If you can’t be positive, then don’t bother.

There’s a saying “be nice to the people you meet on your way up, for you’ll be seeing them on your way down”.  Funny thou I didn’t know any of the people I know now from before?  Perhaps I never went up?

One of my coworkers likes to throw around the phrase “I love you” when speaking to people.  She once stated to me; “you love me right?”  Yeah, no, that word has meaning to me and I only use it for the ones I love.  I like her, but I feel no love for her, so the word is not forthcoming for her.

Everything feels wrong tonight, I wonder when it might feel right again.

I’ve got a stupid answer for your stupid question.

They have a strong belief system which is good, but unfortunately it blinds them to certain realities.

One of my siblings relayed a story of their college days when someone they knew was busted by the police for selling pot.  Turns out later the police had to drop all the charges when the testing of the pot showed they were selling random crushed up leaves instead, apparently not illegal.  I wonder just how many of their customers bragged about how stoned they got off it.  I also wonder if any of their customers came back demanding refunds?  Or were they just too embarrassed that they were had?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong.  They don’t think there’s anything wrong.  So does that mean there’s actually something right?

I ‘m always in denial, it helps with reality.

We have free will in our day to day activities, beyond that we’re stuck.

I hate people who won’t listen because they’re afraid they might have to actually do their job.

Good to never know Ya.

There is harassment, but there is also speaking the truth.  Problem is telling the difference.

You’re good at the talking, just not the doing.

Everyone is a comic, problem is thou, most of us are unemployed.

While camping this weekend I used their sophisticated bathroom (latrine).  It was a “6 holer”, with an active worm farm under it.  The best part was when one is seated on their thorn, and then someone opens the outside door, you’d get a blast of cold air up your butt, very invigorating.  But at least I was staying at a Cabin In The Woods.

We all had a dream, but yet here we are.

I don’t have a lot, but I do have some extra and I’m willing to share.

I’m not your superior; I just have more knowledge and experience than you do.

In family lore there is a story of my oldest brother not being happy with my parents having a second child.  At one point they buried the other child in their toys while they were in their bassinet.  When asked why they did that, the answer was, “so they would have toys to play with.”

Sometimes it just has to be good enough.

I was at a chain restaurant for dinner the other day when another group was seated near us and before they were even settled they had issues.  One individual in the group keep insisting they be allowed get a special that was no longer being offered because they saw it “still on the internet”, “so you have to give it to us.”  Every time the staff told them it was no longer available, they keep repeating, “it’s on the internet”, like everything on the internet is written in stone.  The staff advised them it wasn’t on their site and asked where did they see it?  So the individual showed them a website the company wasn’t affiliated with as proof.  Of course the staff declined to honor that and with a little more of “it’s on the internet” rebuttals, the group gave up and left when it became clear their scam was a bust.

My Dad was a teacher and we lived in the district he worked for.  So when we came of age to vote he instructed us to go vote yes for the school budget, period.  When asked why, he would say, you want to eat don’t you?  So we were his own voting block to run, just like a party boss of old.

A friend of mine is very religious and is convinced I’m going to hell because I’m not.  Well if that’s my destiny, I’ll bring the marshmallows and when they arrive they can bring the chocolate and graham crackers.

I wasn’t looking for easier; I was looking for an answer.

The main difference between you and them is they get paid to express their opinion and then be ignored, while we freely just ignored you.

I appreciate the fact that you do half the work that they do, but then you make quarter of the mistakes they do, for they have quantity over quality, and I prefer the quality.

It takes all types to make the world go around.  However it only takes one type of crazy to make the world go down and for me to want my Cabin In The Woods.

I would if I could, but I can’t, so I won’t, got it?

Wow the world smells like something, which is a profound statement from someone who has no sense of smell.

It’s amazing how someone can do a competent job with very little working knowledge of what it is their employer actually does.

My life is very centered, if it was any more centered I would tip over.

They have 10 minute’s worth of work, yet they’ll take 3 hours completing it and think they have everyone fooled that they work hard.  I’ve seen glaciers move faster.

When I was in 6^th grade I got braces, so thrilled to become a “brace face”. Anyhow, during the process it was determined that I needed 8 teeth pulled.  So I wasn’t at all excited about going in multiple times to do so, so I asked to get them done all at once.  Why prolong the suffering and pain.  I was told that while coming out of anesthesia I tried to punch the nurse, thou I remember nothing of the procedure.  I also insisted on going to school the next day since I had a perfect attendance going and didn’t want to mess it up.  So the school lunch lady made soup just for me, an’t I special.  I think that was the last time I had a perfect attendance in anything.

I’m happy that you’re so vengeful, for that is such a positive use of your time.

I’m sorry I could be helpful.

If you’re going through life unprepared for anything, then I guess I can’t help you.  They’re about as unprepared as possible.

You need to understand your vision of yourself and not let someone else project a different unrealistic one onto you.

