flaming ball of ice
This morning, during a discussion of pleasant workplaces, I described a customer as “a snowflake - the good kind.”
“Is there a bad kind of snowflake?” asked a co-worker.
Realizing that not everyone in the world uses LiveJournal, and just might not know the word speshul, gave an example: “Valerie.* Valerie is the bad kind of snowflake.”
“Valerie is not a snowflake!” he answered. “She’s a flaming ball of ice, screaming through the atmosphere, leaving a flattened path of destruction before finally hitting you in the head.”
*Name changed on the off chance that you might know her and share this post.
