I overheard a discussion this morning which made me so angry I could have screamed. Two guys were talking and one of them was explaining to the other that his "woman" was ugly, fat and "old" but she had money and she was so grateful to have him that she paid for everything.
At that point, my day was already a Monday--we got a lot of snow last night and the roads were only semi-cleared, I had a headache ibuprofen wasn't helping, a co-worker putting on her martyr suit and close to 300 approvals and publications to do plus my usual work. I really really wanted to take a minute to tell this jerk he was no prize himself and if he was lucky, the woman in question would kick him to the curb while he was still young enough to change, but I refrained.
The rest of my day was similar, but it was saved in the last ten minutes. An attorney I like and admire came in, and while we were talking, he asked if I parked at Morley Health Center. When I said yes, he said "Then you know it's such a mess that someone posted a sign saying Welcome to Lake Morley." I said, "Oh my gosh, that was ME!" and the attorney laughed his big, infectious laugh and we talked about it for a bit. I was excited at the time when other people contributed to the sign, but to find out that someone remembered it nine months later was such a rush that my day really ended on a high note.
I love making people laugh, and I love being appreciated. :-)