I have notice thru my years of working that bosses are always looking to fix what isn’t broken.  They can’t leave well enough alone, I guess they have to justify their existence somehow.

Their important to nothing in particular.

I’ve discovered an internet troll and it’s one of my coworkers.  I knew that after 5pm they do very little related to their job and I have always wondered what they were actually doing since I could hear them typing away.  Well the other day I happen to pass by while they were typing up one of their comments; that I’m sure no one wants to read or asked for, with their uninciteful insights.

This explains a lot about this individual, as well as makes sense. For in a real “in person” confrontation this person reacts with the stare of a deer in head lights, not knowing how to react.  It makes sense they’d be a troll where they don’t have to physically confront anyone and can hide in the shadows.

I now know for sure that I’m not hip with current events.  Lady Gaga recently won a Grammy for a song I’ve never heard.  It apparently has received a lot of air time on the radio, but I don’t listen to the radio anymore.  I have her older stuff on my iPod, but have no idea what this song sounds like.  So it’s official, I’m an old fogy.

You provide excellent services as long as there’s no pressure.  Once there is, you crumble like a paper bag and wish you had a Cabin In The Woods.

Amazing talents have come and amazing talents have gone, with mediocre being a constant.

I met someone who was desperate to find a way to insult me in any form they could.  It only shows how sad and pathetic they are.  Their self-inflated sense of superiority is why they’re so miserable, perhaps some self-reflection and looking for the good in others is in order for them.

Last summer one of my neighbors had an accident with their Hyundai and while it was being fixed, they rented a car.  When they went to pick up the rental, they only had BMW’s left.  So my neighbor was forced to drive a BMW convertible for 2 weeks in convertible weather, she was so upset.

I have a coworker who is always late to work and always has an excuse.  If they worked most any place else they would have been fired a long time ago.  Sad part is they are only responsible for themselves, so they have no real excuse being late other than they can’t get their azz moving.  Thou it has given me an idea for a book; it’ll just list all their excuses.  I should have about 100 pages in about a month and it should be an instant best seller.

I’m well organized, I know where everything isn’t.

Consistency is the key to leadership, ego driven leadership on a whim is not.

When I was living in the dorm at college one of the big events of the day was to go down to your mailbox to see if you got a letter.  I was working behind the desk at the time and this one girl would always be upset that there was nothing in her box.  So, I started to leave letters of the alphabet in her box, so she would at least receive a letter.  Apparently she loved the idea.

While growing up, my parents wouldn’t buy cereals like Frosted Flakes or Sugar Smacks.  Instead we got Cheerios or Special K.  But we had sugar to pour on them and pour I would!  I would put so much on the cereal that I’d be left with about ¼ of an inch on the bottom of the bowl, which I had no problem cleaning up.  It was the best part of the cereal!  So when I got out on my own, I would get the cereals that I didn’t have as a child, saved a ton on sugar and no more sugar crashes.

I’m sorry I take into consideration the consequences of stupid; perhaps you should do the same?

On one level I know I did it, but on another level I now doubt it and the question is which feeling do I go with?  Let’s ponder this at my imaginary Cabin In The Woods.

I have a sibling who once worked as a purchaser for a hospital.  One morning while trying to park their car at work, another driver cut them off and went into the parking spot they were headed for.  They also flipped him off.  So they parked elsewhere.  Once they reached their office guess who was waiting to see them?  Well it was a salesman we shall call Mr Bird.  That must have been a very awkward meeting.  The moral of story, don’t be you when at work, especially in sales.

I wonder if their sales manager thought this visit would be a sure sale and when it wasn’t, how the salesman went about explaining it to their boss as to what might have gone wrong?  Perhaps the fact they’re an azzhole?

You an’t sorry for what you did, you are thou just plain sorry.

Patting yourself on the back while taking credit for someone else’s work is pretty scummy.

Sometimes the right choice is not the popular one, but the necessary one.

I use to be afraid of ending up alone but after some thought, don’t we all?

I could take the route of blaming the world and everyone on it for my problems, but since I’m working in the realm of reality, it mostly falls on me.  That’s why I want a Cabin In The Woods.

Silence is not a solution when there are issues that need to be worked through.

Caller Thinks (Maybe): You won’t let me have my way because I’m ignorant of the reality of the situation, so I’m mad at you.

Answerer Thinks (For Certain): Let me check my crystal ball about that…  I’m good with your decision.  So please tell everyone about how bad your ignorance caused you to be so mistreated.

There are just two ways to make a decision, first is with careful deliberation, the second way is just cause I can.

My 19 year old is trying to grow a mustache and has 2 issues.  First it’s growing in very fine; second it’s also growing in very blonde, so it’s not very noticeable.  I suggested he do what one of my older brothers did who had the same problem.  Steal mascara from their sisters.  Problem with that thou, they have no sister and the wife doesn’t really use it.

