I Guess That Makes Me a Vegetarian Too

LOL today at work this lady came in and ordered turkey, then as I'm finishing it up she say's "thanks, it's for a vegetarian." Now this did catch me off guard, and while I'm sure I shoulda just kept my mouth shut I was thinking there must be some mix up or something so I'm like "wait, the turkey is for a vegetarian?", and she responds "yes, he doesn't eat pork". At this point I decide it's definitely best to shut up. But considering I don't eat pork either, I guess I'm a vegetarian :mellow:

 

In other news, I was a total jerk for a good part of the day. I don't even know why really, ostensibly it was a good day, lotsa nice things happened. Like we got paid today, our boss gave us our christmas presents early (sweatshirts), and I ate lunch with my friend (the one who said men and women shouldn't be alone together), I definitely think we're making progress. Anyway I was still kinda grumpy all day. I think we all were actually, and I guess it just wore off on me too. Then at one point things got a little tense between me and another coworker. We've got a very complicated history, and I think I, undeservedly, have less patience with her. It's really not fair, someone else could easily get away with alot more, but she's hurt me a few times and I'm just more likely to get defensive where she's involved. Which sucks because for the last couple of weeks things were almost back to normal with us. Then at the end of the day she just unexpectedly announces that she's decided to do me a HUGE favor, by taking my shift tomorrow so I can work on one of the two VERY long papers I have due for finals, Monday and Tuesday. I felt like a real jerk after that, actually I felt like a real jerk while I was being grumpy and irritable, and I still couldn't stop it. It also made me feel bad because I'm worried she just did it because she wanted to smooth things over. And it worked too, I was instantly over the rough spots during the day, and all smiles where she was concerned. I hate how shallow I can be. Anyway I don't want her just doing this because she feels like she has to so that we can be "okay" again. On the other hand, it's a nice change since the only way we fixed things last time was by me being relentlessly nice, friendly, and cheerful with her until she got over it. So maybe it was my turn anyway. Of course I think I was being unfair to start with. Oh well I need to learn to be less moody, already knew that.

 

Anyway I think I'm going to do something truly stupid and walk the mile and a half or so to the bank and make an ATM deposit. Yeah it's cold, dark, and windy out, and I'll have to walk along a busy street to do it. And of course I could just drive or wait till tomorrow. BUT I really think the walk will clear my head.

 

Anyway take care everyone! and look I managed to keep my post to four paragraphs! LOL I'm going to keep that New Year's resolution to be concise yet! ***hopes no one notices his last post on Dom's page about DD17 :rolleyes: ***

Dear Kevin:)

 

Don't get down on yourself for a tough day..as to the moody co worker..maybe you do something nice for her for helping you out with your shift..I bet she won't expect that and it will take the wind out of her sails..so to speak...hmmm..maybe a trip to B and N to find that cute sales guy for some help:)

 

I am betting there is a connection to being moody with two very LONG term papers for finals?

 

hmmm..just a guess..

 

who knew...if you don't eat pork, you are a vegetarian....well, I eat bacon..leaves me out of that category.

 

good luck with finals....your mood will pass when the papers are done.

 

be careful traveling/walking in the dark on a busy street...don't be like Rory and forget your cell and make sure its charged.

 

Ok, Mother Michael is done...LOL

 

study hard and good luck:)

 

Michael

 

P.S. thanks for your concern over my sinus/flu/cold/virus yucko stuff....all I have to say is besides the meds....chicken soup really does amazing things and has helped me a lot:)

 

see, again, no vegetarian here..unless chicken counts..that really is a funny story!

Heya Kevin!

 

That lady seemed a bit confused...lol. I don't eat pork or poultry or beef or lamb or fish so what does that make me? A carnivore? :blink: I haven't eaten meat since I was 14 and my mother still asks me if I would like chicken or ham with my meal!

 

This morning I was working at the local markets and I was working with a lady who is a farmer. She was telling me a story about a time when she was selling some cucumbers. A man came up to her and wanted to buy some. Nita had apple cucumbers for sale and not the lebanese variety. He said he preferred the apple cucumbers to the lesbian ones....lol (Of course he meant he didn't like the lebanese cucumbers). Nita said that she didn't think he even realised what he said and she struggled to keep a straight face!

 

Kevin, give yourself a break...no one can be happy and cheerful and friendly all the time...especially when there are papers to be completed and exams looming! Accept the generosity of your co-worker with good grace and remember you've done nice things for her in the past and you will continue to do nice things for her in the future. As a young friend says 'coolies'.

 

Now I want to echo Michael and ask you to be careful when you go to the ATM. No matter how safe the neigbourhood is, it's still dangerous to be wandering around, alone of a night. If you really want to go by yourself, make sure that someone knows where you are going and that you have your phone fully charged. I personally would take my dog with me. He's a huge rottweiller with big white teeth and his coat is black, so in the dark all that you see of him is his teeth! Mind you, he is scared of the dark and loud noises...but no one knows that...hehehe.

 

Cheers

Thanks for the concern Michael, I'm glad the chicken soup is helping, and hope you feel better soon. Also I really don't blame my coworker, or myself, it was both of us and the bad pattern we often fall into. At least this time I think our tension will be limited to that one day (as opposed to a couple of weeks last time).

LOL Bev, reminds me of a few years ago when a friend and I were trying to decide where to go for lunch. My friend turns to me and says "hey why don't we go to that Lesbian restaurant you like". LOL he too meant LEBANESE. But you know I've known several lesbians who were excellent cooks :P .

 

Thanks for the advice on just graciously accepting my coworker's help, that's pretty much what I ended up doing and I definitely did need the break

 

Also you'll both be glad to know my late night walk, while fun and relaxing, was uneventful :D , lOL and I did bring my phone :)
