Esprit de l'escalier

Okay, so I am feeling sorta bad about not having updated in a while. But, don’t fret! An interesting update is just around the corner! There is much to talk about. First of all, let me just say…you know how you have these like revolutionary thoughts or ideas…and you think to yourself “Oh I have to remember that!” But then later when you try to remember it, you keep drawing a blank? Ya, that right there…story of my life. Anyhow, I was just remembering today how annoyed I get when people start saying something and then stop right in the middle of the sentence. That bugs me sooo much!!! Almost as much as when someone points out how loud a person is munching on their popcorn in the movie theatre, and then you start to notice every other minute sound…which eventually ruins the whole experience of the movie. But what brought me to this irritating train of thought was when my boss called me into the office and asked me to come to the other side of the desk so she could show me how to do something on the computer (which by the way was something she didn’t know how to do either, you can imagine where this is going). So I’m standing behind her chair while she starts trying to figure this stupid thing out and I keep saying “Well, just call me back in when you figure it out” because I had like a gazillion other more constructive tasks I could be accomplishing. But no, she wouldn’t let me leave! My feet were hurting, my back was on the brink of giving out and I’m seriously feeling like an old woman! What’s even worse is that I’m starting to fall asleep! haha. I wasn’t even tired until she started talking…I know I know…that’s mean, but it’s the truth. So I figure I can sneak around the desk while she’s focused on the computer screen and then I can sit down before she says anything. *dramatic sneaking reenactment* Mission accomplished! I plop down in the chair and I am still very attentive, but the whole ‘drift-off-in-your-train-of-thought-and-don’t-complete-your-sentences’ thing was really irritating me. But I was still trapped. So I start sinking into the comfortable office chair and the inevitable happened. I started falling asleep. haha. She obviously wasn’t trying to tell me anything important or she would have been more attentive in her grammar. “This right here….you will ….need to do…” is not an informative sentence, let alone a coherent thought! Well, anyway, I know it’s mean for me to harp on things like that, but it just irritates me so bad. It’s gotten to the point where I stop and ask her to finish what she was saying. And that has worked in the past, but it’s almost easier to just avoid talking all day.
Anyhow, I should get back to work…”lunch break is…” <----incomplete sentance. Irritating, isn't it?
