Yesterday I had a snow day, or rather an ice day. I wasn't even going to attempt to drive in it. Today I had to chisel an inch of ice off of my windshield and then struggle to get out of our parking lot, nasty indeed.

****************

You know what I don't like. When I make a statement and somebody constantly tries to discount it, especially when I'm not asking an opinion. A coworker and I were discussing the snow the day before yesterday:

 

Me: Yeah, I'll probably leave earlier than usual today

Him: Why?

Me: Because I don't do well in the snow and I don't want it to be dark when I have to drive in it

Him: It's not dark when you leave

Me: It's dark before I get home, and traffic will probably be even more slow because of the snow

Him: Oh you'll be fine

Me: Sure will, and I'll also be out of here

Him: Your car is little, does it drive well in the snow, mine doesn't

Me: No, hence the reason why I will be leaving early

Him: Oh you'll be fine

 

 

Let's reread that shall we. At any point did I ask his opinion, or ask for his permission? If I said I was leaving early because I wanted to go home and pick lint off the carpet that is my freaking prerogative! The later in the day it gets the slicker the roads will become and I don't plan on being on them.

 

I had another discussion with a coworker that doesn't work in my building yesterday. We were preparing a presentation and he wanted to make sure I knew how to do it. Cool...until he acted like I was a darn fool, lol.

 

Him: Now select paste special and do it as a bitmap

Me: Well it looks more clear if you just do regular paste

Him: Well how did you do it

Me: I copied it, then I pasted it

Him: Did you use control + c?

Me: I hit copy then I hit paste

Him: Did you paste special or export it into the slide

Me: I.hit.copy AND THEN I.hit.paste

Him: So did you paste it as a bitmap

Me: I went to the home tab. I clicked on the 2 sheets of paper icon located under the scissors icon and then I went to the slide and I clicked on the clipboard to paste it.

Him: Well that's not right, it won't paste correctly if you do that

Me: I JUST DID IT. IT LOOKS BETTER THAN YOUR WAY

Him: Send it to me

Me: Ok

---minutes later----

Him: Oh that does look clearer. I don't know what you did so I'll send them to you to do it

Me: I HIT COPY AND I HIT PASTE uhhhh just send them to me

MamaTM called me with this nonsense the other day:

 

MamaTM: What's the name of this movie I'm watching?

Me: The Family That Preys

MamaTM: What kind of pray?

Me: P-R-E-Y

MamaTM: Ohhhhh, now it all makes sense
