Booooiiiiing...
So, um, when you run into a wall at work, do you go “booooiiiiing!” like in a pinball machine and violently ricochet off the opposite wall, water cooler, ceiling, floor, your boss?Coz that would be coooooool. :)-- Nanaea

Owwwwwaaaa...It's more along the lines of that. And then a puzzled look as to say, "Where the hell did that wall come from?" Yeah, something like that. Now my mid day stomach pains are coming. I'm just being a baby because it's my first day by myself. No one here to take care of me. I'm sure you guys just love hearing about it. So, Nan, when am I getting my prank call? I've been waiting by the phone since I started here. Oh, wait, I sit by the phone anyway. You know what I mean. ;) Hope to hear from you soon.Sarahjeanne

That usually happens when I'm not wearing my glasses. Unfortunately, I usually end up apologizing to the wall, except I usually say "Sorry, sir" or "Excuse me, ma'am". Created quite a stir back in 1980 when I went through the hall where the hearing-impaired students had their homerooms (some of them still tease me about that day, even today, but I get them by showing them what my world looks like without my glasses by having them look through them [as long as we're sitting].).Now, I try to get two pairs of glasses and keep the spare pair aroung just in case.Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria) i.e. your fellow bruised poster

Eh? Come again?Today I was the hearing impaired one in our class (my ears are congested with a cold) I had to keep asking the kids with the hearing aids to repeat the teacher's directions. They loved that!

LOL, that just shows how much of a nicer person you are than me, Phyllis! Instead of apoligizing, I say, "Owwaaa!" In my most attitude prone voice. Like the wall ran into me and has something to apoligize for. LOLSarahjeanne
