Bah, Monday

Glad That Whole Peopleing Part is Over 28 Sept. 2015

I was doing quite well with my Monday experience until "people" happened. I am mostly a very social creature, so when that whole "people" thing gets to me, it's because as my father would say, "They're just not doing right." First, my drive to work is quite lovely...except when there's traffic. I swear, I am constantly amazed at just how few skills many drives on the roads actually have...no, that red stoplight is not merely a suggestion! Rude drivers are almost as bad, rolling along as if they are the only ones on the road. As per the scads of people I see still texting and driving...most of you can't even walk and chew gum at the same time! Put the flippin' phone down and pay attention to the road! Sheesh! (Insert deep breath here). Fortunately, I have a playlist in my car created exactly for these kinds of emergencies, so I put it on and cranked up the volume. I refuse to have bad drivers ruin my entire day! No way will I give random straners that sort of power over my life. The music kept me calm and happy, and I pulled into my parking space with a smile. Then, I had to face other grown-ups. *sigh*

I like short people (and by that I mean tiny, young humans) because they are funny, creative, and adorable. Even a cranky seven-year-old CAN be quite cute. This does not translate into adulthood. Grumpy, confrontational, anal adults are no fun no matter who you are, but sooner or later we all have to deal with them (and hopefully not BE them). Apparently today was my day.  And no, I did not take off my boot and throw it at another adult in the hallway after being informed that said boots were just "too loud and distracting" in the hallways during testing (Yay me for stellar self-control). I did, however, seriously consider it! If I were seven, I'd have totally done it without hesitation!

Now that my Monday is officially half over, this second part is spent devoted to my other career (i.e. writer) and is tons easier because there is no "peopleling" required. What comes next is a solitary endeavor, which works out great unless I'm having one of those days where my own company gets on my nerves (...which is happily not the case today, but does happen). Wherever you are, how ever your own Monday is playing out, here's wishing you a good one. And if it's not, I have some leftover coconut pecan cookies from my party yesterday that I am willing to share!

Always,
A.
