Irritated
....at the Grinch.

I'm awfully happy that we don't really cross paths too much anymore, but when we do- it's usually not a pleasant experience. He is so nasty and negative.

Yesterday I gave a presentation to the managers and there he was, doing his usual thing; texting my manager with what I'm sure were very snippy messages based on the look on his face.

It's so darned disrespectful. He does it in EVERY meeting, no matter who is presenting. The look on his face says it all.... "Oh SNAP! I'm so funny with the way I cut down other people". Seriously, the look on his face looks down-right evil. I am not exaggerating.

I don't understand why he hasn't been called out for this. It's obvious what he's doing. Maybe I should have called him out while I was giving my presentation.

"Is there something you'd like to share with the rest of us, Grinch?"

Hindsight....

In other news, I'll be away from my blog (and yours) for a few days. One of my previous employees (and now friend) is coming into town and staying with me from tomorrow through Monday morning. I suspect we'll be having a few fun adventures. I plan to take her on the train to and from work on Friday. I just hope that we'll see some interesting people.

...speaking of interesting people. There's a guy that rides the 5:15 train (I'm usually on the 4:20) that gets on the train with his bike. He's REEKED of alcohol every single time I've seen him. He can be a few feet away and I still smell it. You can tell by looking at his face that he's been a friend to the bottle for a long time. Poor guy. I kinda feel sorry for him.

There's also this strange 'couple' that sits where I like to sit (good thing there are three seats, eh?). I sometimes listen into their conversations because they are clearly in that "I wonder if she/he likes me" phase and say all kinds of things to try to nudge some sort of "I like you" phrase out of the other. One of these days I'm going to say, "JUST SAY IT and quit wasting each other's time". Aside from that, the girl is clearly a little challenged in the social skills. Maybe I should give her a script or something. I don't think she's ever going to get this thing off the ground until she learns the fine art of conversation.

I think this post went all over the place. I'm clearly not very focused. I hope that improves as the day goes on, for my employer's sake.

The Grinch must have a very sad life. he was the annoying neighbor kid nobody wanted to play with.

You know speaking of public transportation and annoyances. On the bus yesterday, it had to have been one of the most annoying EVER! I get on and there's this guy who has one of those obnoxiously booming voices that carries for miles so no matter where you sit on the bus there's no peace, he's on the phone talking about the most inane things (I know we all do from time to time, except for me and you sis). And then this older woman, who also talks very loudly and has the most boring conversations on the phone, apparently got a new phone and wasn't quite sure how to work it (she admitted it to the person next to her). Because as I was hearing Mr. Man with the louder than loud voice on the phone, the older lady is repeating "hello" into her phone. She must've repeated it at least 10 times. Normally I can tune conversations out but these two peeps annoy me too much. I mean we're in a tube on wheels! Please spare me or talk about something interesting since we're forced to eavesdrop. Then another woman got on the bus and sat down next to me and I learned in the process of her sitting down that I have a super power. It's called invisibility. She obviously didn't see I was sitting next to her as her overloaded handbag kept jabbing my in the arm and side and once she moved her bag it was her elbow. Grr. I hope your train travels are better than my stupid bus.
