OMG KICK HIM IN THE GROIN
Sorry. Having been called "sweetheart" several times by a couple of condescending fuckwits at work (and having narrowly stopped myself from launching myself at their jugular like some flying vampire squirrel), I have zero tolerance for crap like that.

Clearly Jess, I am not fit to lick the man's boots, let alone be allowed in his restaurant.
AND THANK DOG FOR THAT!

I find that a looooooooong pause with sustained eye contact and a polite "I'm sorry, were you talking to me?" tends to make them stop. But, only if they were doing it inadvertently.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Dana - feel free to kill him. no one would convict.
conversely, you could call him son or old timer (which ever would be more condescending) and start asking him to do things for you.

Yeah, I was kind of surprised at how irritated it made me. At least he's not talking to me. But really, buddy, join the 21st century. She has a name.

My husband calls people "sweetie" all the time and I cringe every time. I've tried to explain the condescension part to him but he does. not. get. it. He thinks he's being friendly. It is so embarrassing.
