Huh. Whodathunkit? I killed the thread. Maybe this will help - cute story from work.
Yesterday at work, the client, A, who sometimes gets violent, channeled her energy into conversation. A lot of conversation. She told us about seeing a baby in the doctor's office at her last appointment, and said, "You have to be nice to babies."
New boss lady, M, responded, "You are supposed to be nice to everyone - babies, children, and grownup men and women."
"Why?" A asks why a lot.
At this point, M had reached conversational exhaustion, and could not come up with yet another satisfying answer to A's endless questions. So I rescued her with, "You have to be nice to everyone, but you don't have to be nice to a one-eyed, one-horned, flying, purple people eater."
Which brought on the giggles from all around the room, and inspired another client to start singing. Soon, A and R were on an infinite loop of the song. I told M I was almost sorry I had said what I did. After a few choruses, A's pronounciation had degenerated into "One-orned poopoo eater". Which may or may not have been deliberate. Either way, much more fun than wrestling her to her room to keep her from attacking other clients.
About to start Nightmare on Elm Street 4. This is too many in a row. Only 4 more to go.
:: wonders if ND will have nightmares tonight ::
Who knows. There is a good chance I won't. I'm so numb to most of these movies at this point...
whew that was an airtravel ordeal. Oddly enough I ran into a friend of yours at O'Hare, ND & Omnis. Ellen and I hung out for a bit before her flight was cancelled and my gate was moved. Very odd seeing a familar so-cal face at the Z-99 terminal end of O'Hare.
too funny! "It's a small world after all"
How she doing?
She was handling the airport stress a lot better than I was, but her company was paying for the hotel room she had to acquire after they cancelled her flight so that definitely helps. She's on her way to Toronto for a trade show.
I ended up back at my friend's house in the war zone Mount Prospect with no power for the few hours of sleep I got to catch before the next flight out at 6:00 am. Check out the storm damage
my life is a series of progress bars. Currently running:
- Downloading HALO-2 maps to 360
- Converting Cello video to Quicktime from DVD
- Downloading bootleg Steve Miller Band my Bro sent me.
Boy do I know how to live it up on a Friday night! ;)
We're watching "Home Movies" Season three.
Effing cats woke me up this morning. It was my first day to sleep in in a while and I was looking forward to it. Will I never learn that life likes to thwart me?
I have no idea why my cat is meowing, since he's got all the essentials. I think he just wants to go downstairs, but if he does that he scratches the furniture and no. He's driving me bonkers!
