Rainbow Trite | TCWH

Can you see that y'all? It's sour grapes, gleefully liberated from here . See those puckered, angry faces? Those are the exact same faces that my new colleagues made when they found out that I was going to be working with them. Nice to feel welcomed, hunh? Let's try a little therapy (for me, because obviously I need it) : LOOK. I know you don't want to work with me because you think that I am on "her" side. Well, I am, because you all gossip incessantly and spread lies. But that doesn't stop me, I'll still be as nice as soup to you. You know, for the kids. Thank you for allowing me that little PSA, because I am so damn passive agressive we all know I will say NOT A WORD. I'll just blog about it.

Let's Listy:

2. Gym, no gym? Stomach check. Still jiggling, definitely. GYM. *sigh* Next time I want to eat a school lunch or a ding dong? Y'all do me a favor and cut my damn hands off, okay?

3. Christmas party is tomorrow night. Tell me what the worst white elephant gift you've gotten is, because I want to know if mine tops that. If you have any good suggestions that I can pick up in a jiffy, I will be forever indebted. I'm out of ideas here, people.

4. Just so we can end on a positive note, I have a good friend, here, MT. When you tell MT your quirks, she always laughs and says, "I love that about you." Thanksgiving, I told her about my drunk dialing, she laughs and says, "I love that about you." Today, I told her how I wore a shirt under my office shirt even though it looked completely ridiculous because I was too rushed/lazy to take it off and as a result looked like I had lopsided lumpy orange sock boobs, she laughed and said, "I love that about you." It's the greatest feeling. To have a friend that loves you for your quirks. I love that about her. How much easier a friendship is made when we are confident that a person accepts us, even with our quirks. AND LOVES THAT ABOUT YOU. The fact that she is open like that? I love that about her.

5. Tomorrow? At the Christmas Party? There's an open bar. I'll be taking pictures for blackmail.

Have a fabulous Monday, ya'll. Go tell somebody what you love about them.

Well what kind of WE gift does it have to be.. is it a joke present or a good present?

Man, it's also hard cuz you don't live in the states. I'd say run to Tuesday Morning and grab anything under $20 and I'm sure everyone has everything from your BX.

If it's for a women.. smelly lotions... bath and body stuff.

If it's for a man.. smelly lotions.. bath and body stuff.. (They secretly dig that shit)..

I love that little picture. Kill the meanies with kindness. I do admit, I prefer outright ignoring of the annoying people, but that doesn't really work as well when you have to work with them.

People can be such asses. Just remember to be yourself and screw them, if they don't want to get to know you for you, they are not worth the time of day.

As for white elephant gifts, once my DH and I went bowling. I hate bowling, I can't do it due to my bad hands and wrists. So what does he do? He buys me a bowling ball for my birthday complete with my name engraved on it.

It's sitting somewhere in the attic collectimg dust. :)
