I got to get publicly cranky at work on Thursday and I thought it was great fun!!! My manager is retiring, and company bigwigs from Virginia were massed in front of her office as they gathered to go to her farewell luncheon. Well, my desk is the first one outside of her office, and I field phone calls all day. My caller said they could not hear me over the chatter, so I put the caller on hold and and turned to the crowd, got their attention, and told them to pipe down. And I didn't say it that nicely, I channeled my inner drill sergeant/mom. I did explain I my caller was not able to hear me, and they sheepishly trotted off to the break room. My manager came by later and apologized for them. Some of the clothing in that crowd cost more than my monthly paycheck if I am any judge of fashion. Let's hear it for the underdog.

WONK.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 30, 2023:

My daughter and family moved to the Netherlands about a year ago. She takes the Kinderen (children) to school on a bike. Now the oldest has learned to ride his own bike, but they still ride with him, it is not a straight path and there is some traffic. He's just five. The baby at 2.5 years old has a Push bike, it is a bike with no pedals to teach her how to balance. It is the first bike before they move up to the big kid bike. They don't need a car, they have bikes, buses, trains, and walking. Pedestrians and bikes have priority, and for your health never walk in a bike path.

Honestly though, I wouldn't want to HAVE to go 12 days without talking. I think you'd miss out on meaningful connections with other people.
