I completed a "friends survey" sent via email by one of the friends earlier this week; it was a kind of get to know you thing with all different questions. One of the questions asked what do you do when you are bored; and I replied I usually think way too much about stuff in life that perhaps I shouldn't - a fair comment I thought. However, the answer was perhaps not the whole truth as today bore testament to.
What a boring day at work, just mind-numbingly bad and it showed because a friend commented. So with absolutely nothing to occupy my mind, there wasn't even any eye-candy out and about, I made my own fun; I became seriously mischievous. I started by by piling furniture up against and in front of a filing cupboard someone was sorting through whilst they took a break. In my mind it was incredibly funny and very childish admittedly but it killed a few minutes in my day. Truth be told I fled the scene before the person returned as she kind of scares me anyway and may not have seen the funny side and hit me.
After this I spent the rest of the day complimenting all, sundry and one guy in particular on their shoes; like "your shoes look nice today". It is just a bizarre slice of my humour that I find funny but it's a shame this does not translate at times. The one guy in particular seemed a little disturbed by my constant shoe compliments and became somewhat suspect of my intentions; which in my mind made it all the more funny to pursue. So I got other people to approach him and compliment him on his shoes; it was just fun, me attempting to cheer the world up some and occupy my mind. In the end I was tag-teamed, threatened with physical violence and their words became a little personal, humorous but personal. I guess I may have took it too far or my intentions were misread; but I didn't back down and my words became humorously personal back.
But it all ended in smiles and not tears, so I guess all's well that ends well. The devil makes work for idle hands to do, according to popular belief ; today he did, I became possessed. Oh by the way, your shoes look nice today!

for anyone reading this who works with him heres some advice to deal with him when hes in one of these moods. this works trust me i know. i have to put up with it each time we go out. its a wonder hes still alive.
ReplyDeleteif his humour gets too much you have to tell him in no uncertain terms. STOP YOU ARE TAKING IT TOO FAR usually works. he does not understand any other terms. but try and not upset him with abusive language as then he takes it out on me by not speaking. thanks lol.
