So they come to work sick and infect me and then I get sick and they get better.<br /><br />I've learned that most people are inherently selfish.<br /><br />And I've learned that there is very little I wouldn't do for five million bucks (hypothetical what if questions). Like..."Would you go to prison for 3 years if at the end, you got five million dollars tax free?" My answer: Hell yes. That's literally 100 years of my present annual salary. Would I give away 3 years of my life to have 100 years of salary? mmmhmm Anyway...you can tell I have weird conversations with people. I have co-workers that were like, "No way would I do that." And I shrugged saying, "It's not like it's a real offer but if it were, I'd take it, and then I'd never have to work again and could live in Fiji."Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-406647533752065312012-07-23T07:54:04.904-05:002012-07-23T07:54:04.904-05:00yeah, and although we've only had a handful of...yeah, and although we've only had a handful of super high heat days, our humidity has been crazy this year.Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-82682429677538041562012-07-23T07:53:25.185-05:002012-07-23T07:53:25.185-05:00Amen!Amen!Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762622439282650752.post-61814573387740869032012-07-23T07:46:54.293-05:002012-07-23T07:46:54.293-05:00LOL, I'm with you.

It was nice only because I was pregnant at the time. The headache that accompanied not knowing where everything was because I'm a meticulous label-er was crazy. And then there is the stuff that went missing.<br /><br />And I wish we had made it to the beach this year. This makes the third summer we didn't make it, and it's only 4 hours away.
