I’m glad your week was short it means you were busy, mine on the other hand seemed longer than usual but that’s probably because I’m leaving work early on Friday for some time off.

I left the above comment on someone’s blog and I had to laugh at myself a little as I had been writing in my head, on the back porch, a post about how people say stuff.

Case in point when people say;

“I’m going on vacation to recharge my batteries”

I wonder how many batteries it takes to run a person.   There’s only one battery in a car so I think it’s one, but for anyone over 6′5″ it might take two, so they would be the only people who could say batteries.   You know like an 18 wheeler, or an airplane.

And to my comment, really?   A work week is 40 hours and it can only get longer if you, or your boss let it.   A week is not “longer than usual”, hello linlah, that was dumb.

If you’re like me and you wake up on Wednesday and wish it were Friday the week is not going to get any shorter by crying about the fact you don’t know what day it is.

What I may need to do is get an alarm clock that flashes the day of the week instead of the time because I know what time it is, hello, I was the one who set the alarm on the clock.

Wait – did I just invent something again. I’m pretty sure if I call patent rights I’m good to go.

If you are in a meeting and the most important note you think you take goes something like this:

ireallywantapeanutbuttercookie

and you write it twice and you run it all together like that so the guy sitting next to you can’t read it, you might be in a job that doesn’t challenge your thinking.

Or you really want a peanut butter cookie.

I may have poked a bear and not the teddy with socks full of red jello kind from the post before last.

Today in a series of completely useless meetings (kind of redundant) on the same subject, I discovered that one of my Project Managers, who is 28 years old, might be a bit of a T crosser, I dotter, control freak, or just young.

I voted young and so on my way out tonight, just for fun, I asked him a really simple question;

“Should I add the structural and electrical engineer to the contacts list for the project or just the internal team”.

And I swear to all that is mean in me it took him 3 minutes to answer the question.

Old and experienced is good, young and scared is not.
