Peaks & Valleys

I am having such a Monday!

I hate when I make myself look stupid. Surprisingly though, I do it often. Really, sometimes I wonder why I can’t get my head out. 

And it isn’t big things – budget analysis, strategic planning, presentations, manuals, reports – I’m your girl! You can count on me to get it right and meet deadline. Just tell me what you need and I deliver, each and every time.

No, it’s the little tiny things that make people wonder about me.   Like the exchange I had after a discussion on a travel request when I heard “What’s it for?” only to discover the real question was “How was your fourth?”  See, see how that might be just a little awkward?

And people wonder why I claim to be socially inept.  Well, because about 75% of the time I am, I really truly am.  So I won’t be winning any awards for my charming personality – I’ll just retain my title of ‘Efficient and Smart, Until You Talk To Her & Then You Just Don't Know’ because hey, I’ve kinda earned it.

And what is up with the temperature in my office today? Every day, every single day it is cold in my office. I keep my heater out all year round – I don’t always use it but I use it too often to bother with putting it away. And maybe that speaks more to my laziness than it does to the climate control challenges here on campus…either way; it’s hot in here today. Way too hot. So hot that I’m sweating just sitting. Like a constant sweat. But not enough that I actually look sweaty – nope, I just look shiny.  On pretty girls this is considered “glistening” but on girls like me, well, it’s just considered oily.

There is one saving grace to this day, however vain it may be, and that is my rack looks amazing. Not sure why but the girls seem to be bigger and perkier than normal. In fact, I looked down and almost did a double take – whoooaa, where did these come from?  I don’t know if it’s the new shirt I’m wearing (which I will most definitely be wearing again) or if I’m just so hot that they’ve begun to swell…either way, I’ll take it this little piece of happiness and enjoy it.
