…if you toot mine. 🙂

I think I’m getting sick for the first time in two-three years. I want to blame the cold house but I lived through last winter with no colds. I’ve never had the flu…at least I don’t think so. I’ve never had a flu shot and won’t be getting one this year. Nor will I get the H1 vaccine.

M got this idiotic idea of trying to get people (uh, me) to say/write down the good things they have done. I’m assuming she’s talking about only @ work. Not that I would dream of participating. I would like for all the coworkers to list the BAD things they’ve done. I’m willing to stop by each desk and help everyone cuz I’m sweet like that.

Nice things I do at work

*hold the door open for ‘strangers’ even tho one time a lady on crutches snapped at me

*when others do something wrong, I’ll correct it 90% of the time even though we are supposed to give it back to the person. this actually hurts me b/c I get less things done. 10% of the time I let the person know, especially if I know they can easily fix it. Some days it’s back to back issues and I should probably email them so they can learn however, I know other people are sending them things back.

*went out to lunch w/ c even though I was terrified

see how silly this is? They do nice things for each other (buy lunch etc) because they are FRIENDS. I don’t consider what people do for friends and family as “nice”. Of course you are going to do that. I’ve done a lot of that (with family).

But if we wanna talk outside of work, friends & family, I can name tons of things. Of course I would like to do more like ‘meals on wheels’ or volunteer at the animal shelter. But volunteering at the animal shelter is pretty social. I just adopted my cat from there and there were more people than dogs, I can’t say the same for cats. There are tons of cats/kittens there. The main things I currently do are animal related like donating to the animal shelter which I have to do again (I only do it annually) and making sure the stray cats get breakfast and dinner. But I also love donating toys for Xmas even though I hate that holiday. lol. But I will give to the the kids. Then I start thinking about how I should give to Darfur and what about mental health organizations etc. etc. That’s why I like to pick one thing & stick with it. There are too many charities and I don’t have time to check them all out. How much on the dollar is going to ‘victims’ when I donate to the red cross?

I think I’m going to check out a volunteering site but this month is not the month to start. Super busy. The last time I volunteered it was at a park doing gardening. My social ineptness was a slight issue but they didn’t make such a big deal out of it like everyone else does/has.

Tomorrow I’m waking up @ 5:15 and leaving town to pass out Avon stuff. (okay I’m only going an hour away). I think everyone in this city hates me. I would probably feel this way even if I lived in Chicago or NYC.

Thanks for making me blog M. I never said I was nice.
