Well, to be fair if you woke up to the sight of a naked cat-lady hovering over you saying how she saved your life, you'd be shocked yourself.
That moment when you've just had some fillings and the numbness is wearing off and ibuprofen suddenly becomes the best invention in the world...
TMW you spill curry down yourself on your lunch break so you have to spend an afternoon at work with your dress on backwards. We've all had that moment, right? Right?
TMW you turn on the TV and catch the last 5 minutes of Rosemary's Baby and all the 60s whackadoos chanting "Hail Satan!" makes you smile for the next hour...
Don't you just love that moment when you have a problem with your mobile device software, and when you go to look for a solution online, you find that it was first reported to the manufacturer four or more years ago, hundreds of people have complained about it, and you know the fix would be something around two lines of code, but nothing has been done? Warms my heart, I tell you.
TMW (last night) you get home from a week away and theres bugger all food in the house so you feast 'healthfully' on a packet of ready to eat poppadums, a jar of mint raita, and a box of mint matchmakers (they are long thin chocolates for our american readers) Closely followed by TMW you wake up at 3am with heartburn
TMW anxiety kicks you in the dick for no discernible reason and you now have this overhanging feeling of dread, that something very bad is about to happen.
TMW you go out to your car and the crack in your windshield that was a little squiggle yesterday is now a billboard sized capital S... after you scrape off a half inch of ice. Yay Spring!
TMW you describe the assistant department head as 'second in command of the department' I really am screwed up
Happens to me a lot. I either have to sleep on the underside of the bed or at least flip the mattress over. Damn gravity.
you're just special I sometimes compare our whole chain of command to the regency navy - so if i'm captain of my ship, then my boss is a commodore, his boss is a rear admiral, the regional director is a Vice admiral, and the head quarters people are the admiralty Then i think about whether thats a better metaphor than army comparisons where i'm a platoon commander, my boss is a captain, his boss is a major or light colonel, and the RD is a full colonel commanding a regiment. Then i side track into wishing that were the case so I could frag him
