Overheard at Work...

So I currently work in a Harry Potter closet... well not that bad but it is an abandoned file room. Because of this I am a bit removed from the people who work out in the rest of my floor BUT I can still hear their conversations... well here are some things I have overheard while working:

Let's get some iliterate guys who can actually play ball, then maybe the UofU would start winning again.

That's right! I'm wearing two different types of earrings... I wish it were a fashion statement.

Anything you say can and WILL be held against you.

Umm... who decided on the baby poop green color?

I'm good at offending people.

We should rid the world of all hard cookies.

It only takes one person to make a situation awkward.


What are some funny things you have overheard at work?

If I die...

Me at work the other day:

So umm… without thinking (and seriously! Why wasn’t I thinking) I just ate a crumb off my desk. Ew! I know! Welp then I just thought of the elevendy-billion germs that could be on a desk… so I may die. If so… just know I love ya

Midnight (almost) Gardening

So umm... it's almost midnight. I need to get to bed because I will be getting up in 6 hours to go running. I look over my day's to-do list and cross off the things I did (LOVE IT!) and then look at tomorrow's list.

Run 4 miles
Work
Journal Ragnar (something that keeps getting bumped)
Look into GRE prep courses
Plant flower seeds

Hmm... flower seeds... that's quick, I'll just do it right now! So I take the packet of flower seeds sitting on my dresser and head down stairs.

Supplies needed:

Flower pot (Found in my mom's messy room... where else.. haha)
Rocks (Gathered from around the deck outside)
Soil (Put my galoshes on, went into the garage, found the soil bag and used the cute garden shovel to scoop the dirt into the pot)
Water (Kitchen sink... so simple)
SEEDS! (Opened the wedding favor and sprinkled the seeds onto the dirt)
Fork (Raked the seeds into the dirt with the fork... so resourceful... I know!)

Yup... nothing funny, I just love that I decided to plant my flower seeds right before brushing my teeth, saying my prayers and going to bed.

G'Night!

(If they don't die I will be sure to post a picture of the seeds all grown up)

Like a Radio

So I was at work the other day and my job isn't what you would call "Mind Engaging," so it it easy for my mind to wander. Well on this particular "other day," my mind was like a radio on "seek" mode. I would start singing a song inside my head over and over and over again and then with out warning but also without realizing it, it would change to another song. Weird my mind is. Sometimes It would go back to a previous song sometimes it would move onto a new one. Well... this was the song line-up of this particular day:

Time to Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman
It is this beautiful opera-esk song that they play to the fountains in vegas... love it!

Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
Sure... why not... it was a song on the radio that morning and it is easily found stuck in one's head.

Poker Face by Lady Gaga
Gaga has a similar style to Perry so the transition makes sense.

The Full House Theme Song
REALLY? Umm... that's random.

Gesundheit [gəˈzʊnthait] aka Gazoontite

So at work there is this guy who works over the cubical wall from me. Well one day he sneezed. Ok, cool. I try to be a courteous person, so I naturally said, "Bless you." Well since then I have discovered that he sneezes ALL DAY LONG. Perfect. Now I'm in a personal awkward predicament. See, I really don't want to say "Bless you" all day long... that has to be annoying for him because I know it's starting to get annoying for me but I don't want to be rude either. So I was like... hmm what else could I say when he sneezes; there's always "Gazoontite" (or it's german lineage gesundheit [gəˈzʊnthait]), what else is there?

I googled "What to say when someone sneezes," and it only gave me the two options from above. UNLESS I want to go foreign... then I have some more options:

France: May your hopes and wishes come true!

United Kingdom: God bless you

Spanish speaking countries but not Spain (haha): Salud

Brazil: Saude (Means "Health")

Yugoslavia: Na zdravlje

Netherlands: gezondheid

Yup... that's it!

Who started the lie?!

I know it is sad but I only just found out about Nutella about two years ago... don't feel sorry for me... it's ok :) I have made up for the lost time.

Well, for some reason I thought it was healthy for you. Why I thought this you may ask, no idea. It was an automatic assumption without really considering the idea. A little while later I heard someone say how fattening Nutella was and at first I was surprised. My outward expression said, "Well, of course. Obviously chocolate (I know it's hazelnut but I consider it chocolate) in any form is not exactly a diet food." I didn't want them to think I was stupid. But my inward thoughts were, "WHAT?! For realsies?!" Aw man! Makes sense... i sure feel silly."

Since this moment of finding out Nutella was fattening I have heard of several other people (all girls... lets be honest, only us girls would choose to believe chocolate has the potential of being heathy/non-fattening... sorry to stereotype.) who were surprised to find out Nutella was fattening because they were under the impression that it was not. One friend was even eating out of the jar with a spoon when her dreams shattered as her sister told her the truth of the delicious treat. (Confession: I still do that! The facts will not stop me)

SO! I am convinced that somewhere, somehow SOMEONE started a subliminal message that Nutella was healthy! So I want to know! Who started the lie?! Because you got A LOT of people! Props to you, haha!

My Finger Nails Didn't Grow at All!

"I knew something was wrong. My finger nails didn't grow at all this week!" -Pheobe Buffet

If you didn't know, (and if you didn't know, then you don't know me at all... sad day for the both of us) I love the TV show FRIENDS. And umm... love is an understatement. I own every season of FRIENDS on DVD and I often will quote the show. I even go as far as relating my life moments to FRIENDS... pretty sad actually... oh well.

Well I had one of those moments this week: See there's this FREINDS episode where Rachel and Ross are breaking up and it's really sad and traumatic and Pheobe says, "Oh this is bad. Though, I knew something was wrong, my fingernails didn't grow at all this week!" WELL I had a bit of a stressful week and I was at work and I looked at my fingers and thought, "Weird, my nails are really short. When did I last clip them because I feel like it's been forever." Then this quote of Pheobe's popped into my head! Haha, maybe Pheobe knows something about stress and tension and maybe it really DOES affect the growing capacity of your nails.

Now there's something to think about :) One of my readers should go and research it and comment on this post