Fly like an eagle and take a dump like a dog and all will be fine.

Feel free to sit here and wait for the impossible to happen, while I go out and just get on with it.

I was talking to a couple of my co-workers about how police will ask you to recite the alphabet backwards as a test to see if you’re sober.  One of them stated, “I can’t even do that sober”, perhaps not a good plan to make that kind of statement in front of the police.

I don’t want to move on up, I want to move on out.

We know what you know and that’s what we’re afraid of.

They’ll tell you how smart they are, but judging from their actions, not so much.

Just because you plan on doing something stupid, doesn’t mean I should accept it as a foregone conclusion.

They like to count their chickens before they hatch, problem is they don’t even have any eggs yet.

Life is always unfinished.

 

People can be jealous of the famous because they despise their own lack of celebrity.  Fearing, that while a famous person will be remembered, perhaps even celebrated when they die by thousands of individuals.  They themselves will be lucky to be a footnote in the annuals of history if anyone even notices their passing besides family.

It started out as a Noble idea, unfortunately like many Noble ideas it degenerated into what we have today, which is a total mess.  A good reason for a Cabin In The Woods.

Yeah I’m repeating myself and if so?  Yeah I’m repeating myself and if so?

How can you understand your ABC’s if there is no one around to teach you about A?

If a short term benefit negates any long term goals, perhaps it’s a bad idea.

Be proud on how up to date you are on your Ignorance.

To sum up the atmosphere of the place I work in.  They will buy a lamp, put it in a room, plug it in and then never buy light bulbs for it.

My Dad once called my Mom by an ex-girlfriends name and then heard about it for the next 40 years.

I’ve learned at least that much, but still it’s not enough.

One of my brothers was a bit of a player in his younger days.  One day he brought a girl home and my grandfather says, “long time no see”, to them.  Problem was this was this first time she’d ever been there, oops.  I won’t even get into the time 3 girls showed up at one of his baseball games to cheer him on.

When you’re in a hurry to get nowhere, you usually end up back where you started.

My, My, don’t we have an over inflated opinion of our stupidity.

Go before you know, what possibly could go wrong?

Your response is slow, confused and unmethodical, so please don’t try to tell us how good you are, we all know better.

Someday, not today, perhaps tomorrow, but definitely someday, maybe I’ll find that Cabin In The Woods.

Your beliefs are not my beliefs, but I don’t see why that should stop us from helping each other in our time of need.

Sometimes Egos don’t survive direct contact with reality.

Even though you like to follow somebody else’s example does not mean you should do it blindly, but consider what they’re saying and make your own decisions.

Back in the 1970’s when there was a lot of hijacking of airplanes occurring.  So in response to this the government decided to act, one of my neighbors, an IRS Agent was called upon to act as an Air Marshall to protect the planes.  Since he was gone so much, they asked my Dad to install a dead bolt on their door.  He was more than willing to help out, but perhaps not skilled enough.  For once installed, he realized that it was installed backwards, oops.  I have a similar skill set of my own when it comes to doing such tasks, so, thank you Dad.

Word of advice; don’t let your pumpkin pie thaw out at an angle.

 

I hate rogue hair; it just grows wherever it doesn’t belong.

One day while I was driving the camp van, I was approaching a railroad bridge.  When I came around the bend there was a kitten in the road and I had a quick decision to make, hit the kitten or swerve and hit the bridge embankment.  Unfortunately the kitten didn’t make it.  I stopped the van and one of the little owners of the kitten, maybe 5, was looking at the kitten crying out, “They killed Pickle”.  That phase has stuck to me to this day, I felt like crap, even though the adult owner told me there was nothing I could have done, didn’t help much and I was living in a Cabin In The Woods at the time.

Albert Einstein is credited with saying: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”.  Sounds about right.

What did I do to deserve you, for if I knew I wouldn’t do it again.

Let’s be clear about this, you an’t crazy, you are crazy!

We’re all like time machines, hurtling through time and space thinking we know the future, but often being surprised by what it really is.

I was reading a book the other day at lunch and I became aware something was amiss, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.  Then it came to me, I didn’t have my glasses on, well duh!

One of my siblings is an RN and for a while they worked for one of those services that helped parents when their pediatrician’s offices were closed.  One night they got a call from a distraught new father who couldn’t calm their newborn down.  It was the first time they’d been left alone and couldn’t for the life of them get the child to stop crying.  They were holding the child, changed its diaper, rocked it and yet the child continued to cry.  At a total loss as to what might be wrong and thinking maybe it might be medical, they called and got my sibling on the line.  So they listen to this overwhelmed father and what he had done for the child and had a simple piece of advice that changed everything.  When was the last time you feed the child?  That thought never occurred to him, the child was simply hungry.

I think my sibling should have followed up the next day with the mother to see if the father had told her about this, or was he hiding in shame and embarrassment over making the call for such an obvious problem?
