Reach Out And Touch Someone

-
So if you heard the phrase "Can I just grab your extension?", you would be:

a) Sitting in your living room watching a porno

b) Having a fun time on a date

c) In a meeting with me, wondering in amazement, why I would use that terminology to ask for a male co-worker's phone number.

As soon as "grab" left my mouth, I knew the words were just spewing out with no thought process involved.

Did you say it with a British accent?

ex·ten·sion   [ik-sten-shuhn]
noun
1.
an act or instance of extending.
2.
the state of being extended.
3.
something that can be extended; an extended object: a table with drop-leaf extensions.

Obviously, you went with number three. Perhaps you really just needed more table space for the holidays?

"Whitney" had a similar theme last night. That was funny, too.

you do sound like a someone from another country, grappling with the strange language know as English. I think it's very funny and if I have an occasion to use it, I will!

No Pawsing - something much more difficult to understand - a New England accent :)

Yes, Dawna! I knew there was some hidden meaning other than the one I was worried others may be thinking...

What Solo? I am so tired of these sitcoms stealing my material. I really need to do something about that. (Yeah right CJ, lol)

Hey Tara - I really need to engage my brain when I am having a meeting with the HR team. Hope you get an occasion to use it!

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

Commuting Tips - How to Make The Drive More Fun

Today is Saturday, which means I get a break from driving to my job in Boston. I love what I do and I honestly don't hate my commute. By the end of the week however, I can get fairly tired from the trip. So, in order to stay sharp on my drive, I've adopted the following strategy to make things more fun,interesting and bearable. Talk on the phone. Talk a lot. And don't use your blue-tooth wireless set up either. It's more challenging getting in and out of Boston if you have one hand on the wheel and one up to your ear. Send text messages. Nothing says 'I love you' like a text message sent from a friend while navigating bumper to bumper traffic on the Mass Pike. My preferred technique - look down and type, look up for a quick lane check, back down again to type. Scan the newspaper. No better time to get caught up on the days events than while you are just sitting in your car doing nothing. Take mini-naps. Once you establish a path of travel, throw on the cruise co...
