Fun little things you do to keep from killing yourself
« on: September 21, 2008, 02:52:47 PM »
Whenever I upload a picture to facebook where I'm eating something, I'll tag the thing that I'm eating as one of my friends so that it shows up in their tagged photos thing. 

I also make up tons of little lies when I'm just having normal conversations every day.  Inconsequential stuff, mostly.

Also, people learn not to leave their computers unlocked when I'm in the office because they'll end up with a gross wallpaper.
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

1. hide my husband's keys and then, after about 15 minutes, put them in the first place he looked
2. over drink cheap tequila on tuesdays and listen to TBS

That is the cruelest, most diabolical thing I have ever heard in my life! I only grow to love you more each day, dear Julie.

Every time I try to leave my apartment I can't find my keys. I suspect that someone is making periodic trips from Cincinnati to Oakland to hide them. Stop it, Julie!!!

4 hours a week of therapy?  that must be great.

At my previous school, the math and science faculty were all in the same end of one building. The copy machine was a floor up on the second floor. There was a Chemistry professor who, two times in the same week, went to the copy machine, got about 2 copies to come out before the machine ran out of paper, and he would have to go back to his office to get more paper. It drove him CRAZY, because he was frequently needing these copies when the class had already started, and he would have to go downstairs to his office, get paper, and come back up, making him even later.

His office was next door to mine, and he was the type of guy that talked out loud a lot, so a few times over the next couple of years, I would hear him say out loud, or to a student, that he still had to get to the copier before class started, at which time I would get up, run to the copy machine, and remove all but about 10 sheets from the copier and take them back to my office. Then I could just stand in the hall and wait for the outcry.

I loved that guy.

Thank you for your kind comments, RegularJoe! It really is the small things that stop one from jumping under a bus.

I suggest hanging your keys on a peg by the door as soon as you get home. If that doesn't help your problem, dip you keys in some kind of gooey, sticky, bright red dye. Then, unless you have a ghost, you will find the culprit.

It's a barrel of monkeys! I only wish I could bring my dog with me.

I travel quite a bit.  It doesn't make me feel better right this second.

Oh, and I have some neat coloring books I color in with markers. It's soothing.

I do that at work.  Usually really nice little melodies about how incredibly effing stupid somebody/something is.

I frequently pretend that I am forced to be the star of a comic rock operetta in which I am forced to narrate my actions through song.  This is mostly a coping mechanism when I'm busy waitressing and need to say my to-do list out loud.  For instance, the comic rock operetta number "I'm Going to Make an Iced Tea Now and Then See if Those People Want Dessert" is reaching the classic status held by "Oh, Crap, That Guy Asked For Coffee Like Fifteen Minutes Ago" and "Hey, I Just Broke Some Wine Glasses And I Need The Broom But It Isn't A Big Deal."

Otherwise, cupcakes.
