there is a serious case of the grumpies today at the bank. some of these grumpies were mine, but i'm past them now having journalled and gone to a happy place. annie took me to my house for lunch searching for her wallet and i brought back gingerbread cake to fight back the mean grumpies and i must say i had some success. almost all of the cake is gone and there was joy in this office! i am a peacemaking success. atleast my cake is anyway. mmm cake. does anyone remember why mmm pie was so funny? sarah. i just don't remember.
it's only four oclock. sigh to fridays, silly convenient hours for working folks. i hate being convenient.
there was just a very amusing customer that was telling tia about his pay raise due to inflation, and it was some silly tiny sum, and he said "oh but i forgot there is no inflation, the president said so" and then i said "isn't that great? and i'm really excited about pigeon holeing childrens future potential."
it's always fun when there are politically savvy customers to chat with.
although i have been trying to limit my grumpiness i have to tell you all that i have been controlling very violent tendencies today. there have been moments, i'm ashamed to admit, that i just don't care that tia has to shave her legs so she can abstain from having sex with her boyfriend with whom she's going to sleep in the same room and everyone is going to gossip at the employee retreat that i'm not going to. these are help me moments. some days i can feign interest in idle chat, some days i just really can't. i'm very much looking forward to a quiet me and annie weekend.
