So...I've been acting weird...
the last few days.
I've been all chatty; talking to folks I wouldn't normally talk to. Coworkers and strangers...
That sounds weird, I know, but normal work calls that I would just get info on and then hang up...um, no; I've *talked* to them. Caught up with them. Work and *home* life...
I talked to a lady in Target, at the 'Natural Hair' isle in Target Friday...for, like, HALF AN HOUR! Even got The Girl involved in the conversation! And *man* was she giving me *looks*!
(Looks like: Who the hell are you, and what the fuck have you done with my mother?! looks)
and today, the PM&O guys came to replace my burnt out light bulbs...and I chatted with them! NICELY! They even made some sexist remark that I just let slide...
I let it SLIDE!!! yeah, that's not like me at all!
the remark was: We were talking about how some workers want full lights and some don't and sometimes arguments ensue about it.
they asked about the other side of the room--which has every other light out--and I said, "Yes, if you were to replace all the
lights over there, a brawl would ensue...One of the guys said, "Yeah, sometimes it's fun to start beef." and then his asshole
partner said: "Which can be the highlight of our day, really. I can go over there and light 'em up, bring in some mud for
wrestling!" HA HA. His partner rolled his eyes, I said, 'Yeah, that's not a thing.'...and just let that go. And they left.
And I sat down, at my too bright workstation, and that's when it hit me: I AM NOT BEHAVING NORMALLY! ACK! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME?
ZYRTEK! The allergy medicine. Shit is like speed for me! I've been taking it since I've been doing yard work last weekend, and it's been all sunny and bloomy out. And I'm annoying and chatty and *FRIENDLY* while on speed. and no. JUST NO. ugh. Imma try to mow the lawn with just a mask Sunday...not take it Monday and see if I can breath. BECAUSE THIS BEHAVIOR IS AWFUL!
I talked to my niece Thursday! She saw me walking home from work--apparently she takes her kids to a peds doc at my hospital--and flagged me down. Dude--usually I'd just have said 'Hey, how you doing?' and left...but NO! On allergy meds, I chatted for 20 minutes! Took her cell number and promised to give it to my daughter! At least I told her I didn't have a Facebook or cell phone!--still. This is behavior that can not continue!
It's like me and actifed(allergy med) and the 80's all over again! (I swear, I could never tell the difference from actifed or cocaine!--they were the same for me!--okay, cocaine never opened up my nasal passages, but that's the only difference!)
