My day.

I was manic all day at work today. Enough to have people comment. It was the only way I could cope.

I received a compliment from a doctor about my pleasantness and professionalism. It totally blew me away.

I ache all the way down my back and arms and my eyes hurt from the computer screen. My throat aches from talking and I am enunciating too much.

I was not at all enthusiastic about my cousin’s baby. It looked like a baby – what would you have me say?

I should be in bed but I juts can’t seem to find the energy to pack up and switch off. I get to sleep in tomorrow anyway.

Hope you have a happy APEC day, folks.

"not at all enthusiastic about my cousin’s baby. It looked like a baby – what would you have me say?"

That pretty much sums up my feeings on babies.

"Yep, that's a baby. Good job on cranking it out *thumbs up*"

It was a bit of an awkward moment. There I was madly trying to find something to say to my terribly proud cousin about his new nephew and all I could come up with was 'it looks like a baby, a newly hatched one at that'. 'He's only about two hours old in that pic,' replied my cousin.
It's weird when people get hugely excited about things that have just emerged from their sister's vagina. It leaves one sort of speechless.

Nails, you win quote of the year with that last comment!

Shelley said...

All my best quotes involve vaginas. It has me a little concerned.

Hey, maybe that's your superhero skill. Look upon it as a personal asset and use it for other people's good and/or to vanquish your enemies.

Shelley said...

My superhero skill is one that makes conversation awkward and brings a blush to the face of the sturdiest boy?
Well, right up until five minutes ago I thought that was my mouth. Now it's my mouth and vaginas. Oh dear.

Oh yes, without question the quote of the year.

Very likely the quote of the decade.

I'd toss it in now Nails, you can't better that.

All downhill from here.

I admit, Caz, that I knew that was a bit of a winner of a line as I wrote it. I did have a few qualms about leaving it there though. I have this funny feeling that people think me more innocent and less tongue-in-cheek than I actually am. I swear, it keeps me up at night.
