I think it's weird that people greet each other when they really aren't into it. I walked by a guy twice within 5 minutes this morning and both times he glanced at me, said, "How’s it goin?" and then walked past. He really didn't care how things were with me. Nor did he want to chat about how things are. But twice within 5 minutes he pretended he did.
OK, so he wasn't pretending. I get that. He was just being cordial. I just think it's weird that we greet each other all the time when most likely we don't care to. But people get all bent at what they perceive to be rude behavior or what they consider being slighted. If you don't greet people when they walk by, they get annoyed. Not all people but most.
Mostly for me, I am relieved when someone walks past and doesn't say anything. I'm not anti-social by any means. I just don't like faking things. An insincere greeting is like an insult. We aren't politicians or anything.
If I see that guy again and he says the same thing I am going to start talking a mile a minute about whatever I can think of. He asks a question, he's gonna get an answer. I wonder how that will go over? Maybe he'll get a new fake/insincere greeting after that. :)
I saw a pretty woman in the hallway and my first thought was, "She really looks like Molly Ringwald. Just sexier." She really resembles Molly. But she is a hotter version of her. No insult intended toward Molly at all. I always liked her a lot.
I’ve worked around a few celebrities. People who look like celebs anyway. Here we have Kevin, the scary cannibal guy from Sin City (See the post from 5/21).
We have Frank Costanza (only nicer).
We have the beefy version of Courteney Cox (See the post from 2/23).
At my last job there was a woman who looked exactly like James Brown. Sad but true. She looked a lot like him.
I'm hoping Roselyn starts working here soon.
What? C'mon, everyone knows that the little black dress is appropriate for the work environment. lol
So today I felt like calling in again. I start vacation the end of next week. Remember how I mentioned that I'd probably never get around to calling in before the vacation? I'm almost out of time. This is just one of those days when I am tired of everything, for no real reason. Funny thing is, I usually accomplish a lot on days like this.
Time for coffee. The elixer of life. Buh Bye!

Yah, it's a shame that people don't make time for each other anymore. You wonder if the guy was trying to start a conversation, but at the last minute didn't because he was afraid of rejection, or that someone would say something rude, etc. I'm not anti social by any means, and at times I think I should be cuz I can be so freaking social at times! ha ha! And Bob, Molly Ringwald was never attractive, I don't care what you say!!
guess what was on tv last night, Pretty in Pink! I cracked up thinking about your Molly Ringwald woman!! Just thought I'd share!!
Just saying hi!!!
