Life lessons learned this week: Vol 2

Posted by Amethyst Anne in

  • When moving offices, do not expect the person who signs your cheque to lift/pack/sort/unpack/organize anything!
  • Do not schedule movers to move offices the day before you leave for a mini holiday.
  • When needing to leave work early in order to travel, you will experience grid lock and suffer from extreme bouts of road rage.
  • It is much easier to go 30km more than the posted speed limit when travelling late at night.
  • You will forget something really important to your Cub when you pack too fast.
  • When spending 3 days with your parents, sister and brother in law (hello lurkers !!) you will undoubtedly consume copious amounts of alcoholic beverages.
  • Because Cub is going on a two week vacation with the grandparents, he will come down with a bad case of the stomach  flu, which will require a panicked trip to the local hospital.
  • When visiting your Mom, you will leave her house with waaay more stuff than you arrived with.
  • Leaving your child behind while you travel home will make you feel weepy and giddy at the same time. It will also make your husband ...interested.
  • Always leave a day to be at home after travelling, otherwise your vehicle will remain full of the extra stuff your Mother sent home.
  • Upon returning to work after a flash holiday, you will not feel rested and your cheque signer will quiz you endlessly as to why he can’t find stuff.
  • When dealing with a sick Cub, you will only have one day at work before becoming inflicted with his stomach flu.
  • When calling your Mother to explain that you are now sick from the stomach flu, she will conclude  that you must have been the carrier and they better not get sick! It will not matter that you got ill after Cub did!
  • If suffering from the stomach flu and are unable to leave the bed. The fat cat will HOWL at the top of his lungs all day expressing his discontent with being left alone for several days and the dog will bark incessantly.
  • The cheque signer will call you several times during the day because he can’t find stuff.
  • Puking does not keep  the husband...interested, but makes him buy soup and rent movies!
  • Stomach flu passes in two days.
  • Cub is not the real reason you are late for work. Fucking traffic is.
  • When wearing white pants – do not bother to drink coffee on your morning commute.
  • Water alone does not take out coffee stains.
  • Stomach flu is contagious.
  • The cheque signer doesn't like it when you call him at home.
  • I'm a big fan of  Karma.
Happy Weekend All!!
Cheers!
