OMG, someone in this big meeting I've been in for two days is apparently having surgery to have a fifth wisdom tooth pulled from behind her eye.

As much as it sucked, I'm glad mine got yanked at 17.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yikes. I had my fifth pulled with the other four, but I was keeping all of them in my mouth.

You know that overextended joke from Family Guy, where Peter goes "AHHHHHHH" a lot?

Yeah, brenda just made me make that noise.

Seriously. And she mentioned this in the freaking "fun fact about me" get-to-know-you crap. Eeuueeheesh.

This I'd totally do.

In fact, if breasts weren't involved, I'd tell my lumpectomy story really early on. But I just want to avoid the staring.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Brenda works with the Corinthian! Run, Brenda!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I've mentioned my TMJ surgery here. Anyway, before I had it done, I was telling a coworker how weird it'd be if, say, halfway though the surgery there was a nuclear war and I had to leave the hospital with my upper jaw detached from my head and just hanging there....

She got all grossed out and couldn't believe I would talk about such things....

The funny part was you could look around the room and see forty people all feeling up their jawlines and temples and trying to figure out how the hell that even works.

Other things I learned this past couple of days:

Along with the crappy note pad and pen, a little egg of silly putty at each seat = GENIUS!

Our new team member is a keener of the highest order.

There is no age or career level at which a gold star sticker ceases to be a serious motivator.
