A page dedicated to my rules to live by, lesson’s learned, anecdotes and the occasional ramblings of a stranger.
A days work…
S: What’s the matter with you? You’re normally such a tough cookie.
L: I think I’m tired of being a tough cookie.
S: Yeah I hear ya. We all have our times when we don’t want to be the tough cookie, we just want to be the milk.
“Sometimes you just have to trick people into wanting what’s good for them. Now that’s good marketing.”- Me
When talking about Marc Anthony:
P: I just don’t get what people see in him, he’s like this big. (gestures to tiny size)
S: Well I don’t know about that.
L: He might be skinny, but that’s not what I’ve heard…
“One of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do, is to stop loving someone because they stopped loving you.”
A night of networking…
L: Why do we have two spoons?
S: For dessert.
L: But why two? Ohh I know! For coffee!
S: What? Do you want a brownie now?
L: Hey! I wasn’t raised like this, I was raised by wolves. You should be happy that I can use a fork and knife.
A days work…
S: “Oh no, this thing is gonna be boring as hell…”
L: “Oh my god, no. Don’t say that.”
S: “…but at least there’s food.”
L: “So you think just because there’s food I’ll go?”
S: “Of course.”
L: “Well yeah, that’s true.”
S: “Let’s be real here”
Wise words from Mr. S:
“If you keep on living in the past, you’re gonna miss the future.”
“Forget regret, or life is your to miss.”
Note to self: If your male co-worker is complaining about being hot and sweaty when it’s not hot at all, he may be suffering from manopause.
A days work…
S: “Where are all the cute people?”
L: “Not here. Everyone here is either married, old or gay.”
S: “Yeah, or married, old and gay.”
“I can slap a bitch if need be!”- James
