Find a Happy Place
"Please excuse my friend, he's a little slow"
One of my favorite movies is Dumb & Dumber. It is one of those movies you would love to hate, but just can't. It relieves the stress of day to day living and there is nothing like it that can give you encouragement and self esteem. Just knowing there are stupid people like that out there makes me feel so much better about myself when I goof up. Even reliving the lines and faces of Harry and Lloyd bring a smile to my face in the most dire circumstances. I understand people have different tastes in movies, but this one is a classic that you just can't hate because it is so dumb and everyone needs some form of mindless entertainment now and again. Speaking of entertainment, I did like the movie Office Space. There is a part where this guy is sitting in his cube overhearing the receptionist next to him saying "Thank you for calling, please hold" over and over again in this annoying voice. He is really going to loose it because he is so sick of sitting in a cube and doing piddly work.
That is kinda how I feel today. Not that I can help the repetitive phone voices as I do work in the call center; but do we all have to use our happy phone voice all the time? I have been tempted to call in a British accent (even though I couldn't fool my dog) or in a deep gruff voice just to throw people off. But no, we have to have the stewardess tone. "Please put your chairs and tray tables in their upright and locked position." It more like "Sit up straight and fold up the damn tray in front of your face."
My first inclination that I was a bad mood is when I found myself, once again, chewing my phone cord. Maybe next time I will go stick a screwdriver in the oven.
