Oh man, y'all. Just got the following email from the person who sits in the next cube to me. (Who thankfully
does not
report directly to me anymore.)
I wanted to very humbly ask you for a favor. Could you possibly use a different name or word when you get frustrated, besides “Jesus Christ?” As you may know, I am a Christian and that name is very precious to me. My heart about shatters when I hear His name used that way. I know you don’t mean anything by it.
Brenda, I think the only sane answer is to start saying "motherfucker" instead. You know, out of respect.
Pretty much my reaction, yeah.
Brenda, I find "Flying Spaghetti Monster!" to be very useful for those moments. Or "Fuck a flying dead duck!" Or "Dear sweet jebuslug!"
I am doing my job! Oh, you`re talking to Jesse. Guilty conscience.
Thank goodness, Suela. Here`s hoping for a smooth transition, with raise!
I have painted my nails Verde from the Nubar Venetian Glass collection and this has apparently made me less homicidal, and it turns out I`m having quite a productive morning.
This afternoon is our last party, and then we`re on Christmas break. Or I am, anyway. The SO is working way too many holiday hours at the music store lessons. But I will be done, whoot. So now I need to do some self-assessment to see what needs doing over the next few weeks. I want to strike a balance of getting big boring work tasks done, big boring household tasks done, plus actually having the sensation of having time off. It will take a lot of discipline to achieve, so I may need to call on youse guys.
Oh, and the next Onerous Task day ended up the day after the concert & party, so it`ll be good, because I`ll want to lie around, but there will be lots to do. And if I do it, I could then have a nice clean house for the rest of the party. I mean, holiday season.
You could always tell her you're not saying out of frustration, but praying loudly.
I sold the PS2. YAY!
oh brenda. you could do like my religious great grandmother and say "Judas Jesse".
