reflections on that thing i'm living called life!

what’s old is new!

so a bit of recycling… I wrote this 2 yrs ago (16-Aug-01) and if you haven’t read it, well you should!

Isn’t it amazing that the plain bagel and butter I have for breakfast has a higher fat content than my frozen lunch entrée? Now that just blows my mind. This whole week has been a journey of subtle discoveries. Just this week I learned that:

It’s not such a good idea to roller blade right after a thunderstorm unless of course you want to play falling games with the debris

If your boss cc’s you on a correspondence regarding a particular project, it means you’re supposed to be working on that project even though no one’s told you anything.

I maybe an adult size two but in the kids department, I’m a size ten! Baby!

Being manipulative and cunning isn’t exactly a character trait.

There’s no such person as Mr. (J.) Crew, so when they screw up your order you might not want to demand talking to him. It’s just a made up company name.

People will keep on using you as long as you let them, nobody ever said “I’ve taken advantage of this sucker for too long, I’m quitting now” I know I won’t!

Life doesn’t really give you lemons… it’s actually a figure a speech meaning that life gives sucky deals. But when life gives you Cancer you can’t really make Cancerades can you?

The more extravagant the lie the more believable it becomes. It’s been tried and tested

I might not give my father my bone marrow if he needed a transplant. That shit looks like it hurts

Just because you want to do someone doesn’t necessarily means that you have to like him.

I don’t like my job but I don’t hate it either. My boss adores me, the pay isn’t that bad, I get to surf the web all day, I get to make as much personal international calls that I want, I get to wear nice clothes to work and I get to do whatever I want as long as I can fit in my ultra heavy workload.

If I changed my name and moved to another country my creditors will write my debt off but until then I’m stuck with paying them.

I love my mom but I hardly ever take her advice even though I make her believe that I agree with her.

I won’t become rich just by thinking it.
