Still beats the alternative, but dang I am tired and muddle-headed. A migraine has been lurking for a few days, and this morning it hit. TG (science actually) for meds! If it weren’t for sumatriptan, I would probably be unable to keep a full time job. I am coming up to 25 years in August at my current one and intend to stay five more until retirement. Speaking of jobs, we were discussing our first ones in a chat group, and mine was at Walgreens in Illinois. After inadequate training, they stuck me on a cash register during a busy afternoon, and I made a lot of mistakes, which wrecked their computer system (not really, someone just had to go in and hand-reconcile my booboos), so they fired me. I learned however that I was never meant for retail or any kind of public facing position because peopling makes me way too nervous. I was fine at babysitting though! Little strangers don’t give me anxiety… only big ones do.
It’s funny how some aspects of our personality seem carved in stone from the start. One of my grandchildren is a lot like me ~ introverted, homebody, needs alone time to recharge, dislikes crowds, loves cookies ~ while the other two are social butterflies. I know, I know… everyone loves cookies! I just put that in there to see if you were paying attention. I highly recommend the various varieties of Pepperidge Farm Chessmen, in particular the cinnamon.
As you may have noticed, everyone is required to have an opinion about everything now, but as usual, I am a rebel. Here is a list of things that I dgaf about, and I will be dgaffing about even more things shortly…
Thank you. It's always nice to find someone else who dgaf about the same things I dgaf about. 🙂
ReplyDeleteBy now, Happy Galentine's! My "I'm getting old" moment was yesterday, watching the last James Bond movie with Daniel Craig. The ending had me in tears. Never thought James Bond would do that, and that's when I started wondering what trend in movies I've missed, because the younger generation seems to be REALLY emotional or really into emotional stuff or whatever this is. (Like, Norwegian skiier admitting at the goal that he messed up when he cheated on his girlfriend. Um, what now?) Maybe it's just Neptune entering Aries. Life's weird right now for all of us. Glad you have dgaf and science on your side!
ReplyDeleteOn this Feb. 14 you and I might be Internet soulmates, as your list looks a lot like mine. The news is actually entertainment, but if it really was entertainment, it would have to be a lot less annoying and tedious. As for celebrities, facial features that fall within quarter-inch parameters of beauty are pretty random developments in the big scheme of things.
ReplyDeleteThis year it was stunningly obvious to me that I am no longer the target demographic for the commercials, and the thing is, I don't care. It's actually kind of a relief that I no longer have to fight off the manipulation. It's more like, *whhoooosshh* what was that noise?
Epstein and followers--gawd don't remind me of what I already knew. I could possibly care enough to pay attention if I actually thought there was something I could do besides provide ad revenue for MSNow.
But I do hate that the political buzzword, normalize, actually seems to be referring more to the pain in my left knee and the fact that my right foot hurts when I walk too far and will never get better. Etcetera. Happy Valentimes, though!
Thanks Bluebird!
ReplyDeleteKeera, I enjoyed Craig’s Bond portrayals too.
Roy, I hear you. I feel very disconnected from popular culture even more now than before. I told myself I should watch the halftime show on YouTube to see what everyone is carrying on about, but I just don’t feel like it…
