A Good Day

judecorpI'm determined to make today a good day. It's a "mandatory in-office paperwork day," but pretty much all of my paperwork is done. I have a couple of phone calls to make, but no major projects. And work is providing lunch (which is probably pizza, which goes against my "no junk food" rule, but I'll take it), and then a coworker and I get to sneak out and do initial contact on a family. This will be a nice break. After work, I'm supposed to go play with Coworker Sarah because her boyfriend is out of town on business and she's lonely.
So I think I'll bring some letters and paper in to work and try to have a little fun. Life is too short to waste it being unhappy. Even if it's 12 degrees out.

(I'm not trying to imply that you're racist, it's just one of those things hardly *anybody* knows about. And yes I'm probabbly overly PC.)

Date: 2004-01-06 08:11 pm (UTC)I'm not sure if you understand here, the Roma/Gypsies are an actual ethnic group.
"Gyp" is a very close equivalent to "Jew you down." Exact same concept.

Ask Jennifer - I remember having the same conversation with her. :)

Date: 2004-01-07 10:54 am (UTC)but no, i couldn't care less if your lj friends hate me or not. it's all rather funny to me :) if anything, it was a fun political discussion and i had the choice of continuing it further, or ceasing discussion of it and i made my decision :)
but woah: are all these people from the feminist community? cause this is the type of b.s. they discuss in there. "you can't shake hands with a clenched fist" ~ indhira ghandi
