to use my father's phrase: "i'm sick as a dog"

[minxnim]

well, it wasn't the plague. but it was a cold! the flu! and strep throat! HIP HIP HORRAY!

and i came into work today because i am so fuckin dedicated.

hopefully soon i will be able to use more of my dad's phrases, such as:

- 'if you wanna run with the big dogs, you gotta learn how to bark'.
- 'there are many ways to do things. my way, and the other stupid fucking ways'
- 'lemme show you where the bear shits in the woods'


among others....

oooh, triple threat!

(deperately trying to think of an appropriate phrase my dad uses)

 

[minxnim]

my dad would say 'well at least you're not sick AND in vietnam'

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

your dad should start a service where he emails you a piece of advice every day, like that "word of the day" thing. I would totally pay $20 a month for that.

hmm i will have to talk to him about that. it could be useful for people. my dad has a way of putting things in perspective for people.

incidentally, i just realized that i am wearing the following, at my job:
jeans with a rip on the knee
orange ankle socks
blue triple velcro strap fake converse sneakers
long sleeve gray t-shirt (boys size xs, sleeves are 3" too short)
nirvana "bleach" t-shirt with giant hole on the back from, you guessed it, bleach.

i simply CANNOT get fired, it seems.

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. I thought I was badass for wearing a courderoy buttondown with no tie.

 

[minxnim]

i wish i were joking that i am wearing this. because i look like crap and it was one of those situations where i forgot i was wearing it when i left the house... but at least no one has said anything yet. i may try to play it off by wearing a hoodie.

explain, please, elf boot queen.

 

[minxnim]

nick,
1) they're fake
2) they dont look like real converse at all (a, they aren't pointy, b, they're thick soled, c, they have a huge puffy rounded toe)
3) my MOM got them for me from delias

you have no idea how paranoid i am about pointy converse now...

oh yeah, and that delia's idea was squashed at the parental level. i complied and instead purchased... gah... A ROCK TUMBLER.

 

[minxnim]

your parents didnt want you getting her delias stuff!?!? what the bejesus?

also: converse ARE pointy. i mean, people need to just accept it. if they like it, okay... but they need to accept the pointy-ness of their own shoes.

(p.s. my shoes are very rounded)
