    TMW you realise you are only any good at imagining stories, not writing them. :bigfrown:

    Hugs barnie (totally platonically - i'm not getting into any more misunderstandings today*), from what ive seen of your writing that definitely isnt true - you've got an angel that spontaneously combusts and a man who turns into a tiger FFS, you rock

    *talking of which TMW you put your foot in it for the second time today, this time with our female intern ... she comes in , shes got a cut on her leg, the intention is to ask if she's okay.... so its probably not the best idea to say "I've been looking at your legs.." as an introduction to the topic

    I blame a lack of coffee...

    An old one, but a good one:

    That moment when you find a plastic toy sword in your friend's car and the first thing she says when you pick it up is "NO, you can't use it on the youth pastor!"

    She wouldn't even let me just point it at him. Bummer.

    Platonic hug returned ;)
    Oh my gosh! I did something equally as stupid today, I saw this guy with amazing hair so I just full on stared at the poor chap. He was so confused... it took me a good few seconds to realise I was actually staring. I should not be let out into public!

    TMW you're past asking what your extra friendly colleague's name is because now it'd be way too awkward. :bigfrown: It all began when he acted like we were supposed to know each other from somewhere and I was too much of a spaz to go "um, sorry, who are you again?". Now I know stuff like where he went for a holiday and when his baby was born, but I've no fucking clue what his name is. Fail. :bigoops:

    Tmw you sit in a car park, surrounded by yummy mummies dropping kids off and realise that

    1) it was incredibly stupid to organise a meeting for school run time

    And

    2) that you have indeed turned into a dirty old man since turning 40

    That moment when you discover you do like the sound of your guitar, you just don't like it in standard tuning.

    TMW I have an odd, crazy idea: Today I want to buy sticky notes and a red pen and go around town posting encouraging words for strangers like, "You're awesome!" or "You were born in awesome. Now get out there and kick ass!"

    The moment when you realize you might actually be useful in your daughter's & granddaughter's world. We needed dollar bills & I had some!

    TMW two Marines, one of them a combat veteran, a pilot, two bartenders, a police dispatcher, a forestry firefighter, a university professor, an Alaskan salmon fisherman, and a radio DJ walk into a bar. One of them says "Gentlemen, here's to a quiet, normal life!"

    The other two raise their glasses and return the toast.

    True story.

    TMW where on the second day of budget week the budget software crashes from overuse and takes the entire network with it. This is not helpful (it also happened last year and the year before that as well).

    to be fair all the actuall work was done weeks ago - all we need to do now is enter the figures , and the system for that only opened yesterday. Its currently back up but less stable than Brad Pitts marriage so i'm leaving it to settle before i reenter all the data i had put in just before it crashed

    TMW when you remember your first cast of characters that you created twelve years ago and, suddenly, for the first time...you finally have a story for them. Welcome back, guys. I've missed you all. :D <hugs his first characters ever>
