The boy on the scooter

Yesterday as I was driving to pick up Steph, I looked unconsciously in my rearview mirror and I saw the cutest guy ever on a bright orange scooter. Aren’t scooters just a hoot ? They are so cute yet they’re so dorky. This boy was probably in his early 20’s, wore dark-rimmed glasses that gave him an intellectual air, and very pincheable red cheeks. I’m daydreaming about cheek pinches when all of a sudden my dream bubble bursts when this blurb I recently read pops back into my head. I can’t not think about it now anytime I see a scooter. Which makes scooters even sillier. It’s from some online project where a group of people posted a one question survey on craigslist. The question went something like “Would you ever date a fat girl ? If she was perfect in every other way, exept she was fat ?”

There were your typical “Fat girls are gross and they smell” answers. Some were pretty funny like “I dated this fat girl once, and dude you should have seen her coffee maker. It was so nasty. I’ve never had a problem with dirty coffee makers with the thin girls I’ve dated”. But the most hilarious answer was “Fat girls are like scooters. They’re pretty cool until one of your friends sees you on one”. LOL! I should probably be offended as I’m a fat girl. I’m a scooter? But I just find that pretty hilarious hehe.

Here’s what I think :

Meetings are the biggest waste of time ever. Of course there are exeptions. But I know for a fact that all the meetings I have to attend next week are a huge friggin waste of time. I just learned that Monday we all have to go to an all-staff meeting in Fredericton. Which is to take place at 3h30pm. WTF! Why can’t they think of everyone who has to travel from the regional offices ? Like ME! So as we’re all fighting among ourselves because half of the regional staff want to stay in Fredericton for the night, and the rest of us don’t, our boss declares that he might as well just try to schedule a branch meeting on tuesday since we’ll all be there. friggin great. “Make reservations everybody, I’ll get back to you on friday afternoon to let you know if you’ll need them or not.”

Then wednesday and thursday are my uber dreaded meetings in Shippagan. We came *this* friggin close to cancelling them today. You bet your arse I was praying for that to happen. Of course everything is going forward as planned. *staples eyes shut*

So yeah, it looks like I’ll be on the road from monday until thursday night, while my family is in my home *helping* me to do my landscaping. hah!

Okay they have the A/C cranked up so high here that I swear I can see my breath. I’m going outside to blow off some steam, smoke 2 cigarettes at a time and warm up in the rain.

Note to self : Bring and hide a bottle of scotch in desk tomorrow. Or maybe pour scotch in a bottle of Maple syrup, ‘hide’ it in plain view, and pretend to sweeten coffee with it.
