It’s just a little after 5:00 and I am at home enjoying the beautiful springtime weather. I have the door open and I am hearing planes fly by, birds chirping and my psychotic neighbor ranting. She’s so seemingly normal in passing. I honestly would have no clue she was so frickin’ crazy if our houses weren’t so close together that I sometimes overhear her very weird one-sided conversations. But I did not open up WordPress to blog about Sandy. I wanted to record how happy I am with this new job that I don’t have such a painful commute and I can be outside and free at only a couple minutes after 5. It’s wonderful!
Have you ever met a person who gives you a bad feeling? It’s like you somehow know this person is rotten. Rotten through and through. There’s no evidence of any type other than this unsettling feeling in your gut? And if you have had this feeling, do you think the rotten person might be having the same feeling about you? But maybe in reverse? I mean, they are also getting a weird feeling but for them it’s like, “This person is good and I don’t like good!” Just curious.
PS My psychotic neighbor produces no unsettling feelings in my gut. I understand she had an illness when she was young where her brain swelled and afterward she was no longer “normal.” I feel she is a good person plagued by an unfortunate incident that left her with brain damage.
PPS My psychotic neighbor is now laughing in the most maniacal manner– it sounds like she’s possessed!
There’s an off-putting guy I work with who my office-mate and I joke about. We know very little about his personal life, and yet we’re compelled to say things like:
“If bounty-hunting were like drowning kittens, he’d be Boba Fett. He’s the Boba Fett of kitten-drowning.”
I know … sounds like an awful “joke”, but the guy really gives us the heebie-jeebies.
Oh, and for the record, I do not condone drowning kittens,
N.
I work with a guy who *everyone* is creeped out around. It’s not that he’s done anything, in particular, but, we’re predicting that it’s just a matter of time…
I think it’s important to trust your gut, always…
Like there should be theme music when they enter the room like Syler’s on “Heroes” tick tick tick tick….
Pretty cool that you get to work with Ricky Torres – he’s one of my old hommies…
Anyone who doesn’t believe in a literal hell has never
worked for a corporation…makes you wonder what sort
of screening process the “human resources” (don’t you
love that new-agey sounding load of crap?) department uses. I have worked with people who shouldn’t be allowed to appear in public, much less share a cubicle across from me.
Glad to hear that the new job is going great! Also, glad to hear that you got the trojan whupped!!
