Life is like Middle School

I've had my fair share of jobs for the time that I've had to have jobs....Whatever my point is that I've worked for more than one company and navigated through more random co-worker relationships than some. Through all that I've done; working with children, working with adults who act like children and working with dogs who act like...well dogs, I've come to realize that no matter what stage of life you are in or where you work there is something about what life was like in middle school that is still true and applicable to where you're at now. Remember that one person in middle school who thought it was funny to drop their backpack on you while you tried to open your locker? Well they are probably now that  one coworker who thinks it's okay to complain about how everyone's stuff is in their way. Or that one kid who always hated every teacher? Well they're probably the guy that always complains about their boss now.  Basically once you hit middle school you never leave. You move on to other places and other people but the issues are the same. And while that seems really depressing keep in mind that some of the silly things followed us out of middle school too. Take for example Taco Bell's "Five Buck Box." Just TRY ordering that without sounding like a chicken;

    

    "Hi Welcome to Taco Bell how can I help you?"

"Yes, I'll have the Five buck box."

      "I'm sorry what was that?" 

"The FIVE BOCK BOCS!!!"

 (Boc...Moo? How does that sound like a chicken?)

( Wait...those aren't even chickens....I don't get it)

So the next time you feel like you're stuck in middle school just remember there are some people who never grow up and act like adults and there are some people who never grow up and act like adults who work for advertisement companies and get stupid slogans stuck in your head. And if you want to act like a middle school kid then please choose to be the goofy kind of adolescent adult and not the mean kid that no one wants to be around.

House

Today was one of those days where I woke up and thought "Wow, I can't wait for the dentist office to open."  Ever had one of those days? No? Me either actually. I'm afraid of dentists like people are afraid of clowns for no real reason but still SCARY. Once they finally opened I called and got the earliest appointment I could. I figured they would scold me for not flossing properly. You see my gums hurt tremendously. Just OUCH. So I was expecting them to lecture me and clean my teeth and send me on my way with orders to "Floss like a ninja" ( not sure how flossing like a ninja is better than actually just flossing but I digress.)  What I got instead was "Well this isn't something that is normally seen so I'm going to go get another doctor just to see if they think what I'm thinking."  

Well that doctor brought ANOTHER doctor who also wanted to look. Nice. They referred me to a specialist for a biopsy. BIOPSY!!! Lucky for me he looked at it and said "Oh that's not something I would biopsy unless this stuff here doesn't seem to be doing anything for it." It was good to hear but I had to make another trip back to the first dentist to confirm the prescription. When I went back I had to speak to a coworker of his because he was at lunch and I was told, "Yeah I got to hear all about what's going on it seems like everyone got to look." I felt like a medical mystery one that needed to be solved by an expert all while being viewed by an audience. I now understand what a patient on the show House must feel like. Famous and yet in pain. Ah House...how do you do it?

Guy On A Buffalo

There are some things you just CAN'T make up. Take this for example:

And NO that is not a cousin of our 16th president. Although there is a strong resemblance in the chin.....hum.

Anyway check out the first four short episodes of this silly saga.
