My one big frustration this morning is that I have such a lot of things I would like to ramble on about, that I actually get around to rambling about nothing in particular.
I was (still am, actually) in an exceptionally good mood, in spite of some circumstances that are trying to convince me that I shouldn't be. By the time I got through the traffic and got to work, however, I'd forgotten most of the stuff I felt like sharing.
This is mainly due to ONE person at the work place who decided that today would be a good day to make everyone else at the workplace as miserable as he himself feels. I refer to this person as a "stifler". This is generally NOT helpful in keeping the mind focused on all the good stuff you wanted to share with people during your trip to work!
It does, however, help you focus on trying to get others to feel better after the "stifler" has been around. I try my best to ignore the "stifler" and spend my time trying to remain as positive as I can. Unfortunately this is not always possible and then I find myself becoming more and more sarcastic in this person's presence...
If you could see the grin on my face right now, you would realise that it is not necessarily a good one. This, of course depends on whether you thought Jack Nicholson's grin in "The Shining" was a good one just before he smasehd the axe through the door!
I know what people say about sarcasm and how it is the lowest form of wit. I also know, however, that this is mainly said by people who do not understand sarcasm...or people at whom the sarcasm is aimed.
Anyway...so what I'm actually trying to let you know that I have all these wonderful, encouraging, uplifting thoughts I want to put on screen for you...but I can't seem to find them in between all the other thoughts that are curently cluttering my brain and clamouring for attention.
Based on my run-in with the "stifler" this morning, though, the one thought that keeps coming to the forefront is: "Vinegar versus honey", for some strange reason. Maybe I'll try the "honey-approach" a little later and see where that gets me...
