This is my life

I'm in a "training workshop" looking at Ways of Being diagrams and the instructor person is telling some story about losing the fancy keys to her new car. I don't get it. But one of my friends just dared me to bring a copy of Dianetics and a tin hat to the next session and I said yes.

This is why you can never let me get bored. I do very stupid things.

Huh? That just sounds like torture! *sends you some sparklers to play with at the next session*

I'm pretty sure there are Geneva Conventions against this. If there aren't, there should be.

Just remember to clutch your Dianetics close, look shifty eyed at everything, and jump when someone so much as breathes near you.

If you manage to throw Dianetics at someone in a fit of frightened panic, I will totally make you cookies.

Edit: Or a crochet Kirk.

Crocheted Kirk?

...

So by throw do you mean like a startled toss or a heavy lob???

Whichever seems to fit the moment. I don't want to force you to break character.

I'm telling you, bring Creation of Human Ability. It ups your crazy points... exponentially.

Tie two coke cans to a volt/ohm meter and clutch them tightly, telling everyone it's your E-meter ;)

I'm trying to obtain some of those little cardboard quiz things they hand out at street corners. Right now my plan is to leave them by the coffee and tea table.

*going directly to Hell in a handbasket, do not pass go, do not collect $200*

Uggghh. I hate that when Profs starts talking about stuff that's not going to help you with the course.

See this is HR psychobabble that's not all that helpful to start with, which makes stupid stories even WORSE!!!

I can safetly say, as someone who has worked in HR, that there is a good chance that they know this. But HR is masturbatory by nature. :/

It is also, as near as I can tell, the instructor's form of therapy. I now know way more about her relationships with her first husband, present husband, brother and sister-in-law, and mother than I want to know about SOMEONE I WORK WITH AND AM NOT REMOTELY CLOSE TO.

Don't be ridiculous, you're not allowed to use soup cans anymore. Those are cheap. You need the expensive, official cans that you can only buy in large sets.

There is now a combination of yogurt and OJ all over my monitor. :D

You will get through it. Just pretend your taking notes and doodle or write stories haha. Or ask if there will be a quiz on her personal life at the end.
