I love Sharpies. I wanted to write a whole post about how much I love Sharpies, but that's basically all.

I went to the doctor for a checkup the other day. She asked me how many times in the last 3 months that I had more than 3 drinks. I say "Maybe three times?" And I got a lecture about cutting back, AND a follow-up email with tips for slowing down and trying to drink less. "Set your glass down in between sips!" Okay, but. Really?

My sister: "Hey! Where did you get those chips?"
My 3 year old niece: "It's celery."
It was not celery.

I spend a certain percentage of my job on the
phone, and I sometimes have to spell out medication names. And sometimes
I’m spelling those medications to people with bad phone connections or
hearing problems. I really should just bookmark
this page because if I’m in the middle of spelling something I panic and say things like “Okay it’s
simvastatin. S as in syrup, i as in impossible, m as in muppet, v as in voluptuous, a as in Appalachian…”
And because my brain is my brain, I ALSO start thinking of even worse ones “P as in phlebotomist” or "t as in tsunami.”

On a more positive note, I have successfully
transitioned to saying “my pleasure” at work instead of “no problem”
when somebody thanks me. I always felt a little odd when I said no
problem because I feel like it still sounds like “Well
this is kind of a problem, but don’t worry, I’ll do it anyhow as a
favor.” My pleasure, however, THAT’s customer service.

I cut my own bangs last night. And now I remember two things: why I don't usually do that, AND where my original avatar pic came from.
