Random Ramblings... *sigh

Have you ever had an encounter that ended too soon? Like there was sooo much more to that tonguelashing that I wanted to give them!

I do. I often review conversations in my mind. Sometimes it's because something didn't match up or maybe felt off. Sometimes the conversation didn't go well, and I try to figure out if there was something I could have done differently to create a better outcome.

But sometimes, it's just, "And another thing- you were totally wrong on this point.. and this one. And actually, you discredited yourself only about a dozen times!"

Yeah, that happens to me more often than I'd like to admit.

So I write it out.. and then I sit on it for a week or two (or months or...). And eventually I think better of it and just leave my mouth shut. So maybe it's for the best. I know they're wrong, confused, misinformed, etc. Sometimes, that's enough.

Late for Dinner

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'll take being called pretty much anything except stupid and "late for dinner."

When my second husband said, "It sounds like someone has talked you back into (insert my original stand on the issue)," I realized I wanted to be done with that marriage. I was done trying to make it work.

When the guy at the Milwaukee Penske shop feigned ignorance regarding the customer #/customer name and PO# for maintenance on our car, I knew I could never name a child Lawrence.

When a customer tells me what is and isn't possible, demanding things that are against company policy (or even the law), my givadamn breaks.

I'll take all the ugly things people call those they hate... but I know I'm not stupid. And I sure don't want to be late for dinner!
