That's right I am devoting an article to this before I even start work this morning. This probably isn't a good sign for my day, but I'll take the good with the bad.
1. There is no Starbucks on my way to work. There is no Starbucks on the train. Starbucks needs to build more Starbucks that are more convient pour moi.
2. They run the air on the train constantly so that it is always blowing my hair, which is itching my face. There is no need to run the air so high!
3. Men who respond to my accidents with pick up lines. When I step on your foot and apologize I do not want to hear 'you walk on the tops, I'll walk on the bottoms' accompanied with a wink. Seriously dude, I'm married. And you need new pick up lines.
4. It's raining and I am wearing glasses, need I say more?
That's actually all I have, now that I have a nice Tully's Peppermint Mocha and I am sitting at my desk I am feeling less annoyed. I hope you aren't annoyed today - remember, it's Thursday!
Posted by 10lees at November 21, 2006 07:48 AM10... I completely agree with you... mornings must cease their insurgent behavior upon my days. Also their nefarious agents, "happy people" must be dealt with. Isn't there some sort of government bill that we could paper clip this with? I'm not with upping the jail term for agents of evil, but I am very pro locking up morning people for at least the first couple hours of the day.
Also "accidents" and then guys hitting on you. Perhaps I have been staying with old folks too long but when old people have accidents it is usually an instance far seperated from an opportunity to be hit upon. And while I know that Seattle is known for large quantities of percipitation I find it hard to believe that those qualities of accidents would raise the attraction bar. Please explain.
Posted by: Mornings R 4 Suicides at November 21, 2006 08:16 AMBy accident I meant stepping on someone's foot, not wetting oneself. That would no doubt lower the bar of attractiveness. Are you suggesting that a way to prevent being hit on is to have an 'accident'?
Posted by: 10lees at November 21, 2006 08:31 AMSo everyone - the truck is FIXED!!! Woohoo - let's thank the Lord?!!! ;)
As for pick up lines - when your dad and I were married and we EVER danced - that was his line - so NO MATTER what anyone says to you - even though they're being friendly and haven't a chance with you - just say "MY DAD USED TO SAY THAT TOO!" That just may shut them up. Then maybe don't wink back at them. You gotta figure you're a beautiful woman and just giving them a smile probably wouldn't hurt you too much. It's public and I doubt they would follow you home or to work. I do know how you feel in public though - she's shy people!
I will pray for the Starbucks corporation to build a shop along your way. :) But I'm sure that Tully's works in a pinch.
I hope your "Mornings are 4 suicide" isn't contemplating it herself. 'Ugh' what a sign up. 'Ick' as Sam Gamgees would say!
Love you t & MA4S,

Wait, it's Thursday??? I SOOO thought it was Tuesday!
Man! I'm messed up.
Maybe it's one of those crazy tuesday/thursday days?!?
OOH! IT IS! and I get to go to MN in 2 days!! And I get to LEAVE MY JOB TOMORROW!!! WOOOT for leaving jobs. No more job. So long job. Thanks for all the fish.
Um... 10 -- what's your new address? can you e-mail it to me? Take my bethel e-mail and switch the ending to AT juno.com, and it should get to me.
Thanks!

Yeah, well it could be worse. People could start spewing their life stories at you every time you're nearby. For example, today I was waiting for the bathroom during my long-ass drive and the man waiting for the men's room said to me "I have poor circulation. See how my finger is all white. It's poor circulation that does it." Then he proceeded to tell me more stuff I didn't care about.
People are always telling me things I don't want to know. Sometimes, I really wanna be like the South Park kids and say, "Oh God. Don't care, don't care, don't care. Dude, we don't care."
You can send me the pick-up line people, and I'll send you the people who start talking to me while I'm minding my own business. :)
Also, I'm one of those dreaded morning people, but I get really crabby in the afternoon, which was when this happened.
Posted by: Lo at November 22, 2006 07:14 PMI love the people that start talking to you while your minding your own business.
I have to say it doesn't matter what time of day, I can be annoyed during any point of it. But I am more willing to to forgive if it isn't morning. :-)
